The club is pleased to announce that Coach Mike Share has confirmed that he will stay with the club in till the end of the season and will play an instrumental part rebuilding for the upcoming season.

Coach Share said prior to the announcement "I has been a very difficult season especially behind closed doors I have tried to keep things private. Although it will seem a real set back that the club can not compete anymore this season I feel that the suspension will really benefit the club to get everything in order for the upcoming season. I also feel that now everything is in the open that it shows what a difficult job I have had and that it was impossible to achieve our goals in the current state the club is in. I never experienced anything like this in my career but I can not stress enough that I am still fully committed to the club at least in till the end of the season so that we can get everything in order and restructure the club. Maybe it is my chance to be let to do my job so that at the end of the season we can sit down and see what the next best step is for the club and for myself. At least I will know that come the summer even if I decide to leave the next person who will be given my job will not experience the same problems as I have and will be able to take the club forward".
