Firstly, a big thank you to bettysboy for all his help, his drive and commitment has been much appreciated.

If anyone fancies a go at settling, just shout out. It is fairly simple, you will get as much help and support for as long as you need it. Maybe give it a go on a trial basis and see how you go for a couple of weeks? No commitment either way.

It`s a great comp and keeping the show on the road is paramount.

LaughLaugh Shane, I am off to Bournemouth tomorrow morning and come back on Monday. If you still haven't found anyone by then, I will take over for the rest of April and see where we go from there. I suppose I just see what you are able to achieve in the Prem getting the tables up so quickly and consistently which is a little bit daunting as I work late some nights. Anyway, I don't want to see division one go unloved so I will have a look on Monday and see where we are.

I`ve mentioned this before, but if someone would like to just take it on for a month or two and see how it goes, no commitment. We really must protect what we have and move forward. I know not everyone has the time or PC skills, but I can honestly say it`s straight forward enough when shown.

I offered to cover settling Division 1 for a few days until someone stepped in on a permanent basis. I'm happy to that whenever needed for holidays, sickness etc.

But this thread has now been up since the end of March and no-one has volunteered to take over. It seems that everyone is quite happy to let me carry on indefinitely. That's not going to happen! As Shane wrote on May 3, time is running out. Well it's run out.

If no-one volunteers to take over within the next few days then Division 1 will cease to be.
