Ha how are people suggesting John White? He's on a temporary deal! Not the sort of inspiration you need for a captain.
I suggested Jake McCarthy a week or so ago, would be an interesting signing.
Failing that, like a few others, I cant see anyone really stepping up. Harry Lennon is a possibility, but question marks over his ability to stay fit. Defo dont want Oxley (dont like keepers as captains) or Demi (again, fitness question marks).
I just hope we can sign someone (ANYONE! Lol) as a captain. Just remember back to Phil Brown when he said you want your first signing to be a statement when he signed White. Hopefully MM can do Something siimilar.
Jake McCarthy signed a new deal with Weymouth yesterday.
When you say deal, its a one year deal for the coming season. Who would begrudge Weymouth a small transfer fee for one of their players, similar to when we grabbed Brandon Goodship.Jake McCarthy signed a new deal with Weymouth yesterday.
Part time deal? I'm sure if MM wanted him, it would happen somehow.

Don’t know details but I’m sure if MM wanted him this season then the contract extension wouldn’t have happened somehow.
I think the emphasis will be on adding some experience and that’s certainly what Ron suggested before the appointment. The feeling is we’ve got some good young players who need some experience alongside them - and a 23 year old non-league player doesn’t fit that.
Ron.
And I think we took Goodship on a free as he was over 24 and out of contract. The only thing I would say about McCarthy is that if we signed him next summer we then wouldn’t owe Weymouth anything.
Another frequenter of the pub is one John Crabbe (played for Gillingham in the late 70s early 80s as well as other clubs) but thats completely off topic
Oh dear John, who did your hair, The Council? I might have to change my mind about you as captain.

Just goes to show that even in the latter stages of your career you can add a little flair. I also expect to see JW playing in white Lotto boots this season.Oh dear John, who did your hair, The Council? I might have to change my mind about you as captain.

Maybe JW but given 6 month contract i am going to say Harry Lennon or Demi if HL isnt fit for the start of the season.
Never said it was a joke. If he is fit he does have all the credentials to be a captain. What’s happened in the past is exactly that the past and as MM said everyone has a clean slate. I am looking at the current squad and there are not many standouts in ther eon contracts till the end of the season.Harry Lennon, is this some sort of sick joke? Plus he'd have to be able to play for than 1 game before getting injured to be captain.

There seems to be too many question marks around most of the existing squad. Hopefully MM has someone lined up who will be our new Kevin Maher.
