Albion's Senior Sides....What the future holds?

With both senior management teams standing down at the end of the season the club has offered options to existing squad players with a view to canvassing for replacements. Each of the current squad at Senior Ams level were asked formally, with letters distributed to each player, requesting that they assist the club with finding a solution to appoint a new management team. There have been tentative discussions, with certain senior squad players, endeavouring to find an answer to the problem, but at the time of writing no solutions have been found. The situation is now critical as the L&EAFA AGM is being held in under a weeks time and the league association will be looking for a firm commitment from the club in relation to registering the Senior Ams for next seasons league campaign. The situation re new management appointments go beyond the role of team playing affairs. The substantial outlay required by clubs just to keep solvent is increasingly becoming a major obstacle. With association and national affiliation fees reaching £300+ the insurance premiums, both personal injury and public liability, pitch and referee fees all having to be considered along with new kit purchases, the decision to appoint the right management team at Senior Ams level can't be taken lightly. The Senior Colts Squad's position is less of a problem. Although no managment team may be appointed, the senior players within the group, have decided that three or four of the squad will "share" the management duties and tasks. There is a real desire among the squad to nurture and develop the idea. It may be deemed as unorthodox, but the running of the section as a ”co-operative” has a great chance of working. This idea has also been proposed to the Senior Ams as a possible solution. It may be the only solution!
