Better the devil you know.

What is it they say when a new Manager takes over? New broom sweeps clean isn’t it? Well over at Dellwood Avenue, the newly (well, October) appointed duo have opted for that classic 90’s favourite from our favourite antipodean songstress, Kylie Minogue instead. Since taking the Seasiders hot seat, Glen Driver has returned to his roots in the hope of staving off relegation with players who have once graced the Victory Road pitch at Leiston. The latest signing of Luke Hammond from AFC Sudbury takes the current total to seven edging towards a whole starting line up. The talent is certainly there and there are one or two sides weaker than the Seasiders so their Premier status will be guaranteed for another season. But as is always the norm with sayings and phrases, lets hope familiarity doesn’t breed contempt down by the Seaside.

What a load of absolute nonsense.
Firstly managers at all levels like to turn to players that they know, simply for that very reason...they know them!! Secondly, that column tells us nothing and offers nothing for discussion.
What a complete waste of time and meaningless drivel. If you are given the privelege of writing something for general consumption please do us the honour of actually developing an argument, rather than just cobbling together a couple of sentances.

I’m intrigued by the GAG blog about poking his nose in other clubs business. I didn’t realise that the current Felixstowe & Walton manager started his football career at Leiston, or who he has returned to his roots to sign, if indeed his roots originated in Leiston. I thought he was a Whitton lad! I wasn’t aware he had signed any players from Leiston, enlighten us GAG. It’s a bit like saying Leiston had signed most of their current team from AFC Sudbury and Ipswich Wanderers, when in fact they are probably all local born and bred Leiston lads, enlighten us GAG
