elrey Coalville Town have announced they will withdraw from their league and disband.
That's Leroy Lita's club, after Nuneaton Borough went under earlier this year. Man, who's going to want to sign him now?
Sad how local football seems to be going under, while money is pouring into other clubs and people don't care about their local football. Feels like England will turn into Spain, where half the country is just split between Real and Barca (I lived in Caceres, 4 hours from Madrid and like 16 from Barcelona and everyone supported these two clubs, even the guy from Sevilla).
"Coalville Town have withdrawn from the Southern Premier League Central division with immediate effect after their Chairman Glyn Rennocks has decided to step away from the club, stating costs as the main reason.
Part of his statement is below
As I approach my 70th birthday I can no longer continue to subsidise the club. I have always ran it in a sustainable way, never cut budgets and the club has no debts, However, after much thought and discussions I have taken the difficult decision to step away. The club will withdraw it’s men’s senior team and resign from the Southern League with immediate effect.
Over the last 2-3 years the costs of running a football club at this level have spiraled and the income has not matched the rise in costs.
Also in recent years the once fantastic support we received from North West Leicestershire District Council has diminished, especially since a certain councilor came to prominence.
There is a lot more on the statement including listing costs, broken promises, retirement, thanking staff and sponsors etc.
But it is the fans this will really hurt.
Let's hope something can be done!"

South Coast RoyalSutekh James Henry (now 34) released by the Ox. Wonder if he might end up back here?
In our first Premier League season I was fortunate (not so fortunate for him) to be sat next to Steve Coppell at the League Managers Association annual dinner at Stamford Bridge.
He was very open when we talked about individual players and about young James Henry (bearing in mind the sort of winger Coppell was himself) he had reservations because he failed to track back and help out the defence and , despite his ability on the ball, he might not succeed unless he learned to do that.
James has had a reasonable career but possibly could have done better and although we ended up with a winger in Glen Little who also didn't track back much I guess his dribbling skills and passing ability made up for it.
Although he never lived up to expectations I remember a game away at Spurs where Halford was really exposed at right-back as he received no defensive help at all from Little and Spurs scored 6 (IIRC we scored 4?).

From Despair To Where? Kebe was a weird one. It was like someone one day flicked a switch and it all suddenly just clicked. I've never seen a player transform so dramatically, so quickly.
I presume it was all down to McDermott.

I'm afraid one of us is getting separate things mixed up. By the time of that dinner, Little would have already played 95% of the games he'd ever play for us. So it wasn't so much "we'd end up with Little" as "we'd already been using Little".
The match Halford played at White Hart Lane was a narrow 1-0 defeat due to Halford handling in the area to give away a penalty. Graham's match report does mention we were under a lot of pressure throughout the match, and it was Little in front of him.
The 6-4 game was a year later. Murty was at right back and Hunt on the right wing - say what you like about Hunt but he couldn't be accused of not putting a shift in. My memory of that game was that it was basically Kitson vs Berbatov, and Defoe scored a goal that should have been disallowed for encroachment. Murty and Sonko were both dreadful.

We’re delighted to confirm that exciting attacking midfielder Josh Barrett has signed on for the 24/25 season!
Barrett joined the Shots in January 2024 and scored two goals; including a brilliant free-kick in the last minute of our final game of the season against Dagenham & Redbridge.
On signing his new deal, Barrett said: “I’m delighted to have signed for the upcoming season!”
“I’m really excited to get going again and hope for another great season for the club. I Look forward to seeing everyone at the EBB soon.”
Tommy Widdrington added: “I think everyone will be pleased to hear that Josh is to extend his stay here at Aldershot.”
“Having worked with him for some time I, more than most, believe I know how he works/ticks and he’s very aware of how I operate and of what I expect from him.”
“JB (Josh Barrett) knows this is a big season for him as he missed a lot of the early part of last season with a foot injury – I expect his all round fitness levels to be as good as he can achieve as when he’s fit and flying he is a massive asset to any side.”
“We all saw glimpses of his ability towards the back end of the last campaign and I’m sure, working together, we will see more!”
Congratulations, Josh!
