Courtney Richards

As with Verma; I would be very surprised if Richard's agent is not actively seeking a contract for him with a Midlands club rather than his client face the prospect of more time spent away from home playing for piss-poor money. People's opinion of the player's ability are what they are, but totally ...

McGinty signs on for next season

Valid points- but if (as told) we have a top 10 budget where is Sparkes and Verma going for improved one year contracts - Tranmere, Eastleigh ? Are we being told porkies about our budget - maybe three little pigs can enlighten us! I would imagine it is not pursuit of a markedly better remuneration ...

McGinty signs on for next season

my greatest fear is NIcho having to mould a new squad again, it was our downfall last season letting to many players leave and having to rebuild. But that's the nature of non league football; if you only offer a one year contract then don't be surprised if the player opts to move on at the end of i...

Sparkes and Verma leave

players move on and better ones come in, its football, we have been at the bottom for two seasons for a reason so clearly a new squad is needed. I agree; they're just common or garden National League players at the end of the day neither that good nor that bad ~ good luck to both of them but always...

Brucie V Dave - This time its personal!! ;)

I think the point about Eastleigh is that through their investment in non football related activities they have underpinned the club's financial performance by not being totally reliant on the team's success on the field. TUFC are completely reliant on the team's on field performance to generate in...

Exeter playoff

Would Forest Green be where they are without Vince, Or would Eastleigh be where they are without their insurance magnate? No of course not - its highly likely that Eastleigh (or anyone else with money for that matter) will be a league club before us. That's stating the bleeding obvious when we are ...

Season tickets

Woking stated they were in negotiation with a new investor and hence confident that this investment will secure the long term future of the Club and are about to enter the final stages of these negotiations. As a result, the Board were not in a position to offer a new contract to the Gary Hill/Steve...

Expectations for next season

I nearly always have a beer in front of me when I'm typing in a comment to post. Sometimes I finish the beer before I finish the comment. And it doesn't always work, judging by some of the responses I've had. So if typing over a beer doesn't work, I'll try the pub a bit more often.. http://i556.pho...

Hargreaves turn to get a pasting now is it.....? He may not last as a pundit, but has a good reputation as a coach, ask Eddie Howe, Exeter and Bristol Rovers and could have made a good manager in time He took the job with absolutely no experience or qualification do so; he took the club out of the ...

F A Trophy

Let's not pretend that United have ever deliberately gone out of the FA Trophy; both last season and this they went out embarrassed by teams below them in the football pecking order ~ out played, out fought and out managed...

Keating Signs!

Unless he is offered a very good deal; any player worth his salt is going to look around surely; I'd be disappointed in any of them if they didn't. Keating's case is a little bit different; trying to make his way in the full-time game and hardly a leading light in the League of Ireland from where he...
