A couple of non league snippets

Not having a bad day all

Of course changes in the finances /control of any of our rivals which may strengthen them to our detriment is a subject that should be discussed imo

Chelmsford Chairman has met with Tamplin but denied that they are up for sale but is open to any form of investment.

Chelmsford have signed ex premier league striker Leroy Lita. Hmmm... just a coincidence? 

[GlenSTFC]

Not really! He’s 34 and had recently retired. Plus he hadn’t played at that level for years and would hardly command big wages. The club have already confirmed they have no intention of even talking to GT.

I know glen, it was a tongue in cheek comment.

The pitch at Wealdstones was passed fit to play yesterday, unfortunately their floodlights failed and the game was called off.

Jordan Parkes has joined Kings Langley as player/coach.

Glen Tamplin has found a home for his cash. He has become an investor at Romford FC. Within 5 hrs of the announcement Romford announced there management team and backroom staff had been released. see announcement below:-

As of Lunchtime Tuesday Romford FC have parted company with Manager Paul Martin, Mark Lord and the backroom team.
It was felt with the new investment coming into the club it was the right time for a fresh start.
It would be difficult to put in words the impact and legacy that Magic and Lordy have had on the club, and were well respected and liked not just in our club but across the non league world.
We appreciate this is a lot of information for supporters to take in at the moment, but ask that you bear with us during this transition.

A new management team of 4 people have been put in place who have access to players at higher levels, including league two. Some of those players will be available for Saturdays home game against Coggeshall.
I am sure supporters will have their own words of thanks, but on a personal note I have enjoyed working with them both, over their long tenure at the club.

Romford are rock bottom of their league so no surprise they've  sipped from the poisoned chalice!

[Irishadrian]

No doubt Tampons son Archie will be a Romford player Romford have been homeless and  getting them into a home of their own is one of his aspirations

Braintree have announced their new joint managers  George Borg and current player/captain Hutchings who will be player manager

As Neil predicted Glen Driver is back at Leiston

George Borg is still going??!

Remember him back in the day as a player at Wycombe - nasty and foul mouthed if I recall....

[Irishadrian]

Rebellier  Your memory is still first class  Borg is a very unpleasant lifeform.

[GlenSTFC]

Remember him more as Enfield manager and yeah not the nicest opinion of him, maybe he changed after all these years! Has been in management in recent years?

This 4 person management team has to include old tampers hasn’t it??? Expect to see an influx of players too good for their level and grand promises of playing in a brand new stadium in the Football League in 4 seasons time!

Mark Pye wasn't impressed by George Borg[after years of playing under him] ,as he kicked him in the nuts, if memory serves me correct.

George Borg seems to have been around for years. He must be knocking on a bit now. Certainly got a lot of experience but seems a rather conservative appointment by Braintree, given that he's following on from Glenn Driver.

Makes sense being local for him and his work.

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

Borg, football wise, is vile, his management approach is stuck in the dark ages...

Anyone remember Junior Harvey having to be restrained from giving him a hiding when we played Aldershot back at Wexham Park years ago? Think we lost 1-0, Abbo returned to get the winner!
