Beadle's Got The Drive Says Watson


Peter Beadle Talking to BT Sport At Aldershot In April 2014
Hereford FC football secretary Martin Watson has spoken to BBC Hereford and Worcester about the appointment of Peter Beadle as manager of the new club.

"Beadle alongside Matt Bishop as coach provided the best team," said Watson,

"They put forward the best case, they were prepared to work within our parametres and more importantly Peter Beadle feels it is a job unfinished.

"He's got the drive, the ambition, the passion for the fans, he's got the fans backing.

"We had the Steve Guinan charity game about four weeks ago and everybody who came up to me and expressed a preference wanted Peter Beadle to be manager.

"That helped in our final decision but it wasn't the only factor. Matt Bishop is a fantastic coach, very well respected. They make a very good team.

"Beadle has already started to put together a squad.

"I've put together the start of the pre-season campaign, he's going to complete the job.

"He's going to talk to players who have already contacted the club about trials, he's already talking to people about playing next season.

"He's hit the road running."

Watson was asked if appointing Beadle 'was going with sentiment'?

"Not at all, not at all. 

"We had managers on the list that had very good records but ultimately they were just not right for us.

"About 62 people applied for the job.

"We've taken seven weeks to decide, we haven't rushed this job at all, we haven't gone from the outset, you're it.

"Beadle wanted the job, he expressed his desire for the job, he proved to us he could do the job and he brought a coach with him that also has proved he can do the job.

"This isn't one man we are picking up, it's two, it's a team.

"And that's what we are about at the moment.

"It's a team on the pitch, it's a team off the pitch, a team of supporters, a team of volunteers to get the ground ready and a team in the boardroom that hopefully don't mess these decisions up."
