Darlo Uncovered

Also I think its one of only a handful to dedicate 2 hours specifically to sport. Other BBC regions offer only hour long shows.

We'll be playing out Simon Davey's press conference at Hereford which took place this morning on BBC Tees Sport tonight after 6. In it, Davey gives his version of events before he left Darlo..when he handed in his resignation and when he first had contact from Hereford. There's also an interview wi...

Only miserable when I hear those b***** trumpets!! I just hope these things don't catch on over here Come on these are part of the unique culture and sound at sport (especially football) in South Africa. You telling me you'll be complaining in 2014 when all you can hear on the TV is Brazilian/South...

I expect only Chandler and Wright will follow up their contract offers, possibly Senior as he has been offered a 2 year full time contract compared to his part-time status at Altrincham. The likes of Jack, Werling, Thompson etc. have no affilliation with the club but do have the Davey connection - s...

Not a bad shout, played the majority of his career at Oxford if I remember rightly.

It is not worth the club pursuing anyway. Circumstantial evidence (on Sunday last, a poster on the Hereford board saying he was their new manager) points to Hereford approaching him, or he them, before he went to America, because he was away in America when the rumour (today shown to be true) broke...

I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt if the 'coaching job in the US' was true....not anymore, he has USED OUR CLUB to lever himself back into the FL at the earliest opportunity!

Simon Davey is confirmed as new Hereford Utd manager

Not that I know but do flights from Florida only fly into Manchester? Surely they fly to other airports too?

They do but why travel to London when Preston is only 30 odd miles from Manchester Airport.

Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere on here or has sneaked under the radar following the Simon Davey saga but Gateshead have added Nathan Fisher from Chester-le-Street to their squad next season, along with a couple of other players (can't remember their names) from Whitley Bay and Team ...

Capello has gone for the tried, tested and failed tactics and squad selection. A regid 4-4-2 and a squad made up of 'big' name experienced Premiership players who just cannot perform in tournaments. Half the players in that squad just want to pick up their paychecks from their respective clubs, and ...

During last season I thought at least if Darlo were relegated (which was on the cards before Christmas), at least I'd be able to watch England put on a decent performance after a very comfortable and confident progression to the finals. This was still the case when we got relegated, and was really l...

Is he one of the ones who doesn't attend games? Seems a bit daft having him as fans' spokesman if so. Yes, due to 'ill health'. Personally I think its about time he stepped to one side and allowed the trust to be represented by people from the trust who attend games and are more active and engaged ...

Its now 11.15, unacceptable!

I would expect so unless a) he resigns and his resignation is accepted b) he leaves after certain assurances were made but have not been honoured (contract broke etc) or c) there is a clause in his contract allowing him to speak to clubs from the football league, for example. C) Would just be our l...

Although disappointing, Simon felt he couldn't ignore the chance to return closer to home coupled with league football and he has stressed that this was the only reason behind his departure. His family home is actually Preston which is alot closer to us than South Wales, can't see location being th...

The more i think of it the more i think Hereford was Davey's first choice around the time he came here, Mark Cooper semed favourite to get the Darlo hotseat, then it went quiet on that front with Hereford favourites to get him,thats when Davey came here If he's done that then he has lost alot of cr...

Maybe its time for that Plan B shelved from about 12 months ago.

If he's given a competitive budget

don't think they physically sign their contracts until 1st july meaning they can back out if they want.

WTF!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! etc Something must be seriously wrong if this is true, I mean a couple of weeks ago all was well in paradise. Now, he's off witout a buy your leave. More than simply not getting the players he wants I think - I mean Hereford aren't exactly ...

I find it even more incredible how at least Johnson was not included in the squad. The other thing about Johnson is that he has no track record of real note for opposition to do homework on. He could have been the X-factor player of our team, a bit lik Owen in the '98 World Cup, I'd have taken John...

The other thing is that this rumour has gone on for 3hrs now without a reply or comment from the club. WE WANT AN ANSWER, WE NEED TO KNOW!!!

If this were true it would just sum up our club! Hopefully this is a load of bull (excuse the joke), but you just can't rule anything out with us unfortunately!

I don't have a problem with the vuvuzelas, infact along with the drum and a few people with vuvuzelas it my just generate a bit more atmosphere at the arena!

Which will be a good base to build on considering relegation to the BSBP- 1,200 season ticket holders plus the match-by-match floaters will give us a decent level of support.

They were in front of a very poor keeper and had a very immobile strikeforce to aim for, oh and crap ineffective and static wingers to spread the ball to. Plus Smith improved, Chandler is a year older and we've dropped a league. But yeah. Don't spoil it Spy. The keeper and piss poor defence were a ...

Think you will find that it wasn't Quakerz who started this rumour, look further down the board....

Maybe I should have started a new thread but as other people have mentioned other defenders in this thread I'll throw another in - Ishmael Yakubu formerly of Barnet has been released. 25 year old so age on his side, was Barnet captain and made over 250 appearances for them. Always rated him when he ...

He didn't say that, no. He said he was loooking for a squad of around 20, plus the 3 new pros. So, around 23. As we had 13 contracted at the time, people assumed 10. We currently have 16 players and if White and Thompson were to arrive we'd have 18, therefore another 4 or 5 to come in. Yeah, a perm...
