It's a shame it hasn't worked out for Adam at Brentwood, he's a decent guy who gave his all when wearing a Darts shirt.The Futures White wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:52 pm Brentwood have parted company with Adam Flanagan.
Re: Dartford Players of The Past
That he did. The management combo was an undeniable fail, but that doesn't diminish the huge contribution that both Flanners & Coyley made as players. Good luck to Adam, I hope he goes on to better things.
Re: Peter Taylor
Welling let Steve King go solely because they couldn’t afford to supply the substantial budget he demands anymore. Generally wherever he’s been he puts together a great squad but it also generally comes with a higher cost than the average budget. Dartford have better finances than Welling I hope they are good enough to sustain SKs ambitions.
Re: Peter Taylor
I think what alot of other clubs fans seem to forget Is that the reason we have " better finance's" is due to alot of hard work behind the scenes, we haven't had a rich sugar daddy come in and buy us up the league's like some other clubs have in our league.

Dartford are better run than Welling, but then again, so were Lehman Brothers.Buzz stop wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:03 pmWelling let Steve King go solely because they couldn’t afford to supply the substantial budget he demands anymore.

Re: Peter Taylor
Absolutely, and some clubs fail because the aforementioned sugar daddy wants to play Championship Manager with real players and can't help meddling in team affairs.
Re: Peter Taylor
A manager can't DEMAND a bigger budget, he can only ask for one. Any manager who is not constantly seeking to improve the team is failing in his duty, any board of directors that acquiesce to financial requests beyond the club's means are failing in theirs. Fortunately, we don't have either problem at Dartford even though some people would like to believe otherwise.Buzz stop wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:03 pmWelling let Steve King go solely because they couldn’t afford to supply the substantial budget he demands anymore.

Re: Peter Taylor
I really do wonder how you know what the budgets are or were at the clubs Steve's been at, I have absolutely no idea and i very much doubt you do either.Buzz stop wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:03 pmWelling let Steve King go solely because they couldn’t afford to supply the substantial budget he demands anymore.

What i do know for certain is DFC is run 100% legitimately and is as secure as any football club in the country, something we are very proud of and i doubt can be said of hardly any other clubs, especially at our level.
Steve has assembled a very impressive squad for us, a testament to his professionalism and knowledge of players so to say it's just down to his demands for a substantial budget are totally wrong. It's down to bloody hard work on his part and an extremely well run financially secure club that provides a guaranteed competitive budget (not reduced during the season) and in light of recent events this has proved to be just as an important factor.
I always enjoy the matches against Welling but they are in a real mess at the moment and with the current dual owners of the club looking at the development projects as their main focus, i hope they can secure their future.
As for Peter Taylor, a genuinely decent guy who may find that outside interferences may make his task more difficult than it already is.
Re: Peter Taylor
Please correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Welling cut Steve King's playing budget about Christmas time of his one and only season at the bus stop and he still managed to get them into the play off final? That says a lot more for Steve King’s ability to build a quality team then it does for Mark Goldberg’s financial acumen in setting a sustainable budget. Mind you, Goldberg had a little bit of well publicised previous at Crystal Palace…Buzz stop wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:03 pmWelling let Steve King go solely because they couldn’t afford to supply the substantial budget he demands anymore.

Re: Peter Taylor
Correct. One or two players got released but what upset SK was he had to get rid of some of his back room staff. I think SK and Goldberg fell out big time after that. It’s testament to how good that squad was that they still made the playoffs.Skip wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 9:34 pmPlease correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Welling cut Steve King's playing budget about Christmas time of his one and only season at the bus stop and he still managed to get them into the play off final?

I’m not knocking anyone here. I’m a big admirer of SK and of clubs that are run as clubs and not the toys of Sugar daddies.
The Dartford team that destroyed Welling the other week looks the strongest in this division since Jamie Day’s Welling team that won 12 games on the bounce on their way to the title.
Dartford will win this league by a country mile. IMO.
Re: Peter Taylor
I think the talk of us having a big budget is pure jealous but what annoys me is it does a disservice to Steve King himself, he works bloody hard going to games watching players and teams which shows how committed he is to the club that pays his wages,
Dartford are where they are today through sheer hard work and know how of the game on the part of Steve King nothing to do with budgets, and I believe Kingy and Dartford Fc are a perfect match and he can take us far.
