What about now? 😢

I don’t believe so.

@London Shrimper isnt the type to make stuff up, but I’m not hearing what he has said.

What I will say, is I highly doubt that Kevin Maher would confirm IF this happened, it’s not the best look, and would alert other clubs to potential availability of key players too.

I am somewhat disappointed that a player has been named. The same player was named as a target for Dagenham, and now the same player is being used for this situation. Both stories may turn out to be correct, although both have been denied by the Club, but I don’t like that a name has been put forward, and therefore some “fans” have a potential target to vent their frustrations at, because some will unfortunately.

That same player is on social media, although not very active, so has to potential to see everything that is written about him.

From what I know, London Shrimper has VERY close ties inside the club hierarchy
I’ve got very close ties with friends and acquaintances in my golf club, but I don’t profess to know the innermost matters in their private lives.
But I guess this is where Shrimperzone comes into its own, alongside your Twitter, Tik Tok, Instagram et al, where rumours and counter rumours dominate and keyboard warriors get a kick out of their perceived power of knowing something that can’t be proved or disproved very easily. Still, I suppose it beats Connect4.
 
We all trust Maher with everything, but it's in his best interests to silence any outside noise as much as possible, he would also want to protect Cav if it is true from any possible backlash seeing as he has been named. If he believes Ron can sweep this under the carpet within the next 2 weeks then maybe he's gone with it. Sure we will find out in due time.
Well whatever the situation Cav isn’t on social media as far as I know so hopefully he won’t have a full in tray…..
 
Jeez. Maybe neither are liars. Maybe they are reporting just what they have heard or are aware of.
True, liar was the wrong word to use. But they are both pretty contradictory statements. Hopefully it is case of londonshrimper being passed some inaccurate information (unlikely I know), than Kevin trying to defuse the situation. Although I fear it’s the latter.

If true, I’m not sure it was appropriate to personally name and single out one player, especially when others have done the same.

Fair enough. It could be that a few were talked out of handing it in, or the club refused the resignation. So it could just drop in the middle somewhere.
 
Watching Diversities vlog and how the players have reacted twice now having fallen behind im in the believe Kevin basket, but on saying that theres nothing we can do unless someone here has very deep pockets, so why not we all just relax for two weeks, take a break from all these worries and wait for march1st , go watch the lads play on Saturday ,sing loud sing long and show the lads you are 110% with them .

It certainly is a more appetising approach to waking every morning to reading unsubstantiated rumour effectively posted as fact.
 
IF players want to go .I am sure Glen will cover it on the phones phone in .Thats if he has time after all he has to uses most of the show blowing another club on his show .And we all know what club this is .And it comes from the far side of essex not far from the suffolk border .
 
This isn’t a surprise and is fair enough.

They waited until 14 days before the HMRC court date so I wouldn’t read much into this as we’ll either have the bridging loan and be saved (and the players paid) or the club is wound up and those players who gave their notice leave, as they would have every right to.
 
Perhaps it's not the first team players who have handed letters in. Maybe it's some of the yoofs, who also haven't been paid, have refused to play at least once and who got hamnered 6-1 by Gillingham earlier this week.
Maybe both Kev and @London Shrimper are correct and neither of them are liars, which is an accusation thrown around on here way too often. Just because something turns out not to be correct, it doesnt mean the person lied. They may have fully believed the statement when they said it, but were either mistaken or other events conspired to stop whatever it was happening.

It’s a possibility but he’s singled out Cav Miley, arguably one of our best players as being one of those players. So it does suggest first team tbh.

I’m worried about this as I know that London Shrimper’s sources are very unlikely to be wrong. And I don’t believe a word that Ron Martin says. Maher denying it is different. I really couldn’t see him becoming a little lapdog for Martin and towing the line if he was asked to deny a truthful rumour by his chairman.

The most plausible explanation is it’s happened and Maher hadn’t heard about it yet. But that seems unlikely too so who knows.
