potter3 Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 Apologies for being a bit late, but I have had a couple of important issues that I am trying to resolve regarding player recruitment.The games today against Kettering Town and Rushden and Diamonds went very well. We have picked up a few minor knocks, but nothing serious. The scores in the games today really don't matter. It was getting everybody out in the middle, giving everybody the chance to play and giving me the opportunity, with Whit, to get a feel for it. After all those weeks it certainly gets the juices going, even when they are only just training games. That little buzz of excitement that you get in competitive competition is magic and it just wets the appetite for more. I am delighted that John Griffin has joined my backroom team. He is only part-time, but he will be working and scouting London at Premiership Reserve team level and also Academy level for the coming season. He also has loads of contacts in non-league level and he was the man that persuaded me to sign a player for £5,000 and sell him six months later for 550% profit, which must be close to a world record! He is a good scout, a good man and maybe he'll find me another diamond. Best Wishes, Martin Did he not tell us the scores because we lost Except that i thought someone said earlier we won one game 4-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 The only one I havn't laughed at so far. His other ones have been pretty funny but this one was just a basic what gone on in the last few days type of thing, as other people have said hopefully he has been or is too busy to write too much...

Matt Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 He said he paid £5k and he didn't pay £5k for DJ. From wikipedia Dudley Junior Campbell (born November 12, 1981 in London), almost invariably known as DJ Campbell, is a professional footballer, currently playing for Birmingham City. He is a centre-forward.Campbell was signed by Brentford from Yeading for £5000, where he had enjoyed a hugely successful spell. His skills were showcased against Newcastle United F.C. in the 2005 FA Cup, a game which was televised on BBC One, prompting Brentford manager, Martin Allen to sign the player. DJ famously scored two goals to lead Brentford to victory over Premiership side Sunderland in the 4th round of the FA Cup on January 28, 2006. Three days later he was sold to Birmingham for £500,000, the fee rising to £1.1 million depending on appearances, goals, and whether Birmingham avoid relegation. He made his Premiership debut as a substitute on February 4, 2006, playing the final 20 minutes in a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal. He scored his first goal against Colchester on August 5th 2006 where Birmingham won 2-1. Former clubs include Aston Villa (youth), Chesham, Stevenage, Billericay, Yeading and Brentford.

filbertway Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 been at a few clubs for a 25 year old! Yep, it's called non league, its not unusual for players not to stay at a club more than 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby or not Toby Posted 11 July 2007 Author Share Posted 11 July 2007 Yep, it's called non league, its not unusual for players not to stay at a club more than 2 seasons. But if he was good surely they would have wanted to keep him, especially stevenage as they are a relatively big non-league club if you know what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 But if he was good surely they would have wanted to keep him, especially stevenage as they are a relatively big non-league club if you know what i mean Yeah, good point. He can't be good enough for Stevenage, scoring 12 goals from 20 starts last season in the Championship. :doh: :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_foxes Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 we probably lost then. Haha, I think we must of done. I think the score would of been abit more important had we won.

l444ry Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 Why would the score matter to anyone? When you play a game of three halves with about 25 players, if you know what I mean. Absolute codswallop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 Why would the score matter to anyone? When you play a game of three halves with about 25 players, if you know what I mean. Absolute codswallop!!! Exactly, as I tell my kids - it's not about winning or losing, it's about how you play the game and enjoying yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
