Press Release – Redhill F.C. Monday 18th. June 2007.
REDS Sign up Tommy!!
Redhill F.C management Committee are delighted to announce a series of Football Management appointments that represent the total restructuring of the ambitious Sussex County League Club. Chairman Andy Wheeler and his committee have been working tirelessly to seek a suitable replacement for former Manager Bob Langford and are delighted with the newly assembled team. Wheeler re affirmed the Clubs ambition to progress through the pyramid system with the aim of restoring Redhill FC to its rightful place among the higher echelons of the none league game stating that ‘the appointment of Tommy Sampson as first team manager along with the radical move of appointing Martin Chaplin as Director of Football represents the turning point in our desire to provide the people of Redhill with a team and a club to be proud of once again’. Wheeler continued to say that everyone at the club is ‘focussed on delivering the facilities to match our ambition and we hope the people of Redhill will turn out in their droves to support the Club next season. ‘Tommy Sampson is a winner and so too is Redhill FC, our season starts now with Tommy and his team seeking to assemble a strong squad to face the challenge ahead’
Not only has the Kiln Brow outfit dramatically changed its structure for its senior organisation it has also begun discussions with the junior section in order to set a path of opportunity for youngsters who will be able to progress from the junior ranks via their youth tem (under 17s) to the senior out fit. This is all part of the Clubs desire to have in place a plicy of succession planning that will see grater opportunities for young players in the Town. It is hoped that former Redhill player and manager Mark Endsleigh will play a key role in this process by developing these youngsters so that the Club can re enter both the FA Youth Cup and the Southern Youth league in twelve months time.
Set out below are details and pen pictures of all the new appointments at Redhill F.C.
