Andy Polston in as Assistant Manager

[Simon BTFC]

Says tonight's echo.

 

Apparently the former Spurs (1 appearance <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) Brighton Cambridge and Gillingham pro has plenty of playing experience having played for Hendon, Stalebuns (almost 200 appearances acording to the book) Braintree, Boring Wood and Ford.

Seems like a sensible appointment, somebody with Ryman League experience, never heard of him mind!

[jl]

dont know too much about him personally.

 

their first task is trying to persuade jj to stay. i,m not too surprised ollie has gone as he always gave the impression he would go at the end of the season but i think we have a chance of keeping jj. Let's hope so anyway..be interesting to see whether the new management team go for the youth or experience approach.

 

Anyone know if Gary Calder has resurfaced anywhere?

[Simon BTFC]

No sign of Calder yet.... Been linked with a few jobs though but nothing concrete yet.

 

I understand the plan is to go for a "blend of youth and experience" with a core of experienced non-league players augmented by young ex-pros released by premiership and nationwide league clubs.

After the last premiership reject we had bring on some more premier league rejects. Shame it wasnt someone with ryman league managerial experience

[Andy Walsh]

Polston is only 32, but least he has plenty of non-league knowledge. I thought they might have gone for someone a bit more experienced, but I'm sure they will do alright.

Just seen this on www.nonleaguedaily.com, we've got another person probably playing for us next season:

 

Polston is the final piece in the new management jigsaw at Billericay that also includes former Bowers United boss Tony Cross, and like Edinburgh, is expected to sign playing forms for the club.

I guess there will be some space in the dug-out then with manager and assistant out on the pitch!

[Andy Walsh]

I assume Tony Cross will be shouting the instructions if both Justin and Andy are going to play.
