From Jeff Manners, Newport:

So, Newport FC are on the lookout for team managers (CP, 27-04-18). Surely this club cannot sink much further?

When they moved to St George’s Park from Church Litten, they had everything. Nice stadium, practice pitch (both floodlit), first-class club facilities. The future looked bright.

However, because of staggering incompetence; gross mis-management and giving this once-proud club away, they now own nothing but the shirts on their backs.

Having cleverly got himself elected as chairman, perhaps Tony Wake would like to appoint another South Coast Leisure director to the management team.

It won’t matter if they do not know anything about football like Mr Wake, but it would surely strengthen SCL’s position in any future dealings with the football club. Nothing like having a foot in both camps when it comes to negotiating any lease/rental terms for usage of the proposed new ground.
