Former players...

Looking forward to the revamped Forest Hill Park FC website.
I’m trying to blank that period from my mind. The less said about that the better though I’d rather Meadow had put their hands in their pockets for that rather than the club.
 
Going back a long way but Johnson 'Drax' Hippolyte's son is no. 9 for Hanworth Villa today. Paul Merson's son is no. 10.

Looks like Johnson is watching, the bloke standing almost opposite me looks a bit familiar.

Edited to.add Gareth Barry's son played for Littlehampton Town.

Johnson Hippolyte....now there's a blast from the past.
 
Ex loanee keeper Jamie Pardington has signed for Grimsby until January 2023. He was released by Wolves over the summer.

He's only 25, if he keeps up scoring at this rate he's going to get a very decent pro contract at the end of the season I reckon

It's definitely looking that way. He was getting rave reviews on BBC Radio Scotland at the weekend. He's on a two-year contract but could easily end up getting a move up a level in the summer if he carries on the way he is.

Ayr United are professional, but take your point. You might even see an SPL team take a punt on him in the January window. That would probably put him on £50k a year, outside of the Old Firm (and I can't see Rangers or Celtic going for him quite yet)
 
Poor man management...
That’s an assumption. I believe he is a changed character since becoming a father.
Did you have any interaction with him off the pitch at Dulwich to be able to apportion blame on everyone else?
He has done very well and is now fulfilling his potential which is great. Maybe what happened at Dulwich was a wake up call. If so, it was good for him

Oh I didn't say he was blameless. Part of management is about getting the best out of your employees - and the way he was treated by continually being shunted out to the wings to accommodate inferior replacements would get most people annoyed, or subbed off when another player had been red carded.

Moreover given the absurd player turnover and how some players could be frozen out was such a regular feature of the previous management regime it does not appear to me that was one of their strengths. Had that management actually communicated things with people as opposed to only speaking to the South London Press when we'd had a win (a rare commodity in recent seasons) or wanted more money for even more players perhaps people may have a fuller picture...but if there's information you're privy to and the rest of us aren't that you can't put in the public domain without causing trouble then fair enough.

From your last sentence I think we're in agreement though that it is good to see him doing well as there is a player there.
