WEYMOUTH manager Jerry Gill hopes the club’s proposed Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is accepted by creditors so that 120 years of history at the Wessex Stadium is not completely erased.

The club boss also hopes that a bid to deal with the situation once and for all will finally result in some stability, particularly with the playing budget, which is to be slashed again in the coming weeks.

He said: “If this CVA gets approved, long term it could be a good thing because I can get given my budget at the start of next season and get the team in I want to get.

“Something needed to be decided and at last it has been. People will hopefully understand what I’ve been working with, or without, over the last three or four weeks.”

He added: “Over the next week or so the budget is to be slashed even more. Unfortunately there are going to be costs cut along the way between now and the end of the season.

“Players are going to be asked to take cuts and it’s up to them if they want to come in and play for the club.”

n New signing Stephen Walker is to go straight into Weymouth Reserves’ squad for their Dorset Premier League clash away to Sturminster Marshall tomorrow (3pm).

Walker, brother of Dorchester Town defender Nathan, has switched from Milborne Sports and will be joined in the ranks by John Lamb.
