I may be completely wrong, but I think he is one of those players that had to retire from professional football due to injury, and took the insurance pay out, and, therefore, will not be able to sign for a professional football club. Neil Tolson and Mike Marsh were to similar examples, as is Tony Roberts the Dagenham and Redbridge goalkeeper.

As I say I may have got this completely wrong with Boylan.

Shame to see this sort of thing happening again (Hornchurch anyone?) but the only silver lining to this cloud, is that the Supporters Trust will be taking over the running of the club and CIFC will be continuing to function.

I'm sure that our Shrimpers Trust would be able to do the same if this happened to us, and goes to show that fans united together can keep their club going.

I wish them well.

Dont think that is the case with Boylan. Not sure he is Championship standard though, but might be worth signing and then selling on!

Such a pity to see them go under. I can remember a few years ago, Canvey fans coming on here giving it the biggun' when we were 91st in the football league. Look where we are now ... and look where they are!! Hahahaha!

from the bbc:

Canvey agree to let Boylan leave

Canvey Island striker Lee Boylan has had a transfer requested accepted by the Conference club.

"Lee said he wants to play in the Football League and I understand that," Canvey boss Jeff King told BBC Sport.

Boylan has scored over 170 goals for Canvey since joining the club in 2001 and has netted 10 times this season, despite lengthy spells out with injury.

The 27-year-old, who started his career at West Ham, is under contract for next season so is likely to command a fee

The story doing the non league rounds is that Canvey will merge with Chelmsford and play at melbourne , Canvey's contribution will be the conference place and some of the playing staff, I think the rest will come from Chelmsford (I would expect the canvey part of any name will be dropped fairly quickly as few go as far as park lane let alone Chelmsford)
The Canvey Supporters club will then do an "AFC Canvey" affair , I think Park line has a similar covenant to Roots Hall so I would guess they will stay there....

Thanks for that, must be another Canvey player, Minton?

Fact of footballing life nowadays...

At least there will still be a club at Park Lane.

When these non-league mergers occur, I think they should take the league place of the lower ranked club, in this case Chelmsford and play in the Ryman Prem. It's just an excuse for Chelmsford (and I live about a half-mile from the ground) to leap-frog their way up thenon-league pyramid - it's a disgrace.

Wonder if Tilly will go in for him? Didn't Tilly get on King's nerves before by tapping him up?

 

[Firestorm]

I reckon we will give him a go......

I wonder if the new Chelmsford Gulls will go full time ?

 

[canveyshrimper]

I think that Boylan has had one injury too many. He also not the quickest, I think there will be better pickings for us on free's from Prem or Championship clubs come summer.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

If we still in League 2 this season, I would have gone for Boylan, but the fact we are closer to Championship, we should be looking at like of N. Shipperley (Sheff. U will let him go in summer on a free, come close to joining Brighton on March but turn them down as he feel they are a step down).

 

[Firestorm]

The likes of Shipperly will want too much money, Bear in mind that the wages will be dictated by our turnover from our last published accounts, which by August will be the 2004-2005 accounts. Even if our turnover went up by a million from the 2003-2004 that would only allow us to increase our wage bill by 11,500 a week.
By the time we have given out our new contacts that 'aint going to leave a great deal of room for many 3.5k PW players.....and I don't reckon our turnover went up that much !!!

Pretty sure Minton did it. Good shout.

With regards to the turnover thing, I expect the LDV trip may unfairly reflect our typical turnovre but given that we've got promoted twice since then, perhaps it under-reflects it. Either way, the budget will be more than we were allowed for this season presumably and I reckon RM has a pretty good handle on it anyhow.
