Reserves News

[Wonka]

Goalkeeper Matt Lamprell has left Margate after being signed by Ebbsfleet United on a 2 year academic/football scheme.

Best of luck to Matt, he will shine in amongst the Ebbsfleet youngsters no doubt.

[michael]

Pity that the 'Gate lose his talent.

 

Wonder what matt bowles is doing ?

[Paul H]

Bowles training with southall last week.

[Ian_Sanderson]

What Southall in Middlesex?LOL

[michael]

Not contracted though at moment-although Krunic is .

 

How does it 'work' for the reserves-i guess the players must be registered to the club to play in the kent league;but are there reserve contracts as such.

 

i.e simply-but only-by being registered to play for the reserves, can players still 'wander off' to play for another club at any time they feel like it ?

[Ian_Sanderson]

Id have assumed you can hold dual registaration for a Team in a different League if not on contract,

[BlueGate Alan]

Good luck to Matt, I for one am sorry to see him go because IMO he was only going to get better and better at just 16 last season.

[BlueGate Alan]

For Michael's info Matt Bowles went to training with squad on Saturday, so guess he is still in the frame?

[michael]

Thats good-need at least 3 keepers-SCS,Bowles,Krunic i guess

[BlueGate Alan]

Looks that way Michael.

[Andy .]

Going slightly off track read in yesterdays NLP that Peterbrough offered Ebsfleet

[bigtw]

Pat Mullins is still Training not been offered contract yet.

[BlueGate Alan]

Should that be for public info Tony on here?

[Paul H]

You've completely got this wrong. Cheers Ian. Bowles was training with Neville Southall at MFC last monday night on the training pitches.

[bigtw]

who's got what wrong Eyeball

[bigtw]

Ian all the players have to have Dual registration for both the Rymans League and Kent league so as they can play for the reserves when needed.

 

Although the reserve players only need Kent league registration if they are promoted to 1st team they can register same day with the Rymans.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Thanks bigtw,i learn every day.

[michael]

Well -i'm as confused as ever.

I was trying to establish if by signing Kent league reg. forms, essentially that contracted a player to a club so they could not just wander off elsewhere.

 

having said that-are contracts meaningless anyway as i get the impression that if another club fancies your own player-they make a' 7 day approach' (whatever one of those is ) and you lose the player anyway !!

 

Is this '7 day approach stuff' something that is 'unique at our step 3 level-so in fact you can only lose your player this way to a club at your own level .

 

Thus-if i am correct-the fact that our younger players are on contract may be meaningless;as say for example a couple of them really shine and clubs with money-maybe Dover and Sutton fancy them-theose clubs make 7 day aproaches and the players leave for pastures new .

 

Seems a right minefield but probably down to my ignorance

[bigtw]

It is a mine field. Basically if the players are signed for one club re Margate on Rymans forms they cannot be approached without a 7 day notice by another club. They can play for another team in the kent league and still be signed with Margate for the Rymans.

 

It is quite easy but would take ages to go through all the different laws but most for under 24s comes under the bosnum ruling which can be looked up on the FA site. Clubs can't just come in and take players without compensating their present club for their development.

 

The contract side of things is a f-cking joke but mostly it is down to players greed not so much at non league level but it has started creeping in over the last couple of years.
