Hi everyone

Just wanted to give our latest article over at Written In Black And White a bit of a plug if possible.

On the eve of our trip to Newport it’s an interview with current Exiles striker and former Town forward Pádraig Amond.

The link for it is here https://writteninbaw.wordpress.com/2018/08/24/the-big-interview-padraig-amond/

Thanks, I hope you enjoy reading it.

Should never have been allowed to leave.
A disastrous decision by Hurst and Fenty.

Great work Dan. When reading that article I couldn’t help feel very sad that he’s not with us. A legend in my eyes.

Interesting comments about his penalty at Braintree. Such small margins in football sometimes. The town end at Wembley singing "we've got Amond" was immense.

We would be guaranteed playoff contenders with him in this team.

Interesting & an enjoyable read.

The most intriguing but is about why he left. Podge  clearly wanted a 2 year deal, perfectly understandable.

Having spoken to Paul Hurst he confirmed a one year deal was offered but if Podge had come back and said I would sign if I can have a two year deal, he would have asked the board to agree to it. He didn’t, and after avoiding Hurst for a few weeks he signed elsewhere

Hadn't we offered him 2.5 years in the Jan? If so, then why did he not sign that if he wanted stability?

There are two sides to every story, but this one is really a bit baffling. As Ginny notes, we'd offered him a long contract which he turned down, but then apparently didn't attempt to renegotiate a 1 year offer?

Perhaps his agent was shopping him around a bit and so wasn't too bothered about getting back to GTFC to ask for a longer deal? Very strange.
