Ogier chews over future

By Aaron Scoones

STEVE OGIER is considering stepping down after Guernsey’s defeat in Monday’s Muratti. ‘It’s up to the board, but when you think about it, five years is a long time to be in charge,’ said the island boss.

‘I’ve got to take stock. At the moment it’s the day after a disappointing day and I’m gutted. The game is still fresh in my mind and you’re analysing your own performance – could I have done anything different? I’m going to step back and ask, do I want to carry on?

‘I always thought to myself that it would be a five-year term. It’s maybe out of my hands as far as I’m concerned. I’m going to sit down and have a chat with Tony [Vance, assistant coach].’

By his own admission, Ogier (pictured) has not been successful in terms of the big game of the year, winning only one Muratti since taking over in 2003.
