Dover boss keen to rebuild

AFTER the disappointment of a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Woking in the second leg of the play-off semi finals, manager, Andy Hessenthaler, has revealed his plans to rebuild the squad for next season.

The former Gills boss has admitted his intent on claiming the league title next year, but plenty of change will be needed in all departments.

He said: “When I came here three years ago I said that my aim was to get this club back to where it belongs, the Conference Premier, and if I don’t achieve that then I haven’t done my job.

“I’m disappointed that we’ve lost in the play-offs but now we have got to try to win the league next season.

“I believe that will happen and I will be in charge when that does happen.”

The Whites had an impressive season at Crabble, finishing joint second in the Blue Square South League, but they were nearly 30 points adrift of champions, Newport County, who accumulated a massive 103.
