33 year old centre midfielder Godfrey Poku has been released by Hemel Hempstead. Last season he had a few injury niggles but considering he's been captain at teams like Woking and Havant he may be the sort of player Slough should consider, if Scott wants/needs an experienced leader on the pitch. 

As we know a few seasons ago we wouldn't have had a chance of getting Godfrey Poku to Slough.

He picked up a bad injury, I think when playing for Havant, and doesn't seem to have been the same player since.

Last played a game for Hemel back in February and with no injury problems being reported it seems he was just left out of the side when Bradley Quinton became their new manager.

A few seasons ago I would have said he would be a fantastic signing for us but he now seems to be a shadow of the player he once was.

The new owners of Eastbourne Borough have sacked manager Danny Bloor.

Say they offered him a number of other positions which he declined!

This is true but ballboy, tea bar helper and cleaner wasn’t quite what Danny wanted.

[Irishadrian]

There is a statement on their fans forum from Danny Bloor saying he had no idea of what was coming when he met the new guys Lists all his achievements during his years in charge and is clearly distressed by events

[Reading Rebel]

Sounds like new owners coming in and wanting to use AI/data technology analysis over good old fashioned managerial nous and experience.

I wonder if they've ever run a football club before.

Speculation on their forum over the possibility of Steve King with a big budget.

Not sure Steve King comes across as an AI tech savvy type of manager.

Along with Hampton another club with new owners and a big budget.

Experienced keeper and a decent signing for Becky.

Just a matter of time before Lee Toggs turns up at Becky.

I don’t understand the obsession with Dobson…. the last time he was in good form was with us at Step 2 in the first half of the 2018/9 season.

It will be interesting to see how he does though.

I guess it's because he's an ex player who played a major part in our progression to the NLS. 

Not the same player since his season long injury.

No obsession Curtis. He played for us last season and has linked up with our former manager again. Thought some might be interested in that.

I think I may have misunderstood what you meant. You mean obsession with clubs signing him rather than my obsession?.

TBF to you RW I took what Curtis said the same way as you, that supporters who said anything about Dobbo were obsessed with him.  

I suppose the statement could be taken either way.
