If I was a Wealdstone supporter I'm not sure I'd be doing cartwheels about Dean Brennan taking charge. 

4th club within/around a year doesn’t look great on your CV. He’ll probably sneak in a couple more clubs before the end of 2019!

He must have given the Wealdstone board a load of old Blarney  ?

Normally you'd expect a bit of a player exodus from Hemel but apart from Jordan Parkes is there any other Hemel players worth signing?

Like most clubs it's amazing the support that comes out of the woodwork on these big occasions.

Tbh, quite a few were there for the beer. There was a mad rush from the bar when the penalty was given. The atmosphere was not unlike being at Dulwich, a sociable afternoon out that just happened to involve football.

Jeff Monakana has left Wealdstone but no idea where he's headed to.

So far Wealdstone's only signing is striker Rees Beckles-Richards from Wingate who scored 3 goals in 37 appearances last season.

Brave person to call a 1 goal in every 12 games player a striker ?

Jordan Parkes has left Hemel.

Apparently not in Sammy Moore's plans which I find quite remarkable.

 

According to their website he turned down the clubs offer to stay. Was voted in the Vanarama South team of the year. Hemel captain.Very popular player at Hemel. Supporters will be very surprised by this. Quite a few  ex Concord Players are  joining Hemel now.

Reading between the lines, Jordan Parkes was offered a deal that was for less money and turned it down.

Parkes was obviously on a very good deal at Hemel and new manager Sammy Moore thinks he can get a few players in for the same money. 

With the players that have now left Wealdstone perhaps they can now afford to splash out on Parkes.

Hampton’s Chairman has just announced they’re significantly reducing their playing budget as outside finances haven’t materialised as hoped. I think they would have struggled without this news so it’ll be a long hard season as it looks like they’ll be putting out a very young side.

That put Hampton amongst the strugglers unless McCann can work a miracle.

There's not mean't to be much love lost between Jordan Parkes and Dean Brennan,so I'm doubtful he will end up at Wealdstone. I would have thought St Albans may be a better bet, unless Bakes and Unders push the boat out ! ?

Not sure St Albans have the money to get Jordan Parkes.

As for us, if you count Sam Togwell we have 6 midfielders, do we need another?

I was joking about Jordan Parkes joining Slough .Never say never but very unlikely. He's bit of a luxury player for the current Slough set up.

If Billy Clifford doesn't come back to us,then I think there would be an opening for another centre midfielder. Funny enough I wouldn't mind seeing Ryan Hope back or someone of that type of ilk ie a hard working,hustle and bustle,energy driven dynamo,younger player. Ryan's no longer a youngster but by all accounts has come on bundles and is now in his prime. Our managers forgave Lenchy, so why not Ryan.

Personally I'd rather concentrate on our deficiencies from last season than be overloaded in midfield.

If Ryan Hope might has improved that much why is he still playing in a lower division at Hendon.

Surely his knowledgeable agent would have got him a better move by now  ?

The Herts Advertiser reports that St Albans City made a loss of £118,000 in 2018.
