2.26 today

 

The worst kept secret in soccer is likely to become reality later today with an official announcement that Jeff King is to become the new manager of Chelmsford City.

 

Since the Canvey football club owner and manager announced nearly three weeks ago that he would no longer bankroll the island outfit from the end of this term rumours have linked him with a switch to the Ryman Premier club.

 

Poor gates at Park Lane have led to King's companies financing the club to the tune of about £8,000 a week and it is felt that Chelmsford, with a far larger fan base, will have a better chance of going even further than Gulls in the long term.

 

Glenn Pennyfather, who has been with King as assistant during his magnificent march through the lower ranks of the non-league game to the Nationwide Conference, would be expected to join him in his switch to Melbourne Park.

 

The delay in announcing King's plans - he would be at Chelmsford in a pure footballing role and not involved in the financing of the club - is believed to be due to City chairman Paul Hopkins being in America on holiday

And yr point Sidney???

[sidney]

Think about it...

[Cookie]

Sorry but I AM thinking about it. We knew he was going to Chelmsford. Thats old news.

So Chelmsford will be worth looking at next season as contenders.Jeff King wont therefore be coming here & he's out of the picture so apart from the above exactly WHAT is it you are telling us Sidknee!

[BlueGate Alan]

Take no notice Cookie, check out Billericay boards he is just a sh*t stirrer

[Cookie]

I Think I have got his point though Alan.I can see where he is going with this now!

[BlueGate Alan]

Yes me too but he does stir things

[BlueGate Alan]

I hope he is wrong though still love to see Trotty get job

If he wants to be childish, let him. If we ignore him then the little boy will soon go away and go back to playing Barbie and action man.

The thing about Hissing Sid is that no one knows who he supports and quite frankly I don't care.

 

Just hope he falls off the Queen Elizabeth II bridge into the thames.
