I know the size of the job says Foyle


In his interview for the Conference podcast (see earlier article), Hereford United manager Martin Foyle spoke about the season to date and the difficult task of managing the Bulls with a reduced budget.

"There's been a big turnaround of players but the biggest problem was being relegated out of the football league," said Foyle.

"There was a lot of gloom and doom around the place and it was important we got players smiling again.

"Four wins out of seven, I don't think I can complain really.

"I know the size of the job, we've got massive cutbacks to make this year and the club is probably more important than the team at the moment.

"The club financially was in a perilous position and we've got to make sure the club survives this year and hopefully then next year we might be in a better position to have a go at it."

The Bulls travel to promoted Hyde on Saturday.

"I'm always wary of playing promoted teams in the first ten games of the season. They are still on a high, they're still trying things.

"Yes they are bottom of the league but that means nothing. I've had three reports on them - they play excellent football - and I don't expect anything other than a hard game."

So what about the season given clubs with bigger budgets?

"We've just got to try and stay in that top ten and try and keep on the coat-tails of the big boys and see where it takes us.
