poaching players

What are the rules about sides approaching other players as we had the moshdock manager approach one of our players before and after the game which I think is wrong today

What player was it

Are you really asking if that's allowed or not? Perhaps he should go through the players agent instead?

From FA Regulations

PLAYERS WITHOUT WRITTEN CONTRACTS

(vii) a Club which is the subject of a complaint alleging failure to give notice
in accordance with this Rule may be subject to a charge of Misconduct
pursuant to Rule E1(b);

I have spoke to our manager and he is adamant it did not happen like this.

He said he told the player he thought he was quality to which the player replied "Put in 7 days for me then" at which point they had a little laugh and that was that.

So from our point of view that is that.

Who was it

not the first time andy has done it as he done the same 3 years ago.
so beware anyone with a decent player or two andy will be on the prowl.

I didnt see any decent players at webbys a few weeks ago other than bainsy

Actually, i have had think, and the young lad who played in midfield and scored a 30 yard top corner goal after 1 min was a good player, although after you went about 5 down he got the hump cus nobody else around him was any good around him!!!! I hope moshdock put 7 days in for that kid

I think Webbys have a fairly decent team, they've been around for years and always have a good set of lads.

I think the reason they have never perhaps progressed is down to not getting the same set of lads out week in week out. But it's not for the lack of effort from management team.

I'm not sure who they have this year, but I was particularly impressed with Keaton Towers last, quite young but was a good player.

Andy has asked me to post on his behalf as he is extremely disappointed with what is being said about him and also the club.

In no way did he 'approach' one of your players. He went to talk to Jamie Clements who he has known for a long time, and the player in question was standing next to him. Andy said he thought he was a quality player to which the player said 'put seven days in for me then' and as I said, they had a laugh and that was it.

It seems to me you may be being a bit over protective. The said player is a very good player but we are more than happy with out current squad.

Please stop dragging both Andy's and clubs name through the dirt. Thanks.
