Can someone summarise the deleted post please? What a bloody member tease.


There was no mention of money in the posts, pretty much the opposite actually. Basically , he was offered a two and half year deal halfway through the season didn’t sign it because he didnt know what league we would be in , then in the summer they offered him a 1 yr deal instead. Turned it down and they pretty much didn’t recontact him to negotiate . He needed more security and felt unwanted by the manager and chairman so moved on

I don't think Ascend's conversation with Amond told us anything we didn't already know about how our club is run.

I blame this on PH who saw fit not to offer Podge a two-year deal but then gave Scott Vernon a two-year deal based on a trial game against Gainsborough Trinity. Whilst PH has found himself in the Championship, I think his judgement is far from perfect.


Up The Mariners!

Cheers. Dunno what Ascend is playing at in here - that information about deal lengths was all common knowledge and was previously commented on publicly by Amond.

Interesting because at the time Hurst claimed to be calling Podge constantly without success. When he did finally get a response Podge said his agent was sorting it, a few days later he signed for the Monkeyhangers.

Few will believe Hurst over Podge I guess but there are always 2 sides to a story!!

At the time there were reservations by the Board and/or Hurst that Amond might not score many goals in Div 2.  This could have coloured their thinking.  There was a comment at the top of this thread that Amond did not score many goals against the best NL teams.

Personally, I do not give any merit to these reservations - but can see how others might do so at GTFC (even if they are wrong).

I hope not. The board shouldn't be having such input into how the Manager builds his squad.

Someone has pm’d me asking to share the info from Podge again, which contained far more than what has tried to be summarised by those who read it.

But, to save people slaughtering me, I’m gonna leave it


Seems it is more about you that anything else tbh
