Good Luck to Chidley as he has devoted a lot of his time to Otago United as well as to the Dunedin Technical Club at the same time. I have always found him to be supportive and flexible for players. There were always rival grudges/moanings from non-Dunedin Technical supporters over the years most are really heresay trash. I think that he has done as well as can be in his role as Otago United's General Manager.
Otago has to be the hardest region to fund raising out of all the NZFC. It's that Scottish mentality. Jobs, businesses and opportunities are always in survival mode with the lack of financial wealth spread. Running things on an oil rag really. The fact that Chidley has done this for 5 years is due to his club experience. Most people would end up moving on after 3 years.
Make no bones about it. The next person to takeover has to very time-devoted to the cause.
