Its interesting to note, and to confirm Hurstys decision to let them go, that the majority of those who were released when their contracts were up, have signed for teams further down the pyramid.

Another reason to trust Hurst to make these decisions. He obviously could see that they were not a viable option for league 2, and also the majority were not good enough to play in the National League either.

I would imagine the 'undisclosed' fee would be an absolute minimum amount, but then again do the buying team still have to buy up the remainder of his contract including wages, which I would summise as being maybe £500 a week? That could mean upto £25k if it does.

What do we think the fee was. My guess is between 5 and 15k. I can't imagine it would be much more as we probably are just happy to get him off the books.

Good luck to him, not sure I get all of the negative comments on here though.

He was big enough to say he wasn’t happy and wanted away, not sure there’s anything wrong with that as long as a player behaves and isn’t disruptive and I don’t think there is evidence of that here.

You would imagine we’ll see a new arrival soon I guess.

More money to pay Fenty off. I wonder how much is left to pay him off completly.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Bang average I am completely indifferent on this one.
Wish him well for the future I’m think the National League is probably better for him and best for everybody.

He wasn't good enough for us in the conference. Looked very dodgy when he did play. Best of luck to him at the daggers.

Getting him off the wage bill to being in someone else is brilliant. To get a fee for him? Incredible work

Not a surprise.

Never really wanted to be here and PH doesn't want anyone not fully committed to the cause.


With players moving, I'm always surprised how nasty some comments are.

So here is a question:  How do you know DLK  "never wanted to be here" ? Had he tweeted that?
PH had signed him and didn't find a place for him in the playing squad. He takes some of the blame surely? It happens.
Looking at his tweets, it's all praise and thanks for the Club and Fans. So why the static?

£5 and a bag of pork scratching.
All joking aside, good business for all parties involved regardless of the fee.

Yeah, I don't get the negativity either. All the best to him. Came back to training with the squad even though he knew he wasn't in PH's plans. Praised the fans in a Tweet today too.
