Former Billericay owner Glenn Tamplin takes over Romford FC

[Pink Panther]

Westley is very much his own man so can't see him putting up with an owner who wants to be a manager

I would think most experienced managers who've enjoyed any tangible success would think twice about working for an owner like that. You'd have to be desperate for a manager's job, and he'll want someone with a big name.

You're all forgetting the elephant in the room.

He'll appoint himself, won't he! Otherwise it'll be someone who was relatively successful at a higher level years ago and has been increasingly less successful in each subsequent job. Steve McClaren perhaps!

Surely Konchesky will be manager come next year. Only reason he would have signed.

A possibility, I guess, but why not just appoint him now?

Ego under the guise of 'letting him settle in' I'd imagine - seeing as he's never coached before. Then again, neither has Tamplin?

Gavin. Rose.

Gavin. Rose.

Ha, I see Gavin getting on famously with an intrusive wideboy owner....

Nah m8

Agreed if Westley wanted to manage again at this level, he has the wherewithal to just purchase a club that suits his modus operandi and run it the way he wants it to be run.

I'd like to announce that I am in fact expecting to be announced as Ricay's new manager.

I'll be bringing my own backroom staff comprised of Fitness and Vaping Coach Champion_hill, First-team Coach and Mascot StephenMac, Social Secretary B.I.G, and Physio Dulwich Mishi.

I must admit, I can't wait to get started.

 

[Lucy Fur]

.... First-team Coach and Mascot StephenMac,
.

Seen limbering up for his new role earlier this week:

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

Unfortunately you seem to have thought that money can buy you everything, it now explains the 'bribe' of a donation of DVDs for the raffles on the Dooley Bueses to away games, for which I thank you for, especially the one of Skins which I had never watched...much sexier than the programems of my youth...a Grange Hill on acid!
However, I am afraid I am not in a position to give up my current role as 50/50 seller at Champion Hill, so will have to decline...even though Ricay are CLEARLY in need of a proper 50/50 seller themselves. I hope you can arrange to have the two tickets that were sold to me at the postponed game before it was postponed to be swapped over for two new ones in the draw that evening...as the seller that day made no attempt to find me for a refund.

 

[StephenMac]

Yeah, I quit.

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

Oh dear vicarofsibley only half a backroom team left now? Any quick replacements?

If they'd already sold tickets surely it would make more sense to just do the draw rather than find everyone who bought one for a refund? Wouldn't have been a big prize, but more chance of winning!

What a douchebag.

Shall start taking Project Tamplin seriously when the New Lodge pitch
Is ripped up and replaced with a decent surface rather than the continued investment in building a side fit for National League level. Who's the next new arrival I wonder?

 

[StephenMac]

I've heard they're in for Geoff Hurst, Frank McAvennie and Tony Cottee.

Looking forward to next season's New Money v New Money Then No Money derby between them and Margate.

Like you say Griff, its fine signing these names but they are about as good as i am on shit pitches ( i only want £500 a week)

 

[AverageJoe]

So 7.30pm has been and gone. Is it Cole or O'Hara? Or both? :

 

[B.I.G]

Did anyone ask what happens when the money gets stopped? Madness.

Some notes here from the Billericay Town fans forum tonight - wages up to £20k per week and we even get a mention.

"Billericay have also completed the signing of Hemel Hempstead Town striker Jake Robinson for a fee of £24,000." WTF???

 

[editor]

What?

Dulwich Hamlet match

GT feels ays that this Saturday’s match at Dulwich Hamlet will decide the club’s fate for this season. He says they will have 3,000 fans there and he wants as many fans as possible to get behind the team.

 

[editor]

GT: We are teetering on the edge about Billericay Town being a PR stunt. Mark Wright wants 20% of the club, but doesn’t want to inject any cash – he will bring enhanced media attention instead.

I will bring Mark in if he brings something tangible to the club.

I actually feel sorry for Billericay fans. Whatever success this clown buys is going to be hollow and short lived.

 

[editor]

Oh my Lord. Have you seen their winning badge design?

It's like a cheesy Blue Peter badge.

'a free bar for the next hour'

Bread and circuses indeed...can't wait for Saturday.

There'll be 3,000 there. Tamplin said so.
