Excellent news, I've read good things about Elliott and Morris. Abadaki has lots of pace and can cause problems in a decent team, and Gatter is a favourite of mine as some on here will know.

Some very decent potential signings there. Would have expected Elliott to have had a lot of offers as he's been a regular at step two for the best part of three seasons. Morris, like Elliott, has an impressive number of games under his belt already despite his age. I like Abadaki - a bit mercurial at times but showed good form even during that rotten period under Francino. Five centre-backs on the books now with Charlie back... can we support that within the budget, or will a bit of 'trimming' be going on in pre-season when other triallists become available?

Hi Gaz,

This is all seriously good work well done. Midfield still looks a little short though however I would think you still have irons in the fire.
Any news on Alex Ray Harvey I would really like him back.

Again well done.

Midfield players will be meeting me next week I'm afraid Alex was all set to sign then today has done a u turn as he got a job in Burnley bet he turns up somewhere though but no worries I've got to meet few class acts next week just watch this space good times are on there way

Thank you Gaz.
Honest communication with the fans is much appreciated we haven't had any for a few years now.
Long may it continue and all the very best for the coming season.

any class acts in the the striking department coming in

Sheriff do u have whatsapp I've got couple videos of forwards I'm looking at and I'm happy to forward them over to you m8 plus strikers at this level and above come at a big price which I'm afraid I haven't got 600 plus for players have to pull rabbits out of hats with a small budget I'm afraid but if the supporters want to help pay for a good striker from higher league I'm happy to except anything m8

Well said Gaz but that won't wash with Sheriff.

Seconded, thanks Gaz for your openness and honesty, it’s so refreshing and also gives us a great insight into activities “behind the scenes”

Looking forward to the friendlies and the season ahead and to seeing the team progress under your leadership - all the best from us.

Steve & Sharan K.

Sparkle doesn't come cheap mate and as much as we'd like to sign it Gaz is having to work on a costume jewellery budget.
Even so he has managed to get
5 or 6 players in who could be playing at a higher level and most of the rest are well experienced at our level.
Don't think we could be asking for much more.

I'm meeting some sparkle this week folks and me terry and jasper will try our best to polish it threw the door

That's just teasing Gaz

Just having a catch up on signings. Looks a strong line up with those who have signed. As we all know strikers who regularly score don't come cheap. At least we have an open and transparent communication regarding signings

Hey gary will we be keeping jose veiga or will have a another keeper?

Jose is a very important part of my management team and I rate him highly as a coach and a gentleman

Thanks 4 updates Gaz.
What’s happen with Javan

Alex Harvey joined Stafford

10 miles closer to Burnley then. In all seriousness the NPL probably makes a big difference to him

I’ve not been keeping pace with developments but there were rumours that Strangers were destined for the Southern League. Has the situation changed again?

Strangers probably would have moved had Gateshead been dropped to the NPL as was suggested, but in the end they were only relegated to National North, with Aldershot staying in National League and Oxford City moved back to south from north.
