Make or break month for Tics
Wednesday 3rd June 2009, 2:30PM BST.
AN UNPRECENTED amount of player movement is expected during this month’s GFA transfer window.
Throughout June, senior players can sign for any club they wish and the window is expected to busier than usual with controversial new Division One club Guernsey Athletics looking for players and newly-appointed coaches Mac Gallienne at Rovers and Ian Champion at Bels also expected to be on the hunt.
But the one coach who will have to have a busier month than anyone else is Steve Ogier.
The former island boss (pictured) is in charge of Tics and at present they have no playing members.
They are looking to bring over three players from the England Universities football system.
They have three ‘standby’ players lined up in Ogier’s assistant coach Kevin Graham, Tom Duff and Ian Potter, but they are planning to have a squad of 18.
Tics held a presentation for local footballers and anybody else interested at Cobo Bay Hotel on Sunday night to explain what the club is about.
Ogier confirmed that he had yet to receive any registration forms and he declined to reveal the names of players who he said were close to signing.
