I believe the pressure of management at this level can be difficult to cope with,let alone enjoy as a hobby, unless you think there is some chance of success. Nathan Rudge has obviously decided he can't achieve success and the role was affecting the rest of his life too much. So Thank you Nathan for your time and effort.
Where do we go now ?
What sort of person do we need take the club to the next level in its development ?
Do we want to just win games or do we want to play with style and flair?

Well, it's better that he moved aside to let someone else have a chance while the season is still young, if he felt it was something he couldn't continue. Hopefully we can get a good new manager who will breathe some new life into the team.

Thanks Rudgey. You put a lot of effort in for this club.

There was (and still is) a distinct posssibility of us propping the table up by September. Look at the fixtures. With 4 going down and no odds on bottom team like last year, I predict a 10 way bunfight to stay up. It's a tough old league this.. I'd throw my support in for a man like Collier, knows how to operate on a budget and always turned out a tough side. That said, I'll be honest and say that when I saw Winters credentials my immediate thoughts were - This is Rudgeys replacement being wheeled in the back door.

Thanks and good luck Rudgey.

The timing's a surprise but have to say it's welcome, feel he should have gone after the FA hearing but now time to move on. Agree we need an experienced head and someone with contacts, so...bit of a dream this but how about Lee Collier and Charlie Griffin as a dream team.

Get the experience of Collier, the contacts of Charlie (and another striker), the club would get a boost with the return of a local hero and it'll give everyone a lift. Fingers crossed
