They
have taken full control from previous owner Stephen Saunders, who will remain
as the club`s chairperson as the new owners look to put in place its short,
medium and long-term plans.
Gary
Parsons has been made the vice-chairperson and Stephen Roberts has also come
onto the Board of Directors.
Colbran
and Willard will continue their roles in the management team as well.
Colbran (pictured),
who previously managed Horsham, Worthing and Crowborough Athletic, came in to
work alongside UEFA pro-licensed coach Willard in September.
This
change is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the club, Saunders feels he
has taken the club as far as he can and to ensure its continued survival and
progression a change was necessary at the very top.
The
club has identified two sites for a new stadium within Langney which is a key
part of Langney Wanderers long-term viability and this is obviously the biggest
priority for the club at the moment.
So,
in the short-term, the playing budget will be tightened, and youth development
will be a key part for the remainder of the season.
Stephen
and Tracey Saunders have been the heartbeat of the club since its formation and
will continue to be an integral part of the club moving forward. |
