Subject: Wimborne

The leaving of Christer Warren has forced the Board of Directors to act to find a new Manager and it is clearly plain to see that for a senior club like Wimborne Town to appoint two people with absolutely no senior management/coaching experience was a recipe for disaster. It was clear to me at the end of last season, (remember three points out of thirty against the top five teams) despite the two incumbents having a much larger budget than Paul Arnold ever had, whose team played in a Wessex League much stronger then, than now against such teams as Andover/Newbury/Thatcham/Lymington&New Milton/Eastleigh/Gosport/Winchester. After Paul, at the start of the new management, it was said that the club wanted promotion and that the previous seasons, run on a kitchen sink table atmosphere was going to change to a professional run outfit and the Echo talk is now that perhaps the fans want to see the team play pretty football and score lots of goals against second rate teams, such as the recent nine game winning run. Not one of the players brought in (apart from Pete Smith/Kev James/Mark Jones are of the calibre of Darren Powell or Jamie Sturgess and Gareth Barnes for all his laziness you could get twentyfive goals a season from him which we do not have now because Scott Joyce has been messed about so much this season as our management pair did not fancy him, no wonder he is ****** off which is clear to see.

Mr Batchelor ridiculous comments to the Echo that they did a professional job on Alton (third from bottom with two wins only) and he wants them to change from their Jeckyl/Hyde form, well perhaps he wants to take a good look at himself in the mirror because again in my opinion the players do not rate him as a coach and that is where we now have a problem because he has three 'hats' within the Club and he has told the players he fancies the Manager's job himself which was met with utter silence! With our Chairman telling the Echo that the new man will have 'to work with the current situation', does that mean that Mr Batchelor intends to continue with his coaching duties?

The Board should make sure that they get the right Manager this time, as someone else said to save our season, as after today against Hamworthy we have no chance of promotion AGAIN this season. As an interim, the Board might wish to think about asking Paul Arnold to take over the team whilst they select the new Manager as he would be able to install the confidence, shape and good tactics within our good squad of players so that we can have at least a good FA Vase run. I for one would like to see Mr Batchelor to do the honourable act of tendering his resignation as Coach because his 90% of input has got us nowhere. Do not anyone say that I do not care as I am hurting inside as much as our players are and no doubt a lot of the loyal fans that turn up each week and you can be sure that our rivals over at Poole are laughing their socks off!
