morganb Hoilett leaves Aberdeen


Shame - we've had some pretty dire freeloading players recently, but Hoilett was never one of those!

In a season where Aberdeen were a complete shower of shit, Hoilett was about the only player to consistently play like he'd actually seen a football before.

morganb Cambridge City's new First Team Manager is Jamie Cureton

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ar ... 1krg0o.amp
and at 47, still registered to play, CC have a whole new ground at Sawston, but ‘red-tape’ means no home games until October.

(Edit), 5-1 winners today in the FA Cup park team stakes.


Elsewhere, Sean Long moves to FGR

He was supposedly offered a new deal there, so suggests they still thought he was good enough for the Scottish Premiership (so he's probably still a good League One-level player). I do wonder if he would be interested in coming back here, if we had the chance to sign him. Perhaps he's one of the four we were supposed to have lined up after the takeover concludes?

Not sure if a trialist or not but it looked like Alex Pearce turned out for Bracknell Town in their friendly against Ramsgate on Saturday

Don’t think you’d insult a player with his background by suggesting they have a trial ! Most players at Southern League level play on match to match deals anyway so they come and go at clubs all the time.

Believe Bracknell listed 2 triallists in their final preseason game on Saturday. If Alex was termed as a triallist it maybe a "red tape" thing used at this stage if he hasn't actually signed. Just have to watch the Bracknell social media and see, be quite a coup to sign him given he was in the FL last season, even though he's 36 in November.

Pearcey strikes me as the sort who'd maybe make a good coach. Not quick or naturally skillful, so had to make it through hard work and learning to read the game well.

If he goes that way would like to have him back some day.

He's gone to Hibs, so we won't be getting him.

He’s already managed in the Championship so does seem he might be interested in that side of the game
