Caldwell will '˜stand or fall' by next season, not this one

Director Ashley Carson posted on Facebook in response to criticism of the mananger, saying: “Had a meeting with the owner and he is wanting GC to build his own team and stand or fall by next season.”
Carson also suggested that sacking another manager wasn’t an option for the cash-strapped club.
“We are still paying the last manager off and his assistant on a monthly basis. To add another one to the monthly outgoings is simply mad,” he said.
Caldwell’s rebuild will be assisted by a new head of recruitment.
The club aim to appoint one by the end of the weekend.
