FORMER island manager Alan Le Prevost (pictured) has advice for the people behind Guernsey United: ‘Don’t waste your time.’

And he doubts whether Guernsey would be good enough to play at such an elevated stage. Le Prevost says he has split views on the Guernsey United project, still awaiting the go ahead from the Guernsey Football Association.

In terms of Muratti results he was one of the most successful island bosses of the modern era and while his former deputy, Laurie Carre, was nothing other than scathing of the Guernsey United team setting up and going onto the UK league pyramid, Le Prevost can see some merits in it.

‘I can see the fors and the againsts on both sides,’ said the man who also managed North and Sylvans.

‘From a club and coach’s point of view I would be selfish and be against it. Say, for example, I was manager of Sylvans and had the team I had at that time, Guernsey United would be after all my team. Therefore I would expect Sylvans and certainly myself to be totally opposed to the scheme.’
