Naik to make decision on future

We Hate Ben boss James Naik has announced that he will make a decision on his future after the final league game against FC Phoenix. Naik began his career with the SoccerJoos way back in 2006, but has had to face speculation and criticism all season since being asked to return after the resignation of Alex MacDonald, a player Naik signed in his previous tenure.

Twenty-three year-old Naik is believed to want to take a break from management to resume his playing career, having only made one appearance since a serious knee injury sustained whilst a player at WHB in 2007. Naik will recommend a successor to club chairman Lee Pemberton, the clubs original manager during the 2006/07 season.

Rumours are currently circulating that he will again choose a member of the playing staff to take control, with the favourite being twenty year-old defender Matt L'argent, after Naik himself suggested that L'argent was showing the mental capabilities to become a good manager.
