[Spaceman Spiff]

not true was offered a contract was close to signing then mm retracted it when he came in

Is that genuinely true?? That’s appalling if true.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Simple then Phil, sign that lot!!

Interesting to see Jeff King in there. Must be around 25 stone and at least early 60s by now. Was a legend at Canvey. Would be surprised if PB, god bless him, hasn't been on the blower, sometimes you need a bit of graft on the flanks

But 4 of them are over 27, so how can that be possible, as you turn rubbish after that age!!

I believe he was offered a contract but chose Maidstone instead.

It turns out he made absolutely the right choice for him personally and i'm pleased for him. He was one of the many long term injuries CP suffered. At the time I was told he had snapped almost everything you can in a knee so highly unlikely to ever play again.

Not true. It was Maidenhead

Interesting to see Sam Barratt in the mix…

Also interesting that no club has more than 1 player in there. Shows how there are quality players across the league.

Joe McDonnell was someone I was hoping we'd target but think he signed a new contract this summer.

Simply not true

Lots of people mentioning the one player from each club on Twitter and querying why certain other players were not in there instead. In truth there are probably dozens of candidates for this team but of course only 11 places.

No it doesn't.

Is that genuinely true?? That’s appalling if true.

It cant be true because there was no manger before MM and he was not an academy player. Who was he close to signing for?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

It certainly can be true as there have been umpteen instances of Ron offering contracts outside of having a manager in place (often supposedly on the advice of the coaching staff in place whether or not they are listed as first team coaches).

That doesn’t mean this is true, but it could be. On this occasion I think it’s a wind up, but it’s not true to say it couldn’t possibly be true just because there was a gap between Sol leaving and MM signing his contract.

That's starting the youth team early. I hear that's how Jesus came through the ranks.

Barratt was a casualty of the embargo. Nothing else. We had to make space and he was the unlucky party.

I have to feel that he was the lucky one on this one.

You're probably right but with hindsight you do wonder make space for what ? someone worse ? It looks a misjudgement by someone or he preferred the idea of playing for Alan Devonshire.

Shaun Hobson.

The fault lies with Ron.
