Fortune Favors The Bold

[Michael Smith @LifeWorkPassion]

We are entering a new chapter of modernizing Carrick Rangers. To build upon our top-flight success and support our commercial and infrastructure goals, we need a leadership structure that can scale.

With Jody and Kel managing the Club, providing oversight for football operations, and ensuring board stability, and Peter stepping down to focus on funding, ground development, and macro-level strategic growth overseas, combined with Stephen Baxter & Fiona Mooney at the helm of our men's & women's programs, we have the perfect blend of football expertise and business acumen to elevate this club to the next level.

This move also allows our tremendous Board to further deepen its commitment & impact in the local community.

Carrick Rangers belongs to the people of Carrickfergus, plain and simple. Every bit of progress we make on the pitch or in our infrastructure is driven by a desire to give this community a football club it truly deserves. Ultimatley, the heart of this club isn't just the board or the players... it’s the families in the stands, our incredible volunteers, and the local businesses that stand by us week in and week out. As we step into this next chapter, our commitment to this town is stronger than ever. We are building a sustainable future not just for today's supporters, but for the next generation of young people growing up in Carrickfergus, ensuring they have a local club they can rally behind and be proud of for years to come.

I cannot pretend to have an unbiased opinion given that Carrick has finished 7th in two out of the last three seasons; however, the current format was one of the things that attracted me to the league in the first place. It creates a scenario where virtually all 12 teams are fighting for something until the very end. I don't love the League Cup winner gaining an automatic bye to the final, but check back with me next year... I may change my mind if Carrick wins it. ;-)

@KickingMatch Truth is, this will get mixed reactions. I am not going to pretend to know all the history around it either but the fact is it is silverware and, most importantly, represents a place in Europe. We all want to win whatever is set in front of us otherwise why would we be here.

@KickingMatch Not gonna lie, I want it.
