To our Supporters – Chairman’s Update

Having just returned from some time abroad I wanted to reach out to you all to thank you for your continued support. I know times haven’t been easy, but your support has never waned, and I really appreciate this. Please continue to get behind Martin Kuhl and the team for rest of the season.

As I previously communicated to you in my programme notes in the Chertsey Town fixture before Christmas, Martin is a highly decorated coach with Premier League and Championship experience and has the full backing of the club’s ownership group and support staff. The team is in a period of transition and Martin is working extremely hard on implementing his ideas and philosophies into a new group of players as well as on the recruitment side in conjunction with Peter Stanford. We believe that with time this will begin to pay dividends.

I am aware that there have been some questions amongst fans regarding the departure of Mahrez Bettache. As I mentioned previously Mahrez was only ever in an interim position, he was not sacked and was asked to stay on at the club as an assistant to Martin. Mahrez declined our offer but is still highly regarded by the club, we just felt that the opportunity to take someone of Martin’s stature and experience was a move that will benefit us in the long term and that we needed to act while Martin was still available.

At the time of writing there is still very little I can say about the issues that have created the problems that the club are continuing to endure. They are problems that have been underlying for a very long period of time, long before we arrived at the club, but we are working very hard and committing a lot of resources to get this resolved. As soon as I can update you on this I will.

I would like to thank the core group of fans and the supporters club for their continued support and contributions. This does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.

We are continuing to work very hard to bring the football club into a position of long- term stability and back to a position where it belongs.

This was also in Saturdays programme. However, even though we may not agree with some of the points made, that is irrelevant. I have been, and still am, critical of some of the Chairman's decisions, he has done his bit by starting to communicate with the supporters. For the club to progress this communication is vital. The supporters need to understand that the manager has been given a number of new players (11 according to the league website). It is up to the manager to get the best out of those players, for the Chairman to ensure that those players remain with us, and for the supporters to get behind those players to try and ensure league survival. Let's leave criticisms till after the season is over - them hopefully we can look forward to a better season next year.
