Another one bites the dust - Kerrigan to Gray

[Paul J]

No other comment than that I've just heard that Danny Kerrigan has signed for Grays.

Along with JJ my player of the season. Very dependable. Grays have got a good player.

[Guest]

Kerrigan is a good player at this level and I would have thought that he could have been part of next season's rebuilding. Why don't we just close down altogether?

 

That's another 20 off the crowd tomorrow!

A disgrace

[Andy Walsh]

This is an absolute disgrace, we need some senior players for next season. It's going to get very lonely at the end of the season watching Billericay. Even less people are going to watch.

As I have mentioned on a previous post George Borg said he left to save the club money, so they didn't have to sell any more players, yet since then Mark Graham, Lee Williams, Andy Douglas and now Kerrigan have left.

Moore also said there was enough funds to have paid Borg until the end of the season. If this was the case why are we getting rid of more players? With the players we've got left we may struggle to get in the top 16 next season to get into the conference div 1.

It now leaves us with only JJ, Ollie, Jamie Wallace, Russell Penn, Gary Ansell and Richard Graham with a decent amount of experience.

Something needs to be done.

your absolutley right, its a disgrace and i cant belive it. Danny is a fantastic player and to see him go just like all the other good players in our squad is a huge blow. Thats the fourth player Grays have got from us this season now, its stupid!

[Guest]

Where does all this end??? - Someone PLEEEESE out there who is a football lover (and has a few pennies) come and get involved....Cos we are a good club, with a LOAD of LOYAL fans. Albeit, some more loyal than others.

Roll on Hitchin tomorrow......

good qustion. Moore slams the supporters for not turning up and then sells the whole squad. MOORE IS TO BLAME

Obviously sorry to see Danny go. Think it's more to do with not being able to afford him next season than not being able to pay him the rest of this season.

 

It is hugely dispiriting to see players going like this - every time I think "Ok he's gone, but hopefully that's it - hopefully we can now start to plan for next season with the nucleus of a squad" - then somebody else leaves! At least the transfer deadline day is approaching (monday) after which I guess we'll know which players will take us through to the end of the season. As for next season? who knows....

 

The one thing that I keep telling myself is that at least we're dealing with our problems - the probability is that if we hadn't cut the budget we could well have gone to the wall.

[Andy P]

Thought something was up the other night when he was left out of the team, they obviously didn't want to risk him picking up a knock. Willo, Fewings and Douglas leaving I can accept but Danny Kerrigan was IMO along with JJ and Ollie our most consistant player this season and one that we needed to keep if we're to do anything next season. Who will be the next to go, are we really in such dire straits that anyone that receives an acceptable bid has to go??

[Guest]

a guy on the grays foru is asking if they have signed JJ as well,anybody know ?

 

its getting very depressing following the blues at the moment

[c'mon ricay]

thats a disgarce espically if both jj an kerrigan have gone to grays

 

does anyone know if the players where actually contracted to the club or where they on a non-contratc basis

 

this now leaves ricay with no top quality players at this level

 

its good to blooding young talent but their is a limit this leaves the clubs expreinced players as what jamie wallace, ollie, russell penn, richie grham and i wonder how long it is until they join grays to be replaced by hornchurchs rejects

 

[Rod]

It is just depressing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> it is all very well cheering on the youngsters but when we keep losing games where is the interest. We were told that this was just end of season cost mangement this is obviously a lie, there are severe financial problems. You cannot say that these players have left just becasue we did not get a couple of rounds further in the FA Cup/Trophy.

 

How can we expect Ollie and JJ to stay what have they got to look forward to in this decimated team.

 

Where do we go now back to Essex Senior League level? because that is the playing standard we are going to end up with at this rate.

[Guest]

Wouldnt it be nice to have an official statement from the chairman, will the club be in existance next season or not ? better we know the truth of whats going on.

[Matt H]

Just think though, if all these players are going then someone has to replace them. This pre-season it is predicted that more football league players will be free-agents than ever before, meaning that it'll be easier for the likes of Billericay to pick up a few players that have played their trade in Div. 1 & 2.

 

Always a chance of picking someone out of favour at Colchester, Southend, (only two players have contracts there next season so far), Charlton, Gillingham, Ipswich, Norwich etc and they're just the local teams.

[c'mon ricay]

yes but ex-league players will expect good money by this levels standards

 

only scum island, shots, grays n hornchurch can afford such wages at ryman league level
