[pandora]

the saddest one for me on that list is the release of simon morgan,yes ok he is fulscum but he stayed at the club through all the changes and was up till the end a 100% giver...
I spoke to him after one game,when Kev 'peado' Keegan was in charge and he said that if we go up or not they will change the team.We (the players ) are in a no win situation...

 

[Chrisbee]

Pandora...why is your address "No to Kingstonian"?
Are you suggesting KFC will be an alternative to Woking??

 

[Edmundo]

Agree with you about Morgan. There aren't enough people like him in football these days. Must say I thought Batesie was like him, until he ignored us at Adams Park and then I read the interview in TITS.

The other name that stands out from that list is Andy Sinton. I hope that he secures a decent job in football. Can we afford another coach?

Who are you ???? I know some people know who you are and i wanna know, i'll scweam and scweam unitl i get what i want.

 

[Ghost]

What a fountain of knowledge you are Big Mac!!!!!!

Nicky Southall is worth a shot surely. Sinton back at GP if only for one season if his legs can handle it would be ex!!!!!

 

[Alan R]

Without wishing to be funny guys - there aren't a lot of players listed there whose wages you'd wish to afford.

Simon Morgan is definitely worth a shout - he is without doubt one of the most loyal and committed players I've seen and always gives his all. In all honesty though - I can't really say there are a lot of players there who I'd sign if I were a manager.

Stuart Wardley and Ben Thornley might be worth a shout. Nicky Southall yes - definitely

Pandora has posted elsewhere that he/she feels that Woking is just a smokescreen and that when Kingstonian is announced, that people will accept that 'cos it's not Woking. Correct Pandora ?

I think this is one of the more believable rumours he has suggested. It sounds very much like RN- I drew the possible parallel with the Downes/Coppell situation in another thread (eg Get the fans rioting at the appalling prospect of scenario A then they will think you're not so bad after all when scenario B happens).

 

[mhead bee]

Well who was ever going to be upset with steve coppell coming in?
Iwould have jumped at it when RL was still here, I think that rips the heart out of that theory..maybe, just maybe, things are just what they seem!!!

Huddersfield fans reckon Thornley has been very poor this season.

Kevin Donovan of Grimsby on that list, anyone reckon he could do a job in the 2nd, he used to be quite prolific.

 

[Bigbee]

When you see a list of available players ,think ,now who will play for £25 k per year?? I dont think many in the above list would.Your better looking at the Palace yongsters list that Coppell has already been watching

 

[Baz Bee]

It's not only who would play for £25k it is also who could afford to move to London? Players already at a London club may be OK but to try and attract players from outside of London and the SE is always going to be a problem unless the package offered allows them to live rather than exist.

Tht's why clubs in the midlands and the north are able to attract the better calibre of players on a more advantageous basis.

 

[Thorne In The Side]

Ronny Jepson - What a player!
If ever there was a type of player Brentford need then it's someone from this mold. A right nasty bastard and one that everyone hates until he's yours - Players in our division like that our worth their weight in gold, and believe me, ronny had some weight!

 

[Streetboy]

most of these are merely players witht their contract expiring.
of those actually released...
chris lightfoot-was useful at chester a few years back, could provide valuable experience.
matt bryant-solid for bristol city for years, again experienced.
david beresford-looked promising for oldham not so long ago.

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

I would give Thornley, Sellars and Gallen a trial. Although I've heard that Thornley's a piece of work, but still quite a gifted player!!

And surley Gallen's worth a gamble, he used to score very regularly at a high level it may be that he just needs a little confidence. I'm sure Coppell could get something out of him.

And Sellars is a reasonably good player with experience, something which has been lacking from the team.

However, I doubt we'd be able to afford any of them!!!
