In the past few weeks, Soccersouth general manager Wilson James, director of football Johan Koutstaal and Soccersouth chairman Bevan Rickerby have resigned.
James has agreed to continue in the role until a new general manager is appointed.
He will then work part-time in a financial role.
Rickerby has also offered to continue temporarily and help in the recruitment of the new Soccersouth general manager.
New chairman Aaron Joy will also be involved in selection, as will board members Dougal McGowan, Matt Scoles, Mike Clark, Matthew Holdridge and Jill Muirhead.
There are some SPL matches today which are sure to affect placings on the points table.
Only three points separate the top five teams.
The only 12.45pm match is at Sunnyvale, where Green Island faces defending champion Caversham.
Sitting in third place, coach Steve Fleming's team may not have the impregnable look of traditional Caversham sides but still had the firepower to shoot eight goals past Invercargill Old Boys in the Chatham Cup last week.
Kevin Scoullar's Green Island is a hard-working, homegrown team that battles to the final whistle.
It is also blessed with two top strikers, Ryan Atherton and Rowan Hewson, whose pace and finishing have already damaged reputations this season.
Mosgiel looked to have found its missing jigsaw piece in centreback Colin Falvey but an appendicitis operation has sidelined the Irishman, who will watch as the Plainsmen take on Dunedin Technical at 2.45pm at Memorial Park.
Technical rattles in goals each week but its defeat to Roslyn-Wakari has punctured any aura of invincibility.
Whoever scores the first goal will gain a psychological edge in this match.
At the Caledonian Ground, University plays Roslyn, and while the students have only won one SPL game in seven, player-coach Terry Boylan's side can experience swings in performance, and with both sides missing players because of university exams, form could fly out the window.
Northern hosts Grants Braes at the Gardens and, after winning a penalty shoot-out last week, another home game on the potato patch should mean a win for the Magpies.
The Milk Cup players will soon be travelling the world but today Queenstown is far enough for the Otago Youth side, which fancied its chances until star defender James Watson damaged his shoulder midweek.
