Neil Redfearn

Named manager of Farsley Celtic

 

Read here as to why this is such a surprising piece of news. They're a basket case club at the moment, but this is a positive step for them.

Crazy move, the owner is a right **** currently playing at Buxton with no fans as they've boycotted going, staff and players not paid on time, pitch dug up and sold, the guy is an absolute wrong en.
Crackers decsion from redders.

I follow the lad Ellis Platten who runs the away days channel on YouTube go check out his video/take on the situation

 

Good luck Neil you're going to need it

 

He will be fine. He's had a fair few managerial pay offs in his time. He's had more clubs than Eldrick my all time favourite.

 

Farsley haven't paid their part-time bar staff in almost a year, so I doubt the prospect of another pay-off is high on his list of reasons for taking it on.

 

They also set up fake teams in Veterans and JPL to secure academy status. First game of the season and they had no players registered and were withdrawn from the league, but the status stayed. My Vets team were due to play them.

 

Getting hammered 0-4 by Scarborough atm.

 

0-5.

 

Let's just hope they can move back sooner rather than later. For the fans sake. They've groundshared closer to home apparantly till the artificial pitch issues are resolved. I can only think rent is an issue.

 

Just 5 mins from me. I'll go give him some support

 

It's not a rent issue. They were sharing with Bradford Park Avenue initially, but the football authorities insisted that Farsley's fixtures had to take priority over BPA's as they were in a higher division, which obviously was something that the host club couldn't agree to.

 

I was talking to a chap in Filey this morning who's a Scarborough supporter. Farsley are playing their home games at Buxton. Bit of a trek if you're a home supporter.

 

Stepped down as Farsley Celtic boss after 24 days.

 

I read this about 4 times until I realised it never said Vietnam.

 

Wish we could have him in the side at his peak again,never failed to give his all. A good honest player.

 

Splitting hairs but appointed 17th Jan, says 17th Jan in Argus too, this thread created 17th too mate

*edit looks like its taken the club 4 days to announce it so, yep 20 days my bad, what a mess they are in.

Definitely his best years with us, and by some distance. Averaged 1 goal in 4 from midfield and according to WIKI, played the 6th most career games in history.

 

It was said at the time that if we'd stayed up he would have won the Premier League Player of The Season.
