Hi Dan, it doesn't matter if Bosah stays or goes, even if he's clearly not up to the job, and the players are not even up to the standard required at this pathetic level of Football. Bosah has been used by guess who, to rationalise the financial structure of the first team. 

What idiot or bone head would sign up to becoming the manager of this shamble of a football hub which has failed beyond belief when the football team was handed over on a silver platter to the new owner without any caveats for the football team!. What a Bunch of Morons, and they were warned what would happen, until there is a new structure the "Status Quo" will not change.  How could it have come to this sad end?

RIP Tooting and Mitcham United Football Club!

Since 2005:  Quote “The challenge is to make Tooting & Mitcham United FC the best semi-professional club in the land, one built on sound foundations of good practice in all matters!! (You can’t make this up lol)

Stefan - You are absolutely right. Ashley is literally like a cardboard cutout hiding in the dugout. There doesn't seem to be a plan A let alone a B or C when things aren't working.

Think of someone like Hadyn Bird. Yelling, screaming and encouraging non-stop. Up and down the touchline and showing proper passion.

Do I think he's the best manager ever? Of course not. Would I have him at TMUFC? In a heartbeat.

Hi all
As you probably know, until I saw the light and moved away from the dregs of Croydon to the country (one of the best things we've ever done) I was a Director of T&MUFC Members Ltd aka "the Members Club" and obviously considered to be a part of the club's establishment. I attended many "board" meetings and was always frustrated by the attitude of certain other persons involved in these meetings, the hype and enthusiasm for the way the club was being run being one particular bugbear of mine.

Don't get me wrong but I was originally honoured to be asked to serve the "Members" and the football club in general but towards the end I was pleased to be able to walk away. I thoroughly enjoyed being the programme editor for 5 years or so and also had good times working with Ian Bullock (a really great, knowledgeable nice man) on producing 2 great books (both of which sold out and injected some good money into the "Members" funds), and for a couple of years I also assisted Keith Kelly in a small way with the Boardroom hospitality, Keith being the ultimate unsung hero of the backroom volunteers.

However, now domiciled from afar and being aware of what went on to a certain degree behind the scenes I can only concurr with those of you that can see where the football club is headed i.e. down the toilet and round the U bend !!

Ashley is a really nice bloke, as was Cornelius before him, but the time has now come for a radical shake up of the whole organisation from the top down.

Far too much emphasis is put upon "the Members Club" to constantly raise funds to keeper the football club's budget at the already meagre level it's currently at. This obviously makes one think that the owner just can't be bothered to divert any more funds from the other money making enterprises within the whole "sports & leisure" empire into the football club. Basically it obviously doesn't matter anymore and unless "the Members" can raise the cash the club will fail and guess who'll be to blame 🤷? Yep, "the Members" and you lot, the day to day fans who obviously can't be arsed to support the club by giving the owner lots of cash donations from your pockets, supporting any money making exercises and events that "the Members" put on and generally coming in through the gate on a Saturday afternoon to watch the dross that's currently being served up.

The owner and "the Members" need to get real, smell the coffee and see where the current system and management of it are going.

Change NOW or all is doomed !!

Right, I'm off to watch a properly run non-league club that's risen from the depths of bankruptcy and despair, (somewhat like Tooting will be soon), to be near the top of their division and playing great football with a properly structured team and management.

Take note T&MU !!@

DeePee your excellent answer should be on a separate  thread with its own heading.
