That Higgsy tweet - "it was a good experience" 
Former players...
- Thread starter Dulwich Mishi
- Start date
Why would it be on our Twitter? The player was made an offer by us but is out of contract. He has signed for somebody else but doesn’t have to tell us before doing it as he is over 24 and is free to do what he pleases.

Pity I think he was one of six we needed to keep.
I'd rather him not be playing against us. We will see what happens when we play Dover!

Not sure of your problem with this though. The way it works is that there is nothing the club could do to ensure that they did know.
This is not uncommon and nothing knew.
It happens everywhere and always has.

I don’t know maybe thanking him for his service (as he was on the shortlist for poty). As the player himself as done. You know just keeping supporters informed. We’ll agree to disagree. The supporters aren’t kept up to date with departures or arrivals. It’s been said here so many times about the appalling communication. You believe the club isn’t doing it badly. I’m afraid I do

If a player the club wanted to keep and made an offer to stay doesn't tell them he's turning that offer down and is signing with another club as, you know, a courtesy, I'd say that's less than ideal?
Comms are bad yes. Club have accepted this.
They are addressing this (or so I am led to believe). We will see whether this or isn’t addressed.
In the situation above. Player is out of contract and it’s quite possible that the club found out the same time you did via twitter.
As the club have noted. They don’t have someone sat there watching twitter all day.
I would have liked to keep him, I am pretty sure he would have had an offer but he has moved on for whatever reason. Pretty sure lack of comms to fans wasn’t the reason.

I'd say that's an absolute cert.
Let me put it another way. You've got someone who works for you who has been an important part of your team for 18 months or so. Their contract is due to expire so you offer them another one. They decide to take another offer, but the first time you find out is them announcing their new place of work.
Would you be disappointed they didn't contact you first to let you know?

Didn't know there was one. I was trying to find a diplomatic situation tbf. Most unlike me. Sorry, won't do that again.

Think they need a better quality player to survive in NLS. Gave his all when he played, don't get me wrong

They’ve also signed Jake Robinson and Adam El Abd. Both probably in the twilight of their career

Will be sorry to see Higgs go. I thought he looked more than capable when given opportunities in the middle, especially given the way that he was constantly shunted around the pitch. He did a good job at full back too. As others have noted, he is the sort of player we really should be holding onto.
I've now heard how much he was allegedly offered by Dover and, if true, it is undoubtedly than any player at Dulwich is paid. Money talks at every level of the game and I would not be surprised to see others not return if they get those type of offers. We have to accept that we will only have an average budget because the club will not accept "investment" that would make it unsustainable if (when) that person takes their money back or refuses to put more in. It's an unexciting strategy but it will keep the club safe and those who own/run it should always see their role as its guardians for the next generation.

Higgs will need the pay rise for trains when he gets stuck in Operation Stack three times a week on the M20!

We have just signed Lewis White, any opinions of him??

Academy produced player with pace and touch, and probably the sort who looks great at five a side. I didn't think he had a lot of game intelligence in terms of decision making, and he seemed to be a bit of a project player for a while. Seemed to lack confidence and not sure he's got it at this level. He'll probably score loads now I've written this but I wouldn't be getting excited by this signing.

Think they are referring to this from Liam.
“As they have freed up budget to employ somebody and are carrying out interviews I’d suggest they are doing something and making a concerted attempt to address failings that became obvious last season.
Surprising though it may seem, the people responsible for sorting out pre season fixtures and getting officials in place for them are doing their job and so are those who get players registered to play. Their job is not to manage the club’s social media.”
