South Shields will be playing in the National North League next season.
And, like Hereford, they will have an untried manager at the helm after Kevin Phillips quit.
Julio Arca is a former Shields player. He helped the club win three promotions during his time with them.
Chairman Geoff Thompson has spoken to the Shields Gazette about his new manager and also the budget he will have.
"When the news was announced about Kevin going, I was absolute inundated with applications and expressions of interest and I went on record thanking all of those individuals.
"I think it was just timing, I’d kept in touch with Julio, he’d seen a few games here, we’d spoken about a role in the academy, so there were already discussions so when Kevin and I decided to part company, he was the natural first-choice.
"Obviously I knew him as a player and what a real talisman he was for us then. Then and now, he has a real level of professionalism, he’s very thorough in how he conducts himself and how he behaves, he’s a real perfectionist and again, as with Kevin, he hasn’t had managerial experience yet but we are going to support him with somebody who has."
Thompson then spoke about the football budget.
"We have a sensible budget available, which has been agreed with Julio, and there is money available to bring in new talent and clearly there will be some of that during the close-season.
"There are big clubs in the National League North, a lot of big clubs with bigger budgets so yes, we have that ambition and desire to succeed. There will be no lack of effort, there is a sensible level of financial resource. We won’t have the biggest budget, but that doesn’t mean we won’t give it our best shot next season."
