New management team.

It was briefly announced on the official site, before being removed at the time of this post, that we've appointed Paul Foley as our new manager.

Now, if its true, and it goes ahead, initial thoughts are that this is an excellent, if unexpected appointment. Foley, the son of former Millwall and Arsenal Assistant Manger Theo ( a man who could say "Ricky Otto" with more finesse than any other co-commentator on ITV's local First Division coverage in the early days of the premier league) has a great track record at near neighbours Vickers Cray Dartford (VCD), guiding them in his first three season's to second and first in the Kent League, and then an impressive seventh in the R1N last season, before the club's enforced relegation.

I said before that we should appoint from within the club's family - this is of course not the case if this is true, but given his pedigree, and the fact that he is young, ambitious and proven to succeed at this level, he could be a fantastic acquisition for this club. What we have to look out for now is the calibre of player he can attract to the club on our budget. He's a history of attracting good names to VCD (he took Simon Austin to them in the kent league from Ryman Premier Horsham, and recruited Ashley Probets from the wilderness), so lets hope he can bring some star quality to add to the decent backbone that we've already got on board at TOSC.

Of course, if its all conjecture, or fallen through, this is a massive OG for the club... but let's not jump the gun. Maybe they're just updating the site or summink.
