Don’t get me wrong. Chris Tanner was ultimately to blame. But these 2 were at the forefront of Durham on this side of the world for a period and I believe oversaw a pretty horrific managerial record. In what capacity, committee men, volunteers? First team coaches, managers, committee and financing - and players….good players coming with them.

Obviously the team isn’t great, manager and chairman love in is for their own benefit and ego, not for the club, they’ll destroy whats left of it. Plus, the old manager still berating the club via social media and using the clubs old insta account for his own means to slag them off. Like a dodgy soap opera this, really sad, really childish from everyone involved

Welcome to the Wearside league 2024 If they go down they'll fold, hearing they have weekly meetings about things at the club. They appear doomed

Wearside League is always used as a derogatory term! Its obviously not the standard of the NL although I would say a couple of the teams at the top of the Wearside are probably above Brandon/Washington standard. The best barometer is Esh Winning who beat Gateshead Leam Rangers the other week. Having said that paying £3 for Wearside is probably better value than £6/7 NL2 teams!

Lately the NL clubs that have fallen through the trapdoor, haven’t actually faired well in the WL. If you look around the country, quite a few clubs bounce straight back up from their feeder league’s. So does this suggest that the WL is better than the average feeder league or are the so called deadwood worse in the NL?

The Northern Alliance also has its fair share. Not many in the Alliance have the ambition to progress to the NL as the wearside league do. Why ? I don’t know .

I spoke with a couple of clubs in the Alliance last season and they told me that they are 2/3 seasons away from developing their grounds. They are the only ones currently close apart from Alnwick who will probably be promoted back up again at the end of the season. There’s a similar situation in the NRL, so we may see only WL clubs applying for promotion, unless some ex-NRL or ex-NA clubs are relegated and want to bounce back up

Even the juniors have walked away now from the club, all that are left are the hopeless new chairman and manager and a couple of other oddballs. Destined to fold I would even say before the end of the season. Pickering was clueless about the league and the new lot are just utter clueless about football full stop

Pickering started in - he still appears to be living off a win against Jarrow. and for somebody who claims not to be bothered by Brandon he spends a lot of time talking about them.
The new manager and chairman hardly have a great history of running clubs. Its got Durham part 2 written all over it

They have signed lads who were involved at Durham last year and got them relegated from wearside and lads who are not upto the level hence the results they are having. The club is a shambles. Not one person in that club now has had any success at any level of football both on and off the field

It’s the saddest of situations as if these idiots who are in charge of the club (behind the scenes) had any sense, they would have not invited the egotist chairman, who then invited his not up to the task mate as manager, who then invited players not up to the task of playing NL football, hence they’ve lost all their games and conceded an average of 7 goals a game since…. Wow. What could have been if they did things right after shifting Pickering. Criminal really. Club is finished. So much potential, wasted.

I honestly can't see the club lasting the entire season. The Socials have gone to Pot with someone clearly in charge of them posting the video calls etc for all to hear and see.
