GFA to run ad for new boss
Friday 10th October 2008, 2:30PM BST.
THE man in the street can throw his hat into the ring for the vacant island manager’s job.
This follows news that the Guernsey Football Association is going to advertise the post. Mark Le Tissier, the GFA chairman (pictured), explained:
‘There are quite a few names being suggested in local football circles at the present time and we believe that it would make the board’s decision easier if they knew who was genuinely interested in the appointment.’
The association has been without a senior island manager since Steve Ogier, along with his assistant Tony Vance, resigned last month after it became clear the GFA, prompted by the island’s senior clubs, did not wish them to carry on while they were associated with Guernsey United.
The football grapevine has linked several current and past coaches with the job which has little to involve interested parties this side of Christmas, but a good deal in 2009.
This season’s senior island programme consists of a proposed three-team tournament at Easter, the Cimandis Muratti Vase and the NatWest Island Games in Aland.

The only person that should be the Island Boss is Steve Ogier.
Now that the ridiculous idea of Guernsey United seems to be out of the news, and hopefully it will not ever come back, I think that the GFA should speak with Steve.
Actions and words in the heat of something so prospectively damaging to local football, as the Guernsey United fiasco is, I think that everyone should stop to reflect, consider everyones point of view, think about what is happening right here and now and reappoint Steve and his team to take our Island football forwards.
In return Steve should clearly withdraw his name from the Guernsey United consortium and make it clear to all of the players and supporters of Guernsey football that he will remain loyal to them and the GFA.
