Croydon Athletic appear to be heading for a difficult time.
The club - 'the Rams' - had already found themselves the centre of unwelcome attention because of the allegations levelled against their owner, Mazhar Majeed, detailed in an earlier post. This week Martin Eede, the man who was to become their CEO in a few days' time, announced that he was no longer interested in the job. On Saturday the Rams lost 1-3 at home to Concord Rangers; immediately after the match their manager Tim O'Shea and his assistant Neil Smith announced their departure from the club, according to an announcement on the club website .
With the FA Cup 1st qualifying round due next week, it seems to me to be very likely that players won't want to stay at the club for long, and I expect several to leave in the next few days. Today, it seems, was a last hurrah for many of them.
Betting community has piled in on Tooting and Mitcham, who host Croydon on Tuesday; currently Tooting on offer at 1/3, having shortened earlier to 4/6 from I don't know what.
