Crisp Management!

United have appointed their new manager, Roy Walker is the latest 'magician', who has been given the task of awakening the so called 'sleeping giant', that is United. Roy's first task was to appoint Scot's man Billy Sinclair as his first team coach, replacing Jeff Montgomery, who along with reserve team manager, David Dorian, has joined the 'Marty Quinn' revival mission at Clandeboye Park. His next task will, in our opinion, be a 'wee' bit harder, namely turning the 'under-achieving' Sky Blues into a challenging team. Surely it won't take someone as shrewd as the ex-Crues supremo long to realise that United are carrying far too much 'dead wood'. Garth Scates, Mark Picking and Stuarty King are three who are well past their 'sell by date'. While fullbacks McClean and Wray are still a long way behind Boydie and Carlisle, two legendary United fullbacks of the modern era. That's almost half of the United regular squad on match days and just shows the monumental task facing our new manager. The new season is just 9 short weeks away and rumours are rife that United may lose at least 2 of the better players in their present squad, so manager Walker needs to get on the ball almost immediately. Roy stated that he had to ask God's guidance before taking over the United manager's job, we assume he has received 'divine' assurance so hopefully he will now press on with the job. Only time will tell if Walker is the 'messiah' who will lead us to victory over the infidel (Coleraine, Linfield and Cliftonville, to name but three), hopefully he is and we can then 'prey' on our rivals this incoming season!
