Looks like a few changes afoot according to this announcement from the club:

 

Tuesday 9th January 2007

 

Weymouth Football Club restructure.

 

 

9th January 2007

 

Weymouth Football Club Chairman Martyn Harrison today announced that a number of changes at ‘The Terras’ are being implemented as a consequence of an on-going review he has conducted at the club over the past few months.

 

‘Weymouth F. C. is an important part of a wider business and for almost two years I have devoted considerable time and resources to re-building the club to ensure it’s long term future. This has proved to be enormously difficult and has placed considerable pressure on both myself and my other businesses. Following a review of all our activities I have concluded that the best way to achieve the original goal of a sustainable football club is to re-structure, set new challenging but realistic goals for the future and operate very much more in line with the income we are able to generate.

 

‘The plans we have for the re-development of the club encountered set-backs last year but we are working on a revised strategy that I believe will offer up a sustainable future for Weymouth F.C. I continue to view this initiative as vital for our future.

 

‘In the weeks ahead there will be a number of changes that will place us in a better position to give the club the future it needs as well as the ability to maintain financial self reliance. I am working closely with the Board and Management to ensure that these changes take place as soon as possible. It will be a painful time for us as it is likely that there will be changes in the squad as well as some personnel at ‘The Wessex’.

 

‘I appreciate the irony of these changes coming at a time when we are enjoying success but it is imperative that achievements are delivered in a sustainable manner. I believe that now is the right time to make the changes that will give us the long term future we need.’

 

Ends

Having been a very close observer in the period leading up to The Mighty Saints' suspension from the Ryman Premier League and having attended the Winding-Up hearing in the High Court in London, and lived every moment through the problems leading to all of that in 2001/02, I certainly can't take any pleasure when another Non League football club gets into the level of difficulty that appears to be the case at The Muff. Or Canvey Island. Or Hornchurch.

 

Individuals may get their come uppance to whatever degree, and that's one thing, but as always, it's the fans on the terraces who suffer most.

 

And many of those fans of other clubs on the Conference Forum who appear to be enjoying the problems at the Wessex Stadium don't realise, or more accurately don't want to realise, that they, too, are a Press Release away from being in exactly the same situation.

 

I said nothing at the recent Fans Forum at t'Park, but John Gibson should realise that when he receives questions from the floor regarding the financial position of the football club [which, I have no doubt, bears no relationship to the situation at Weymouth FC, incidentally], those questions do not come from 'trouble-makers' or 'moaners' but, rather, from people who lived through the regime of the previous encumbent and would like some re-assurance that history is unlikely to repeat itself.

 

As a final aside, and to be absloutely honest, if the Board of Directors at three or four other clubs in the Conference Nationale get themselves into financial difficulty this season such that our position is maintained for next, that will temper my sympathy.
