On a cold summers day in the north east of England, Rich Reay settled down at his desk. Contemplating his days as a player, he'd finally taken the first steps to becoming a manager. "Manager of Gateshead, who would have thought it" he muttered to himself.
After years of mid-table finishes, the club needed to move forward, and Rich knew that this season would be hard with Fleetwood, Ebbsfleet and Cambridge all pushing for promotion. But Rich knew that with some luck, and a couple of good loan players from Newcastle, he could write a new history for the club.
After a long phone call with Alan Pardew, Rich smiled in the knowledge that Ole Soderberg (GK), Paul Dummett (DL) and Phil Airey (ST) would be arriving in the morning.
Tomorrow, the real work begins.......
