Cliftonville FC manager Jim Magilton has hailed the good feeling around the club ahead of next Monday's crucial vote on the club's future. The Reds beat Crusaders 2-1 in the North Belfast derby on Friday night to get the new season off to a flyer, but the feelgood factor was not restricted to the field of play. Much of the bitter rancour and division that engulfed the club last year has dissipated after the four directors of Toronto Investment Group (TIG) made a personal presentation to members recently that was largely well received.

Magilton said after Friday night's game that it was good to have everyone pulling in the right direction this season. 'Yes, as opposed to last year', said the former Ipswich Town manager. 'Because, at any successful football club, there is a one team, one dream, one vision scenario. At this football club, momentum is so important, and the momentum is with us in terms of the potential investment, making the club stronger, stronger ties within the community, stronger ties with our supporters. And it gives me an opportunity, then, maybe to recruit players. There is a future here that you want to be a part of and the blank canvas starts with us. We're still very much in the market, you know. We need a centre forward, probably a couple. We haven't hid away from that. We're scouring everywhere to try and do that, but the best players aren't for sale. Simple as that. They're not easy to get. Listen, the hardest thing in this game is putting the ball in the net. And, finding goal scorers and finding a goal scorer is, you know, But, we'll keep doing what we're doing. We'll try and bring people in that add something to the group. You know, there's a good feeling in the group.' Not for the first time, Magilton has had to contend with player turnover this summer as ten players left and ten new faces arrived. Again, he seems to have adapted and recruited well as debutants Ben Quinn and Dean McMaster scored the goals that clinched victory over the Crues. The Reds manager says he would like to see more stability and continuity in terms of player retention to avoid having to shuffle the pack every summer. 'Listen, we'd like to get to a stage where we're seeing longer term contacts and players commit themselves to us. That may be coming down the line, or it may not be. We're a million miles from where we want to be, or the players want to be. We're far from the finished article. Players have arrived at different times but their appetite and their attitude to hard work is what's most appealing. There are lots of really good things to work with.
