Smith Leaves Wrexham
With Wrexham's financial troubles escolating manager Dennis Smith has resigned to further Wrexham's troubles. Un-confirmed reports say that Smith couldn't cope with the pressure of the day to day running of Wrexham, especially with the club in turmoil. Smith has not commented about the resgination but player spokesman Brain Carey, commented " Obviously the gaffer (Smith) felt it was to much stress, especially when us the players haven't been paid for at least 2 months".

With Wrexham in major financial difficulties it is unconfirmed that rookie coach Nick Tennant will take charge of Wrexham.

News Of The World
Rookie Takes Control Of Club In Crisis
Wrexham have appointed Nick Tennant as there manager. This doesn't fill the local fans with optimism as Tennant lacks experience at the managment level. Having signed a 3 year contract Tennant will face a hard task of keeping Wrexham afloat from the reachs of League 2.

With around 16 days passed as manager of Wrexham football there isn't much to note.
The players have started pre-season training with coaches Russell and Dibble among others putting the players through the paces.

On the friendly front we struggle against lower opposition including a 2-0 loss to Newport, 3-0 loss to Berwick and a 1-0 loss to club I can't remember the name of. Worryingly we face Porto in a high profile encounter at the Racecourse in a few days.

With certain financial constraints I struggle to attract players of high quality (whilst Barrow and Vauhxall Motors- also known as General Motors fight it out for around 300 players) but have managed to sign 3 players.

Talbot - 16 year old striker released from big spenders Wednesday. Lethal finisher who can punch above his own age.

Paul Warhurst - 34 year utlitity player, who can play every where on the pitch apart from in goal. Season pro from a free transfer, adds experiences a versatility.

James Collins - From Ray Lewingtons Watford, young unexperienced centre half and midfielder costing zero pounds. Got him under the noses of Rob's QPR (although hes says he pulled out because he was rubbish).

Smith Resigns, Whilst Rookie Takes Charge
With Wrexham struggling financially the club have announced today that manager Dennis Smith has left the club. Un-confirmed reports have reported that Smith has been in dispute over wages. The club are in major debt and players haven't been paid for around 4 months. The club have hit out back at reports and the club spokesman said "Dennis has left mutually on internal club matters".
With ex chairman Alex Hamiliton still owning the Racecourse and looking to sell for property development this couldn't of come at a worse time for the Wrexham FC fans.
The club have wasted no time making an appointment with rookie manager Nick Tennant been thrown into the mantle. This doesn't fill fans with enthusasim as one fan summed it up with "Who?". Player spokesman and club captain Brain Carey released this statement "Obviously the players are dissapointed with Dennis leaving but he was under more strain than all of us put together. The new boss has come in and we wiill all work hard to help the club through this new period"

First thing to note through the 16 day period was the 3 friendlies we played. Firstly we lost to 1-0 to team I can't remember the name of, then we lost to Newport County 2-0 and finally we lost to Berwick 3-0. So overall not a good start to my campaign as Wrexham manager, especially with no goals scored and 6 conceded. The announcment of Chris Armstrong with knee cartlidge trouble furthered my depression.

On the signings front we signed 3 new players (whilst the minows Barrow and Vauxhall Motors battle it out for 300 players offering Astra's and a one wheeled garden tool as lucrative deals)
Anyway to the sigings:

Talbot: Young 16 year old striker picked up off the long listed of free agents. Released by big spenders Sheffield Wednesdy, lethal finisher and can punch above his own age.

Paul Wharhurst: Another ex Sheff Wednesday free agent. Aged 34 offers bags of experienced and versaitility.

Collins: Signed from manager Ray Lewington
fot the cost of zero pounds. Beat off competiton from Rob's QPR for his signature (although he says he pulled out of the deal).

Very good opening update Nick, I am impressed. Get Mr Moderator on the scene and he can delete one of the posts. :thup:

I would just like to say that it was a pleasure to finally get EFB underway and going again.

In my and Andy's third term with the game, it should be just as good as the last 2.

Chef,

Any chance of tweaking the Crawley Badge so it is all in view rather than chopped top and bottom?

Thanks :thup:
