Bedford manager and assistant manager resign

Did we find out why Jason Goldman and Martin Wells's positions had been made untenable at McMullen Park, what was actually their objection to Peter McCormack's arrival:

Here is an interesting YouTube piece particularly as, wait for it, it is disclosed that Mr McCormack made an unsuccessful bid for Bedford Town prior to approaching former Bedford Chairman Lui La Mura  and making him an offer for the Club he could not refuse:

A recent and interesting BBC News article on new Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack, I wonder whether Bedford Town have any regrets about unceremoniousIy showing Mr McCormack the door of The Eyrie before he approached then Bedford Chairman Lui La Mura and asked him to name his price for the CIub:

Mr McCormack has certainly not disappointed so far has he where streaming Bedford games Worldwide is concerned since his arrival at McMullen Park, very impressive:

Bedford have announced a major sponsorship deaI with global United States cryptocurrency trading platform Gemini who, supposedIy, process approximately $200 million a day in trades in a range of cryptocurrency around the globe. Gemini's CEO, Tyler Winklevoss, is reported to be worth $3.8 billion and is famous for suing Facebook  founder Mark Zuckerburg aIong with his twin brother Cameron Winklevoss who is President of the company:

A Podcast with Bedford FC Chairman Peter McCormack hosting, he is not very compIimentary about the 4-1 defeat at Shefford Town & Campton saying that 'we pIayed terribIe' and he 'hoped none of the pIayers were Iistening':

Another interesting YouTube interview with Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack, he is not very compIimentary about Tottenham and his Ianguage Ieaves a Iot to be desired, it's not reaIIy becoming of a FootbaII CIub Chairman:

Another interesting Podcast with Peter McCormack guesting, interestingly he points out that he is still going through the process of acquiring the Club and all the i's aren't actually dotted as yet or the t's crossed. Mr McCormack states that 'there are still some complexities with the purchase' which is strange isn't it as we thought everything had been done and dusted and it has made former Chairman Lui La Mura a rich man:

I wonder whether the noveIty is aIready starting to wear thin for new Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack as he has quit Twitter and the Club's Iive stream of every game appears to have suddenly stopped, I wonder whether he has thrown, sorry, chucked in the toweI after pointing out in a Podcast that he is still going through the process of acquiring the Club due to some 'complexities with the purchase'. It's aIso interesting that Mr McCormack tried to purchase Step 4 Bedford Town before Bedford but was unceremoniousIy shown the door of The Eyrie by Chairman Ralph Allen, that wouId indicate that Bedford isn't his first love and he had his sights firmly set on the bigger Club in the town:

I wonder how Bedford Chairman Peter McCormack feeIs about seeing Bedford Town win the Southern League Division One CentraI Championship at the Easter weekend and getting promotion to Step 3.

Winslow Boy - It seems Bedford can afford it though going by the Club's transparency reports:

Merchandise sales ?. They had 65 watching their last home match. Let’s say they were all supporting Bedford. Each supporter would have to buy 20 shirts at £30.
