It's damn hard you know Easy to say this and that and when you you get it wrong you go online and say yeah they have been brilliant I got it wrong COYD. For me it's COYD and let the board who let's face it without them we wouldn't have the facility to argue decide where we go

It's not simple, it's difficult.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't play Football Manager.
It's not possible for any of us to get out there and do better because the board haven't appointed us as manager.
If they ever did I think most, if not all, of us would be terrible at it, not that this is in any way relevant.
It is perfectly valid to have an opinion about whether someone is doing a good job without having to do the job yourself.
I agree it's easy to "say this and that" and this forum is exactly the right place to do so. I hope people will be thissing and thatting all of next season.
As yet, nobody has EVER said "yeah they have been brilliant" or had reason to do so, but if they ever are brilliant then it would be churlish not to come on here and say so.
Your last sentence lost me a bit, but I agree we owe our board a hell of a lot and I will be forever grateful, even if I occasionally disagree with some of their decisions.

However, I have already said my piece so whatever and wherever we are, next season is a new beginning and I'm definitely up for the COYD bit.

Spike, you've got to understand I wake up and think OMG what have I written. Parky will explain.

As I say, I'm only expressing an opinion. If Bonner stays I will be happy. I'm sure he will stay. So why are you getting so stressed. I don't think the two managers are adventurous/exciting enough to think too far outside of PP to ratchet up a challenge next year. I hope they prove me wrong.
Yes, the board are doing a great job by keeping the club working, but I'm not talking about the board.
And, what is Football Manager?
I am sure players are heading for the door just cos Ozy has voiced his opinion.

Here goes........
Most of the time (and at every game) Arthur's pissed, talks nonsense and then denies everything.
The rest of the time when he is sober he does the same thing.

I think that this is the most honest and truthful comment that I have ever read on this forum!!

The following players have signed for next season:

Lee Noble

Ryan Hayes

Ronnie Vint

Ben Greenhalgh

Andy Pugh

Charlie Sheringham

The following players are out of contract and have been offered new deals and we await a decision:

Tom Bonner

Daniel Johnson

The following players have been invited back for pre-season to assess their fitness ahead of a potential deal being offered:

Tom Murphy

Billy Crook

Callum Driver

Mark Onyemah

The following players have been released by the club:

Delano Sam-Yorke

Kudus Oyenuga

Louis Wells

Dartford FC would like to thank ,Delano , Kudus and Louis for their service during their time here, and wish them every success in the future.

The following loan players have returned to their parent clubs, we thank them for their service during their stay:

Jordan Wynter

Andre Coker

Darren McQueen

I'm not really surprised by any of those decisions. There are clearly doubts about the fitness of those who were injured at the end of the season and it would have been wrong to offer contracts to, for example, Mark or Billy, only for them to be out for months if they require surgery.
Personally I hope Tom Bonner does sign, but feel less sure about Dan Johnson.

I'm not sure Tom Murphy will be too happy being invited back for pre-season 2 x years running, he's not injured??
Surely they must know what he's capable of by now??

Happy with that good to see Ryan on the list,hopefully Tom and Dan sign will sign and I think Tom Murphy has a lot more to offer.

Has wynter signed a new deal at Maidstone or is he currently without club? Would like to see him return
