Preston: Lippitt's Influence Is Invaluable

Dan Preston is a man on a mission to move up in leagues. The former Telford man has spoke how he used to see his new manager watching him play as a fan of Telford.
Jason is one of the good guys of football, I have great respect for someone who wants to work very hard to achieve what is expected of him. When I met him to discuss moving from Telford, well first I was shocked that Telford wanted to sell me but most of all Leamington are a team with a lot of history and within five minutes of chatting with Lippitt, I new this was a place I wanted to play.

You have to hand it to Lippitt because he was bought in on a whim by Leamington after Paul Holloran quit for personal reasons and the Leamington fans were a bit worried that a Leamington born and bred manager who supports Telford was bought in. He has started the season amazingly well though, but pundits think that the club who were rated as 50/1 outsiders to win the title will plummet down the table but Dan Preston does not agree with that.

We are aiming for automatic promotion! I would not have left Telford for Leamington if they were looking for a relegation dogfight!

We think Leamington will be challenging at the end of the season.
