Julio Arca, ex Sunderland player is the new manager. If I recall correctly he retired from the pro game following a very good career at both Sunderland and Middlesbrough and got a retirement insurance pay off. He really missed playing and restarted with a local pub team before joining step 6 Shields. He helped them get promoted twice, but I believe that if had carried on at step 4 then he would have had to repay the insurance company and so retired again. In my idealistic eyes he's one of the good guys (I did see him play for Shields at step 5 and he was class even with reduced mobility) and I wish him well Now Arca and his assistant have been sacked. It seems that 8th in Connie North (at present) after rapid promotions from step 5 just isn't good enough Sometimes, just sometimes, I get the feeling that many football owners live on a different planet to the rest of us.
