Yes Red a few poor decisions in 2019. A WPL program ran its own show, racked up $20k in debt, mostly to pay the players including 2 strikers who scored 70 odd goals (which is why they won the comp). When the NL1 part of the club bailed them out of $20k hole the Committee merged. The tap was turned off. Then the Coach left to follow his coaching pathway, a new Coach came in and their 2 most Senior players left because they could see the likelihood of no success with the 70 goals gone and they didn't like the Coach. When they left and headed to Olympic, the rest turned on the Coach and demanded a change. His results caused his unfortunate demise and when he left, the old Coach on the pathway found his way back to WPL and he started courting players from the Club that gave him a shot. The players who did the business on the Coach then abruptly left, and the Club started over vowing never to make the same mistakes in a division where adopted WPL teams "represent" their new NPL family. I don't see many Clubs as well run, the Sports Club will be a major reason behind their future success as they have numbers on the Board. They are the next in line for an NPL shot behind Cooks Hill to be fair and their Youth teams and all Senior grades are already showing in trials that they match average NPL clubs already. Not sure why you like to throw mud from afar at New Lambton, nor why you claim to have any idea about what goes on there. You obviously have an axe to grind but zero connection and zero involvement.
