NON Mark Molesley

I'd completely missed that he'd taken over at H&Y. With Gosport 2nd in the League I thought he was doing all right!

Biggest mistake he made was leaving Weymouth when he did, to take up a position at a club that everybody knew was a basket case at that particular time.

Can you really blame him though? Part-time sides are on a hiding to nothing in the Conference as there are normally like 18-20 full time sides in it these days. Occasionally one of them makes the play-offs like Braintree did about 10 years ago, but they are largely just fighting for survival. Plus Southend had just come down from League 1 and weren't exactly relegation favourites.
