That’s untrue. There has been a change in direction. An American called Corey invested in the club and four of the young owners bowed out because they did not have cash to put in. Scanella and Tucker remain. The club is now linked with Corey’s academy in Florida named WH America Bulls! The idea is presumably for this academy to provide players for W&H.

It seems probable that Corey interfered on then playing side and Scott did not like that. Scott’s deputy Billy Rowley is now the manager.

The players who are coming to Ks are the core of the side which won promotion from step four. Some of them struggled at sue three, some of them did well. W&H finished seventh.

Tellingly W&H took only 30 points off Harris’s last 25 games and it became more of a struggle. Simon was often a substitute.W&H conceded too many goals with Hicks and Gough at centre back

W&H face a big rebuild now and there is a lot of unhappiness at the involvement of the American investor, his apparent influence, about Scott leaving and the departure of players who were heroes of the promotion years. There is of course concern for the future but the club is in a good position - if it can sign enough players to compete at step three for a second season.

Ks are getting a very good experienced manager and the main members of his successful team. These people all want to play with each other, they are all good friends and I think that is the most important factor. They are not mercenaries.
