Rolls warns Weymouth players to
shape up or ship out

GEORGE Rolls has told Weymouth’s under-performing players
to shape up or ship out.
The Cambridge-based businessman, who is set to return to
the club as chairman, made the stinging attack following yesterday’s
4-0 defeat at Evesham United.
Despite not having attended the game, Rolls told Echosport:
“By all accounts it was another poor display and it was
just not good enough. We are paying good money to a lot of
them and they are not performing.
“They are letting themselves down and the club down,
and it appears some of them are just turning up to collect
their wages each week. They are embarrassing the club at this
moment in time.”
He went on to add: “Some of them have been acting like
big-time Charlies in the dressing room of late but the fact
we have now suffered defeats and let in a total of 10 goals
at Hitchin Town, Arlesey Town and Evesham is totally unacceptable.
“We have a top-six budget in the league and we expect
a lot better so it’s a case of shape up or ship out.
“Clubs talk and at the moment we are paying out more
than Dorchester Town.
“When you think of it like that, and look at the dross
we have served up recently, something has to change and quick.”
The Terras now sit just five points above the drop-zone in
the Evo-Stik Southern Premier but they do hold games in hand
on the majority of the teams below them.
