STAYING Stevens, Daniel and Brandy! Something to build on so far.

Well this rate we won't have a team next season . Jesus . This is a MASSIVE ask to get this amount of players in .

Where has Tom Marshall gone?

 

staying local thats for sure ..... 
 

A lot gone no new incomings and 3 have resigned two of which I would prefer to be on the gone list

I think Donald is my next to go mainly by because he won't have to show the players where to park.lol

Nothing about Daniel if he is staying with us ...

Dont know about you guys but i have never seen this before an almost total walk out by the players ..... tbh i would expect four maybe five but what is now TEN ? This to me very worrying as the new management have got to find at least seven good enough players and to  me thats a VERY tall order .  Yes i know it`s early days but them early days go fast then you in the situation where players have signed up already for other teams . 
      Do i need to be this worried ????????

As I have previously said 2 of 3 the that’s staying i wouldn’t have wanted to keep and you definitely can’t build a team around them

You are entitled to your opinion silverfoxx and I won’t ask you to name the two you dislike
But in my opinion all three are worth keeping because they’ve played at our level and above. 

I don’t know if it’s common knowledge but Danny Draper is back as head of Ilkeston's media team after spending a year at Basford. I had a chat with Danny this morning and he did a lot to convince me that my fears of us having a weakened team next season could be unfounded. Apparently besides Daniel, Brandy and Stevens some other players agreed to sign after training last night. Clubs can’t actually register new players until 1st June unless they’re on a contract. Whilst we are not exactly throwing silly money about, Tristram and Aaron are determined to bring in a mix of decent young and experienced players. 

 

Jason Cowley of Halesowen?  . 30 but still a good player

Jason Cowley scored 31 goals last season. Don’t think we could afford him.

Apparently last season's playing budget was £4000 a week. Alot of our players and ex players dropping down a step for more money. Iam not complaining regarding budget matlock a Prime example that a bigger budget doesn't guarantee success. Deaks should get more credit for the job he did last season if the Ambition is the remain in the division when compering budgets. If our players are earning £200 a week it will be difficult to keep them.

Now this is the worst post I have seen on WHiteball in years.

£4000 your having a laugh.

Worst post? Iam honoured.
Not so much fiction in the Post.
Only Stating what our Previous manager told myself and others at Stocksbridge.

Apparently you cannot sign players on contracts til the June 1st so plenty of time to announce next seasons squad. If you announce them earlier you risk players being poached with better offers before June 1st.
I fined it incredible that some fans thought after Deaks went his loyal players would stay at Ilkeston. It also seems odd that the same fans who were calling for a change of management are now whinging about him going. It may be like a break up with your girlfriend when you start thinking how good it was before you fancied a change.
i liked Deaks but when the club has made the decision to end it you after get behind the club ans support the new management team. I think what will make a difference is when the new media find their feet and get the communication back on track.

Just me, from miles away... but, for some posting here, it's just maybe about time to read the room? Clearly, it's all change... So I'm thinking, a new start for the Club - and long live the new king(s)... But equally, and hopefully, I think some supporter positivity is maybe needed... Players may read this...!

I'm thinking, let's try to show a bit more positivity, please... so the team starts off not reflecting past times...And yes, there have been some great teams - and players from 'no-where' we still remember.... It can happen!

That all said... I'm also thinking, maybe (please) not to ask me again at Xmas 2026!
