Gheddafi, who has made his fortune from property development, told BBC Sport: "I like to have a challenge and looked at Preston as a club where you can add a lot and make them into one of the top four clubs." Are aim this year is to win the Championship and find a New Young Manager to guide us there what isnt hard in a country like England. But are long term Targets is for 4 years to be in the champions League and one of the biggest Brands in Football to attract World Class Stars and Upcoming Youngsters from all over the World.
Gheddafis Ownership began with the sacking of manager Alan Irvine after a meeting with the new owner Irvine didnt make a good impression on the new board so his contract was terminated several hours later.
News From Deepdale is that the chairman has signed former chelsea defender Scott Minto as manager of Preston.
Preston North End Confirm Scott Minto as new manager of Preston North End and will start work on Monday. " Im so happy to be at a club with very High ambitions and i think im up to the job" At the conference the reports were pretty confused on why scott minto hes had no previous managerial experience just coaching. But Minto isnt worried about his CV hes just focusing on how to lead Preston to glory.
