I'm so looking forward to the photographs of this.

Re: Ex-Player update: May 2022
All I was referring to was the fact we offered Max a contract and he went to Wealdstone instead - it's not that much of an unappealing option. On the contrary, it would probably suit Lofthouse and make him a guaranteed starter rather than a bit-part player with us. I recognise that the age/profile of the players is different.Woking United wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:46 amOh and isn't Max Pub(Barnet thing ask them) about 29 so we didn't pay anyone out. Offered him terms and he went elsewhere. King Kellerman or Max and I'm pleased he did go . COYC

£10,000 signing on fee, blimey.Woking United wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2023 10:38 amNO Max K was going elsewhere till Wealdstones fans paid him a £10,000 signing on fee. Nearly Barnet from memory. He'd start every week as well which must be a temptation. Oh and Alan Dowson to the tellietubbys which I'm not sure if any laps of the pitch are involved.ffs

Have you a link to anything confirming that?

Re: Ex-Player update: May 2022
Pretty sure it's true. Last summer, a Wealdstone official posted on their message board that they had an unexpected chance to sign one of the top players in the division, but in order to do so, had to quickly raise £10,000. They asked their supporters if they could raise that amount within a few days as the player would make a huge difference to their season. Kretzschmar had been doing the rounds but was apparently due to sign for Barnet on the Monday morning - but he failed to turn up, much to Dean Brennan's apparent fury. Max was then announced as a Wealdstone player.
Not watertight, maybe, but I think most people would reach the same conclusion.

Bigger fool them for paying it.

Re: Ex-Player update: May 2022
Lofthouse heading to Wealdstone would probably be a similarly decent move for him because the lad needs games, simple as that. If he signs a one-year deal and puts in the kind of performances that had him on EFL clubs' radar he's better off than staying put really. A lot of people were suggesting he'd need to drop a level recently so I'm a bit baffled people are looking down at Wealdstone who are a very well run club.

Kretzschmar said it was a “humbling” gesture and made him “very proud”.
and rich, of course.

One of the main reasons, but I can think of about ten thousand other reasons that were ahead of that one TBF.

Re: Ex-Player update: May 2022
Given the wages we are probably paying now, I wouldn’t say that’s much either.
We must have players on close to 2K a week now (Amond, Browne, Ince, Robinson).

Re: Ex-Player update: May 2022
he went against the owners with George Francomb and Tony Craig last year, the latter both ended up at dorking after contract terminations and thats why he ended up on loan with us last yearChobham Card wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 4:52 pmJake Hessenthaler mutually cancels his contract with Crawley.
