Hello and welcome to this installment of Faversham Strike Force News. This will be an update of the season so far.
With manager Gary Axford deciding to focus on the boardroom aspect of the club. The Force began the campaign with a hunt for a new manager to fill such inspirational shoes. With an abundance of interest, the process was a long and arduous one. Fans were eager to have a new man in charge as soon as possible and after many interviews and much deliberation, the board opted to bring in a newcomer to the management world.
Lee Michael has come from a coaching background, having coached at youth, academy and professional levels around the South of England, he has been given the chance to prove himself in this unforgiving world.
The season starts with a frightening friendly against MK Dons, which served to bring in a little extra funding for the club.
Followed by a home game against Erith. No real signings made, as Lee seems to want to give the current crop a chance to settle.
We managed to catch up to Lee to see how he felt about this step into management.
"I am delighted to have been chosen by Gary. He set this club up back in 1999 and has done a wonderful job. He has created a strong family unit here. Why would I want to barge in and dismantle that? The club is already set up to succeed, I will ensure that we do exactly that."
Clearly, Lee is a fan of The Force, being a local lad he has a real soft spot for them.
With the season well underway, I will begin with month to month updates. Being new to this, hopefully, I can interest at least a few people.
Updates will become more frequent and in depth as we progress.
Feel free to comment and request anything you would like to see. I hope you enjoy the journey we will go on together.
The Force, The Family, The Future.
