Recruitment

[Chapperz]

Coaching staff have been here for nearly 7 weeks.
Stan has been here just over 4 weeks.
John Still has been here for 2 weeks.

Part of me looks at that and thinks, surely we could have brought in more than a couple of loanees from Currie's old team. However, I wonder if most of any potential new signings will be coming from John Still's networking.

Another part of me thinks this is a difficult time to sign players. While we don't have a transfer window, those above us do. Would they be willing to let fringe players leave if they can't replace them with better? I doubt it. For those in under 23s, if they were considering loaning them out this season, then they most likely would have done in the summer.

Of course we can sign players from the same league or leagues below, but then there are other issues. If they are playing well, then their club won't want them to leave. Can we (as a full-time club) make a better offer to a player who is playing part-time and most likely has a full-time job? Would they be willing to relocate or travel further for a one or two year deal?

I hope in a few weeks time we will be seeing rewards and players brought it, but it is looking pretty bleak at the moment.

Is there a Zoom call or supporter group meetings coming up?

Are we allowed to ask when things will change yet or are people still gonna cry and say the new management team have only had 6 weeks or something! Abysmal, useless, heartless and the list goes on. Get some new blood in asap. Told you collymore was full of fake promises!

I have feeling the title of this thread will be changed to embargo. What a complete utter mess we are!

Correct. Let’s see what tomorrow reveals…

 

[southendkid]

Doubt we'll see anyone until January now even if the financial rumours are false, who's going to want to move job so close to Christmas?

Collymore out!!

Is that your opinion mate? You've been very supportive in the past, was it the whole crowd booing at the end of the game that changed your mind?

 

[Scamps]

People shot me down last week for saying Ron don’t have the cash, won’t pay a fee for a concord player, trouble paying staff at the club.
Time to bring back the Martin out chants, nothing has changed, if anything it’s got worse since we stopped, with Ron going to court. Something fishy is going on??‍??‍

You’ve been booing Collymore since the start of course but there were only a handful of boos where I was sat.

I was amazed how flat it was at the end. I heard a few boos in the south upper then this weird nothingness.

 

[Tommy2holes]

So much for players waiting to sign and contacts contacts contacts.

Something doesn't add up here and this team is woeful and struggled tonight against a terrible Maidenhead side.

 

[dusterman]

Glenn Speller hinted we’ll know more about stuff this week. Same old. RM not going anywhere. Fans and club left to rot. We’re told to calm down. NLS a guarantee.

Sorry? This chap said Collymore out, not me. I was asking a question, why are you having a dig at me for?

Simply been beaten to submission. Lots of fans think RM just got unlucky and is just doing his best with no money.

 

[sufcfed]

If it is an embargo I sadly see us not getting out of it this time. What with the current HMRC dealings we simply won’t be able to brush this under the carpet, such sad times ?

Plenty of boos at the end of the game in the East

Classic East Stand Ultras out in force.

I could be completely off here but does the national league have differing rules from the football league regarding embargo’s/finances? ie can be a lot more strict with points deductions etc?

 

[danbowen]

Only reason Stan ended up leaving is because some of us could clearly see right through him. It’s why he called us out because that’s what people do when they get caught out. His chats were all just a smoke screen. So much for a list of players ready to sign etc.
