Red Robbo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Noted in the Biggleswade Chronicle yesterday; Biggleswade United have announced Mike Reardon as their new manager for the coming season, writes Mike Simmonds The Molten Spartan SML Premier Division side made the appointment after former boss Phil Childs stepped up to the role of general manager and chairman. Reardon, a UEFA B level coach, has been in charge of Braintree Town, Haverhill Rovers and Stanway Rovers previously in his career. Reardon’s assistant will be Mark Royal, who was an apprentice at Chelsea under Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli, and then joined Charlton Athletic before injury forced him out of the game. United have also secured the services of Chris Lewis as the club’s physiotherapist for the new campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Reardon’s assistant will be Mark Royal, who was an apprentice at Chelsea under Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli, and then joined Charlton Athletic before injury forced him out of the game. I'm always a bit suspicious of name dropping such as this and is there any real need for it, if Mark Royal was at Chelsea with the likes of Gullit and Vialli then what is he doing at Biggleswade United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd_lexic Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I must admit, neither name is familiar to myself, especially as I've known a good few of Braintree's bosses over the past 10 years or so. Good luck to them both. Makes a change from seeing the same old names & faces turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 All I'm saying is why not just let Mark Royal's ability do the talking next season rather than big him up and mention Gullit and Vialli as the only way is down for him now isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
