Bicknell at Ampthill

[Winslow Boy]

Voted against him that's seems crazy knowing what he would put in

[ref off ref]

I know 5 figure sums have been quoted and that's fact.

With most clubs attracting gates of between 30-60 a home game then some people must have a right bee in their bonnet to turn down such generosity.

[Winslow Boy]

.......can only think maybe they were worried they'd get pushed out and I'm sure assurances were given that this wouldn't be the case

[Woods]

Assurances in football? dont think they exist.

 

 

As someone said they were worried about a takeover and Padbury aquiring a new ground for nothing, especially as the rumour all over MK is thats the plan anyway.

Can I just say to all new players trying to contact me send a text please and I will contact you when I am back I am not being rude lol just my bill is so big already lol

[john barnes]

Can you shed some light on the new players that are looking to play for you?

[Rhodes]

I wonder what Eric Turner thinks of all this

[Mr Angry]

Can you shed some light on the new players that are looking to play for you?

 

No

[the special one]

lol like my head

Rumours are that Steve Goodridge has stepped down prior to today's friendly v MK Dons X1 leaving Craig Bicknell in sole charge as the new Ampthill manager.

[NeutralFan]

Didn't Rhodes predict that?

[Rhodes]

What about Steve Tucker, I thought he had joined the pay roll at Ampthill Park

PAYROLL

[Rhodes]

Winslow Fox - Well you know what I mean, has he decided not to touch the Club with a barge poll then

[Winslow Boy]

Rhodes what are you on about? Are you incapable of making a sensible, relevant, measured etc... Post?

[Rhodes]

leaving Craig Bicknell in sole charge as the new Ampthill manager.

I was only going by this post by Ref Off Ref, if Craig Bicknell is in sole control at Ampthill Park then I assume that Steve Tucker is not onboard

[john barnes]

I hear Steve Goodridge is still the manager.

 

Bit of a circus- It was always going to be hard as they are not Steve Goodridges players.

[bicknell]

I can confirm that as from last thursday that steve goodridge stood down as joint manager.as a result of this I got the job as number 1 with steve and tucker working along side me.

I would like to confirm,that rather than step down, i have had a long lengthy chat with Craig & am stepping aside to work with him & Tucker as our coach. We bounce ideas off eachother & have the upmost respect for 1 another & what we can bring to the club. We both have individual qualities that we bring. Craig with his man management skills,discipline, drive & enthusiasm, & me with my experience at this & higher levels,devotion to the club & football brain,believe we can take this club to new heights. Add that to the quality that Tucker brings as a coach, & i think we have an exciting season ahead.

We are all extremely ambitious,are buzzing in pre-season & if the players are even half as committed as us 3 are,then we are in for a gr8 season!! With 2 forwards hitting hat-tricks in the last 2 games, the south mids defenders might have their work cut out!

[john barnes]

Shame that Goodridge had to step away from being manager.

 

I know he has done alot for Ampthill football club. I think alot of people knew the joint manager thing wouldnt work and they where right. Just over a month into pre season Ampthill have lost there original coach and manager. Next your be telling us the chairman has left and Phil Smith has taken over.
