We finally have some news.
Trevor Senior has joined the management team, and Vance, Brooke's, Bowles, Griggs, Davis and Ormrod have all agreed terms.

Can anyone confirm if Trevor is the assistant manager as the article doesn't specify his role, only that he joins Lairds backroom staff?
He mentions how he's looking to bring in local talent, which is all well and fine, but I think we need some proven players to join the club as well. I know Laird has contacts at Taunton, Weston etc. Also Wimborne down the road, I'm hopeful we can look to bring in one or two players from those names as well.

I wonder what people think about the way this news was announced...
For the last couple of weeks, it seems that not a day has gone by in the Echo where Weymouth have announced a different player signing on for next season. I can't help thinkng that staggering the news in such a way generates more interest in their club.
Contrast with DTFC where the announcement about six players signing on is almost a throwaway comment in the last paragraph of an article about something else. Are we missing a trick?
Or is it not our fault and simply the old tried and tested Echo bias?

I was thinking the same Sean. While it's essentially the same having 6 players and a coach announced I can't help but feel announcing it in bulk isn't the best way of doing it as for a whole fortnight, while work has been going on behind the scenes, there has been no communication on it until Saturday night. This only causes concern and rumours amongst fans, as opposed to over the hill where they've kept a steady flow of news on a near daily basis, thus creating a feel good factor. Whilst it's good that work is being done, the club shouldn't keep us in the dark but let us know as and when things happen. Lets not leave it another month before the next batch of news gets released.

Craig was on holiday the week after the season finished so there wouldn't have been any talks until he got back.
With some of the players being linked to the club we could be in for a very good season.

I won't name names on here in case any are true, the rumours ive heard are two ex league players and two ex Weymouth players.
A few local youngsters who will do well at our level and probably push on to higher things.
It sounds like the target is the play offs.

Would love one of those ex-weymouth players to be Billy Lowes.

Would also love to see Billy Lowes here. He was one of the best players on the pitch when they beat us 2-1 at their place back in August. On the subject of Wimborne, I would personally accept the return of a Mr Tobias Holmes from them, if he were to become available... |

Toby scored a ridiculous amount of goals last season, he wasn't great for us but didn't really get a decent opportunity. I guess Luke Holmes would stay there, but I would rather have Lowes in that position.
Lowes would be one to put on a contract, he has so much potential.
