Munnery in administration warning to Blues

RINGMER manager Bob Munnery says he is delighted with how his debut season in first team management has gone despite all the club's off-field problems, but warned he would consider his future if the club was still in administration next term.
Ringmer were the surprise package in county league division one at the beginning of the season, winning seven of their first eight games, including a 14-1 demolition of Worthing, to lead the pack going into November.

But a row over the ownership oADVERTISEMENTf their Caburn ground between the trustees and directors led them into administration and saw 10-points docked from the club.
Despite the setback, Munnery and assistant Steve Oliver, who stepped up from reserve team management at the beginning of the season, have guided a young side to virtual safety.
Munnery is happy to have comfortably met the season's 'brief' of survival, but not so impressed with continuing off the field problems."I have to say I was disgusted with the conduct within the club to allow the situation to unravel which has affected the players, coaches and managers," Munnery said.
"Having said that, we have survived the 10 points, we are 15th in the league and one more win will probably make us safe.
"I see it as a successful season considering we have had no budget and brought an awful lot of young players through, and at the beginning of the season I was given the brief to survive."
Young players such as Will Broomfield, Aaron Hasan, Matt Percival and Kieran Patel have stepped up to the plate and more than held their own to give Munnery reason for optimism for next season, should the club get things right off the field.
"We (he and Oliver) have really enjoyed the season and are looking forward to next season," he said.
"Hopefully Ringmer Football Club will get themselves out of administration.
"If they do not come out of administration we will have to weigh up where we are next term."
Munnery is targeting three points against a rejuvenated Worthing United at home on Saturday, and the club then have a difficult home match with Eastbourne on Tuesday before hosting Lingfield on Easter Saturday.
