Wader Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Back to Gordon at Cheshunt. Has he signed Lloyd Opara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Man Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Last week's Ryman bulletin had Opara down as moving from Waltham Forest to Arlesey Town, but a third spell at Cheshunt wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say makes sense, what with Terry Back going from WF to Arlesey. He'd want to take his better players with him, although not sure they'll enjoy the travelling to home games!

Rhodes Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wader - I see that 'your friend' is featured on the Non League Daily Website, is he regretting joining Cheshunt as it has been all doom and gloom for him at Theobalds Lane since his arrival: http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=48383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wader Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 As you've dug this thread up, it is funny to see my post above yours and to consider that Terry Back has now left Arlesey after a brief stay achieved zilch. Quelle surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 A very interesting interview with Wader's 'friend' on Cheshunt's Website, some of his answers seem a little naive although Wader will no doubt lap them up: http://www.cheshuntfc.com/First%20Team/M...w%20030308.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wader Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Sorry to disappoint Rhodes, but I've only just seen this from your link. Thought the questions were a bit repetitive - and thus the answers too. Sounds like impatience there to me. Turning Cheshunt around won't be achieved overnight, but fans can rarely get their head round that. It's like stopping a supertanker on full steam and then sending it in a completely different direction. Time is needed to put that ship in order. From the mess he inherited I think relegation was pretty inevitable. Gordon should be looking to build for the future, not just the next match.

Rhodes Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Wader - I see 'your friend' has been buying some quality players but surely it's far too late in the day: http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=48964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 There is mention of a Lloyd Boateng in Cheshunt's match report from last Saturday, is this a relation of Gordon's: http://www.herald24.co.uk/content/herald/cheshuntfc/story.aspx?brand=EHHOnline&category=SportCheshuntFC&tBrand=HertsCambsOnline&tCategory=SportCheshuntFC&itemid=WEED19%20Mar%202008%2016%3A17%3A51%3A737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onekeown Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Beware the boateng sting. He adds players that he would like to sign as friends on his facebook, then as if like magic, 7 day approaches follow quickly afterwards. Two of my players told me he added them recently and they have never met him, and we have a 7 day approach to to prove it. Is this against the rules??

Wader Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The FA Rule states; 32.ii) Facebook additions can only be determined by the FA's ugliness factor table (see 32.i). Unsavoury additions will not be permitted if their gross nature is above 3.0 on this scale. Additions on a scale of Martin Keown (factor 1.5) will not be permitted under any circumstances as they fall within the general rule of 'bringing the game into disrepute'. Ugly factor Facebook additions above the permitted level of 3.0 will be allowed after completion of the appropriate forms in triplicate, returned to the Hideously Ugly Participants Department at The FA. Due to the volume of enquiries, delays of up to 20 weeks must be expected for approval. Snowed in this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wader Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You're appalled that he has a Facebook page? (I know I am!). Or you're appalled that he puts 7 day approaches in for players? Neither is illegal the last time I checked, although the former should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wader - I see that you were quick off the mark as soon as the Forum went back on line although Ian probably phoned or texted you to let you know. I'm just generally appalled at the way Gordon Boateng goes about his business that's all, I know you think the sun shines out of him and everyone is entitled to their opinion but it all seems a little murky to me. Take for example the way he kept his foot in the door at Brimsdown Rovers when he was at Harlow and then as soon as he got the Cheshunt job he made a bee line for Goldsdown Road to take their three best players to Theobalds Lane.
