ANGRY Ash United boss Paul Bonner has blasted what he calls “an obscene offer” which played a part in enticing star James Blason to Badshot Lea.

 

The attacking midfielder is understood to be nearly doubling his £70-a-week Shawfield Road deal by joining CCL rivals Baggys.

 

Bonner, under pressure after four heavy defeats, snapped: “It’s an obscene offer. James hasn’t gone for money but it does help. They have a good budget over there and are paying a lot of money not to win the league.”

 

In a jibe at Lea, who share Godalming Town’s Wey Court facilities, he had this advice: “Maybe they should spend their money on a ground.”

 

Lea manager Dave Ford hit back: “My answer is that I won’t sit in the Combined Counties for 25 years like Ash – I’ll do something about it.

 

“He has a point. We haven’t got our own ground but the money is there for that as well. We have pitch consultants advising us and are not far away. We’ll be in our own facilities in 12 to 18 months.

 

“I wouldn’t be around if I didn’t think there would be anything at the end of it.

 

“I’ve not done this maliciously but for the benefit of Badshot Lea. I want the best players playing for me and I will keep doing it.”

 

Ford, who also signed flying winger Aaron Agyeman from Raynes Park Vale, added: “If Ash were a bit more ambitious they would keep people like Blason.”

 

Having made his debut as a second-half substitute on Saturday, Blason is the latest Ash player to jump ship to the Baggys following left-back Liam Roberts and striker Marcus Cousins. And Bonner is clearly unimpressed: “They’ve nabbed three of my better players over the last six months and it obviously grates a bit.”

 

The war of words is sure to add spice to the league clash between the clubs at Ash next Tuesday.

 

Agyeman made his bow as Lea beat Sandhurst Town 3-0 on Bank Holiday Monday, scoring once and setting up another for Brad Smith. Dan Ker had opened the scoring, his first goal for the Baggys who are now unbeaten in five matches.

 

Meanwhile, Guildford City manager Kevin Rayner was disappointed with a 1-1 draw at Banstead Athletic on Monday, describing it as “a cup hangover”. Joel Greaves earned the point from the penalty spot.

 

Dorking produced a gritty display but couldn’t stop Chertsey Town winning 1-0 at Alwyns Lane, their fifth straight league win

 

 

 

Haven't got a problem with clubs offering players more money thats football, and if we were all honest we would love to have a big budget. The problem I have in the case of Aaron Agyeman, at RPV, is a member of the Badshot Lea's coaching staff approaching him in our clubhouse after our game against Bookham, and ringing the player later that week before they put the 7 dayer in. The better way to do things, if they wanted to speak with the player was to telephone the RPV manager, asking if him could talk to the player without a 7 dayer, which I've had done to me, and have also done the same myself.

If what they offered him is true it would be a slap in the face to the other players, however thats their affaire. We at RPV know we cant complete with most of the CCL clubs with money, and we accept that, but it did insult us, because they have a bit of cash, they think they can break the rules. Maybe with some of the cash they could purchase a rule book. Its all about respect which they have none.

 

COMMON BUT A SORE SUBJECT WITH ME, BUT NOT IGNORANT TO KNOW IT GOES ON ALL THE TIME EVEN IN THE PREMIER.

 

SO WHAT IT IS WITH THESE SO CALLED CCL ''MONEY CLUBS'' ! BADSHOT LEA HAVE BEEN ''ACCUSED'' OF ALLEDGED TAPPING UP PLAYERS IN THE PAST AND TO DO THE ''APPARENT'' TAP-UP OF THE RPV PLAYER IN THE HOME SIDES CLUBHOUSE IS NOT ONLY ILLEGAL BUT A COMPLETE INSULT !

 

DOBO SNR MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO REPORT THIS ''ALLEDGED'' TAP-UP TO THE CCL WHERE THEY MUST TRY AND DO SOMETHING TO STOP ALL THIS...............DEDUCT POINTS, DON'T FINE THEM THAT HURTS MORE !!!

 

B. LEA CLEARLY HAVE NO MORALS NOR RESPECT - ARE THEY REALLY ''THAT'' DESPARATE TO WIN THE LEAGUE BY TAPPING UP EVERY PLAYER THAT PLAYS WELL AGAINST THEM, WHICH I ASSUME AGYEMAN MUST HAVE, HENCE THE TAP UP !!! BUT THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY MUST HAVE THE MONEY TO ATTRACT THE PLAYERS AWAY WHICH IS FINE BUT DONE IN THE CORRECT MANNER AND BY THE RULES.

 

I READ ON A PREVIOUS MANAGER50 THREAD ABOUT ANOTHER ''MONEY TEAM'' CHERTSEY ALLEDGEDLY TAPPING UP A MOLESEY PLAYER (BAXTER)WHO WAS SIGNED ON FOR THEM AND HAD THE AUDACITY OF EVEN PLAYING HIM IN ONE OF THEIR FREINDLIES ! MANAGER50, WHATS THE OUTCOME OF THAT WITH THE CCL/FA ? WHY SHOULD THESE TYPES OF CLUBS GET AWAY WITH IT ?

 

WHEN ARE THE CCL EVER GOING TO PUNISH THESE ''MONEY CLUBS'' (THEY MUST BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE FINE, BETTER STILL DEDUCT POINTS THAT HURTS MORE) THEN PERHAPS ALL THIS TAPPING UP MAY REDUCE, 'COS I KNOW LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THE CCL WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IT, BUT WITH B. LEA DOING IT SO OBVIOUSLY IS DISRESPECTFUL TO RPV........ IT'S TAKING THE P*SS AT THE CLUBS WHO CANNOT FIGHT AGAINST THEM 'COS THEY DON'T HAVETHE MONEY, BUT THEN VULTURES ARE ALWAYS FLYING !

 

RANT OVER !

 

 

:wall:

 

Nice Guy - Before people start rants on the basis of what other people have said or written, with regards to the alleged tapping up of Aaron Agyeman at RPV in their clubhouse - The story is not exactly how Dobo snr recollects although im not sure if that's what he was told by other members of the RPV team. Without going in to it as there really is no need - B.Lea actually spoke to friends and family members of the player at the RPV home game (members of family who play for another CCL Prem team) completely by chance without knowing they were linked to the player as they are not mind readers!!!!

 

The seven day approach was put in after there after.

 

As far as the situation with Mr Blason from Ash - im sure that the above goes to show you shouldnt beleieve all you read that is written and i find it really sour that the Manager from Ash feels fit to be putting out the details of what he was paying James Blason - surely this is confidential information between club and player!

 

I understand clubs are not going to be happy to lose their better players and therefore might have a bone to pick with the B.Lea and Chertseys amongst others but this my friends is football!:futbolbud2:

 

Ok I'll give you that one, but I bet there are people reading this tread thinking like me Yeah right, however how do you explain the phone call to the player after that night and before the seven dayer was put in, the player told me that himself, and that my friend is the truth. Never going to get to bottom of this unless Arron said what really happened.

 

Agree with you on confidential info on this forum, that’s why I didn’t post what you offered Arron.

 

Also your right not happy losing players, but it feels a lot better when its done right, and not so disrespectful to a club trying hard to keep heads above water not only on the pitch, behind the scenes as well.

 

Off to watch an episode of Family Fortunes

Hmmm!

 

I saw and heard a Ryman 1 south manager tapping up a Wood player just outside the clubhouse door at Wibbandune at the end of a league game 2 years ago. This goes on all the time.
