I don't have a problem with it if we sneakily signed a player. Woking were stupid for releasing his registration. Football is cut throat and although it's immoral, I don't really care.

What I do care about is a person that's in the national press preaching fairness, equality and respect yet actions of signing players like this and offering minimum wage jobs are not at all in line with what he's publicly saying.

This absolutely sounds like a Fenty move. And the knives would have been out the second that video was released.

This is why I think Woking aren't quite telling the truth. Surely you would retain his registration and say he can move on a free to a part-time team lower down the pyramid if he chooses to but anyone at this level must pay.

So you're saying the board knew about the conversation between JMD and Woking then?...don't be so soft in the head, if JMD did say something along the lines of his head wasn't in football it was probably more to do with the fact he was drunk off with Wokings style of play rather than that being fed up with football per se...
And I have no doubt Hurst(certainly not the owners who admit they leave all football decisions to the management) was not privy to any conversation that's led to JMDs Woking contract being cancelled.

Approaching a contracted player during the season is against the rules. They used to make a big deal about players being "tapped up". We needed Woking's permission to talk to him, which clearly they didn't know about it, or we were being unethical and breaking the rules/law.

You're soft in the head if you think he left them and signed for us the next day without any contact being made between us and his representatives before he asked to leave.

Did I say no contact was made??..no I didn't, I pulled you up on alleging we knew of his reason (again an alleged reason) of how his contract was cancelled.
And who's to say his agent didn't contact Hurst and let him know he was fed up at Woking and would be open to signing for town if he could get his contract cancelled?..
Pipe, shove it and smoke it!..always 2 stories to be told and one thing I do know, we'll never be made aware of the facts and tvh, I don't give a sh,!t as long as he gives 100% whilst wearing a town shirt

Spoken like a true Fenty regime apologist.
