Paul Moore took over as manager after the resignation of Adam Lakeland mid season on 2016/2017. With off-field developments overshadowing the hard work of players and management, the new-look team struggled at the lower end of the table for much of the season and Paul certainly had his work cut out from the start. Sadly, the writing was on the wall for Vics and despite some last-gasp heroics and potential lifelines at the end of the season, the announcement came that the Club was to enter administration yet again (along with the inevitable 10-point deduction) and relegation to Step 5 was confirmed.
