I understand the reasons behind not announcing anything before the forms are all signed and sealed, but as a football fan this is so boring and frustrating every team seems to be announcing signings or friendlies, and with what you are saying we are going to have to wait until mid July for news! With the pathetic season we have just endured in my opinion we should be whipping up exciting transfer news, to keep fans interested? Just my view anyway
and if we did announce a major signing this week, I suppose you would be really happy if another club approached the player next week and offered him more money? It’s hapenned before!
That’s Non League football unfortunately, it happens whether you announce it or not!
Take your point about whipping up excitement. However the club will not change its policy on this approach to announcing of signings.
Scott is on holiday at the moment so there would be no movement anyway until he is back.
As for friendlies the list has not yet been finalised.
Sadly Non league football isn’t the full time job of most of those involved at the club. End of May and June is the time when people get a much needed rest from doing stuff for Witton in their own time. Therefore it is a quiet time. Some of the other clubs you talk about that are announcing things have saddo’s in charge of their comms who have nothing else to do with their days other than hang round their respective clubs!
Some of them want to try working for a living as well and/or having a family. Or Witton need to go down the route of Fylde and employ someone on a full time basis to do it!
Don’t forget the Comedy club tonight is the last one before september, and it’s just a tenner.
Don’t really see what the problem is!! The manager has already stated he will be raiding the former Norton United for players!! I do hope though he keeps Daniel (Aguero) Andrews, Jon Shaw and Jon Dawson and hopefully Joshua Hancock!! I’m sure Oggie will come up with some players too he knows where its at!!
Well coming from twitter ( Simmo ) it says we will be announcing some new signings next week According to our chairman, boy do we need some good news ?
