Paul Holland and Andy Todd who took over as caretaker managers at Long Eaton United in early December have now been confirmed as our management duo going forwards.

Having taken over the side lying fourth from bottom in December, Dutch & Toddy have presided over a resurgence in form taking 30 points from the last 39 on offer seeing the team move up to 9th place and within touching distance of the Total Motion MFL Premier League's top 6.

Dutch, a former England U21 International and ex- manager of Mansfield Town will continue in partnership with Andy Todd a former professional who has played at Accrington Stanley, Mansfield Town, Hucknall Town and Eastwood amongst others.

One of their first tasks will be to recruit a further member of the management team to work alongside them with specific responsibility for overseeing our CFC/Reserve side which will be run in conjunction with the First team.

Paul Holland who will also continue in his role as Academy manager commented "Toddy and I are delighted to be taking the wheel at such an exciting time for the Club. As well as the excellent group of experienced players in the squad we have a significant number of exciting young players ready to progress from our Academy and CFC set up"

The Club is close to announcing the build dates for over £1million of further facilities investment at Grange Park over the summer which, alongside the significant improvements made over the last few years, will provide facilities second to non in the region.

Before then though we have the exciting prospect of welcoming League leaders Ilkeston Town and their supporters to Grange Park this Saturday - kick-off 3pm.....

Let's get as many down as possible to support Dutch, Toddy and the Boys !!!
