Former players...

So a rival have lost a key player on the eve of the season kicking off?
Well played, Agent Okuonghae. Well played.
I'm not sure he's a "key player". He seems to have played a fairly limited part in their pre-season so far with Jay Rich Baghuelou and former Bromley and Billericay captain Rob Swaine as the first choice centre backs, which may be why he's made this decision. (Again!)
Brilliant! Did he give the money back that he has been paid so far?
Part-time contracts generally don't start until the week of the first league match so I doubt he's been paid anything.

Interesting. I didnt know players didnt get paid for pre-season. Thank you :)

This is at part-time clubs, of which Welling is one. Contracts generally run for 40-42 weeks from the opening league Saturday until the final league match or play-off match depending on the success of the season.

At full-time clubs contracts generally run from July 1 to June 30 the following year. This was discussed and explained by Ben Clasper at the open supporters meeting a couple of months back in relation to our own club switching to a full-time regime.
 
Went to Beckenham Town v Punjab Utd on Saturday - Ash Carew was in the stand in a Beckenham tracksuit but didn't play. Laurent Hamici started for Punjab but had to go off early on with a nasty looking shoulder injury.
 
Erhun, along with other senior Bolton players, apparently refused to play for Bolton today. Their fans are in absolute meltdown, although I can't quite understand why, given that they hadn't been paid for the past five months.

I thought his decision to move to Bolton was an odd/agent-driven one, but it's turning out to be catastrophic.

Charlton wanted to take him last January but Bolton blocked it as they couldn't sign a replacement. They held him to his contract, then failed to fulfil their own obligations if they haven't paid him and others for 5 months.

Other former players I've spotted in today's Isthmian Premier teams:

Billy Crook - East Thurrock United
Michael Kamara - Carshalton Athletic
Roman Michael-Percil - Wingate & Finchley

Serves Billy Crook right.
 
Chambers came on in 53rd minute for Wrexham. They were 1-0 up though down to ten men at that point. Ended up losing 2-1. He’s been an unused sub in the previous two League games.
 
Unless it has changed the standard League contract permits players to resign after three months non payment. They have to offer fourteen days notice so the club can try to pay them / sell them etc. I'm surprised Bolton still have five senior players sadly.

Unfortunately Erhun will be in an awful negotiating position if he leaves Bolton now

I feel sorry for Erhun being stick in that position. Hope he can find another club soon. He'd always be welcome back at Dulwich :)

A terrible negotiating position on a free transfer?
 
I know it won't happen, I know that, but wouldn't it be nice to see Erhun back in se22? Even if we just take him on until he finds a new club.
 
Exactly. Free transfer and outside of the transfer window - I think he'll have a lot of offers.
I'm sure there are clubs who would like to have him, it depends whether they can afford to match his Bolton contract. The window has only just closed so I would imagine most clubs will already have the players they feel they need within their budget.
