Barnet Ben Wrote: It looked like Dean Brennan was on his way to manage Swindon Town recently. He snubbed them and a week later has signed 6 players. We normally do our business in the bargain bucket, a week before the season starts with whoever hasn't found a club yet so this is all a bit unusual.
Nick Hayes - Solihull's goalkeeper
Rhys Browne - STOLEN from Woking.
Finley Wilkinson - Hitchin's top scorer. Southend are pissed we managed to sign him.
Joe Grimwood - From promoted Braintree
Nikolas Tavares - Daggers
Jermaine Francis - Chelmsford's star, Sorry Mr Nice
Released Gary Hooper. Still has the skill but just nowhere near fit enough for the National League. Looks like he might land a big money deal at a newly founded club in Dubai.
Moussa Diarra - Long Covid seems to have destroyed his career. Absolute gentleman. Wish him luck.
Laurie Walker - The best goalkeeper in non league, hands down. Cannot fathom why he has been released. He is going to make another club very happy. 😢
Saw that about Dean Brennan and had a good laugh. Their forum are expecting the interim manager, Gavin Gunning, to be appointed. Shall we say they don't rate him but the owner, the Aussie Plumber, appears to like him. They fear relegation as they are a mess and the Aussie Plumber has little resource to buy their way out of it.
