Tomorrow.
Contracts for current players announced....I think everyone gets one....maybe not vilethe.
Demi player coach role.
Then new faces get announced.
 

Demi is already listed as a coach on the club website.

Surely Vilehte has earned a job until the end of the season, he has played pretty much everywhere and has been as good as others in our thin squad

I thought he was retiring at the end of this season

Isn't he Dual-Registration? So we'd need to agree with something with Hayes and Yeading I presume?

The correct order to do it too.

Vilhete isn’t good enough unfortunately. Sentimental part of me feels he should be rewarded for showing up during a **** time for the club.. but then I just think we need to get guys in that are better than just willing to show up

I'd thank him for his help during a torrid time and then send him back as I replace him with someone superior.

He's as average as anything. Appreciate him filling in, but he's not the calibre of player we require to get out of this league.

Agreed. I remember him playing in the league for Barnet many years ago and struck me as a similar player to Campbell Ryce. Unfortunately his best days are well behind him.

If we want to get out of this division the we have to aim higher.

Sentiment is nice but doesn't win promotion.

 

[Ricey]

Isn't he only 30?

 

[Smiffy]

The correct order to do it too.

Indeed. All well and good welcoming new faces, but we need to reward the familiar ones that stuck by us first.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

In Vilhete's case didn't he say he was hoping he could earn a contract here OR use his time here to earn a contract elsewhere.

I hope he gets the latter, as I agree he hasn't got enough to offer in a full strength squad here, but I will never forget what he has done for us when we needed him and will always wish him well.

No he said he wants to finish his career with us

I do not think the management team signed Vlihete simply just because he was "willing to show up".

He said in a recent interview with the Echo that he would like to end his playing career with us.

 

[Rob1920]

I’d keep Vilhete til the end of the season to keep the numbers up. We’re not going to be signing 7 or 8 players over the next month or so, the squad will probably still be small by normal standards for the rest of the season.

I'm happy for him to be included. He's played his part as all of them have. What you've said is what I fear, our bunch of hero's will soon be forgotten and we'll look for 'better' players that might mot have the same team ethic

 

[Shrimper]

Vilhete should be kept as a depth option. He's versatile and can be brought on to close games down.

I don't think our management team will let that happen.

They are very clear about signing the right personality as much as the quality

what he said. We haven’t even signed anyone yet and we’re talking about getting rid?

He’s obviously cheap so I’d keep him as utility cover, last 10 off the bench when we’re slowing things down etc
