Cherries in Sheringham swoop (From Bournemouth Echo)

If he's half as good as the old man sign him up Bradders.

"Following an article in a national newspaper today (Saturday), Dartford FC would like to confirm that they have received an offer from AFC Bournemouth for Charlie Sheringham, which has been accepted at club level.

Company Chairman Bill Archer said "Charlie Sheringham has been informed of the offer from AFC Bournemouth, and is currently taking advice from his advisors with regards to this. Charlie is really happy at Dartford FC; he doesn't need to go away and leave and we will hang on to him if possible, but we will not stand in his way to progression if he chooses to move on."

Lets hope he can hit double figures in this league.

With Charlie and Wes Thomas lets start banging in the goals.

Two pacey strikers up front and we could of won the game yesturday, MK Dons centre backs would of got turned inside and out.

It just shews how players develop at different rates and how difficult it is to spot a winner, we lost out on Tubbs and Sheringham once and , couldn't bring Tubbs back but seem to have succeeded with Sheringham. Can vaguely remember him here and it will be interesting to see how he has developed. For me it's right to continue with Eddie Howe's strategy of finding young players with skill, potential and a good attitude and character and develop them and am encouraged that the Club is continuing with this policy - hopefully they will hang on to them a little longer this time though.

Kicked out of AFCB once, now being begged to come back!

Funny old world.

He was named Blue Square Bet South player of the month for September 11, so obviusly doing well there now, having moved around a bit previously. As you say S.O.C. different development rates - and a lot to live up to because of his name.

If he signs I hope he is allowed time to adjust to the pace & standard of League 1.

With Gazza acknowledging the Club on radio this morning, on we could end up with Gazza, Teddy & Darren A. all in the stands, a sight in itsef for local Spurs fans!

I assume this would be as a result of Steve Gritts work, if so an interesting one on which to **** his judgement - positively I hope.

"Sheringham, the son of former Manchester United and England forward Teddy, played 90 minutes in Dartford's FA Cup third qualifying round win over Cray Wanderers on Saturday. Ironically he would be suspended for the next round after collecting his fifth caution of the season during the game."

Sheringham is a skillful and intelligent player - but like his Dad, isn't the quickest of players, but has a good eye for the goal. Symes and Thomas have pace and should, once Symes is fully fit, be our front two. Once Baudry recovers from his hamstring problem and Shaun McDonald is fit we will have a powerful defence with Zubar able to play at right back and Molesley challenging for mid field. .

Sorry guys, but let's get a grip here, we have signed a "Conference South" player.

It's a huge step up for the "lad". Another great "swoop" on the CHEAP.

Still I hope it works out fot him and the club, lert's see.

Not sure where the **** came from, believe I put in 'assess'. No slight on Steve Gritt intended.

The Russian's must be investing, that's 2 non league players signed in week!

From Havant & Waterlooville + Dartford, wow the rest of League 1 must be getting worried.

Hey Edmund it must be the nice car park, changing rooms & ice bath that's managed to attract these "non league" players to us.

Spending money on these things instead of keeping together our squad from last year and getting in proven league players, all makes sense now.

So when you put a wage cap on players, whilst spending money on needless refurbs around the ground and paying your own company's to do the work, all comes together, a master plan.

You are such a clueless prat!

Get the facts on car park, refurb etc before mouthing off again!

A lot of the players went because they wanted too, or would you prefer keeping them not getting money for them and also not getting the performance from them due to keeping them! Braindead we had no choice, have you heard of someone called Tevez?

There was never a chance of the players staying - the Board had decided in July 2010 to sell them off, just days after some of them joined the Club - this is recorded in the Club's Accounts and was the justification for continuing to trade whilst insolvent. We can only hope that the financial position now is good enough to be able to reward players for success and to keep them happy and shew it has ambition, instead of threatening to reduce their salaries and encouraging them to leave. But, the form this Season and the loss of players has cost the Club a third of it's support and we are losing money each week as a result.. Tevez has been trouble where ever he has gone and you can keep players, providing you treat them fairly. Harry is shewing this with Moderic this Season. As for the "Russian" Investment - the due diligence etc was completed many days ago and the announcement was scheduled for the 1st October, we can only assume that there are "snags" that are delaying completion - and I think that "no news" is good news, may not apply in this case.

If Edmond is so good to work for then why did any of them leave?

Have you ever worked for an 'Edmond' company? Nuff said!

DansAFCB, Always desperate to defend the "Mitchell line".

Anything that is said against the party line and you result to abusive words.

Also my little "Mitchellite friend" I have my facts perfectly correct re the car park / other needless works that were carried out whilst the club was "trading insolvently".

As for players "wanting" to leave this is not the case at all and if the club was being run properly from a financial view point then we would have kept the majority at the club. Most of them were made uncomfortable at the club and not offered an alternative to stay.

Mitchell put them up in the shop window to sell as many as he could, as he knew what a mess we were in financially, whilst telling supporters we were debt free.

So how can you possibly continue to defend the party line... "PRAT".

nope you are definately the "PRAT" get your facts straight first

Hope the boy Sheringham canm form a partnership with Wesley named man of the match in Football League Paper today

The are several examples of clubs that have sold promising players and not replaced with experience so we are no different to the trend I'm afraid

I am convinced we have some decent players it is the manager's in experience that we should be concerned about, BBC Final Score reporter described Cherries first half performance 'squeezing the life out of MKD'

The Russian "investment" was never there to start with, just Mitchell spin, so I guess you could say it's hit a "snag"....

That's a "fact", but again I expect to get slagged off by the pro-Mitchell's (yet again).

But if Edmund said that there were Russian investors, then I guess it must be true, right guys?.... Just like previous statements...."we are debt free and have money in the bank" (at the sametime as according to the club's own "accounts", trading insolvently).

Mitchell is full of the brown stuff, just like DansAFCB and the other cronies that toe the Mitchell line.

Lets get the facts about the car park correct once and for all shall we. In September 2011 the club announced a new 50 year lease on the council owned car park at the Seward Stadium. The previous license had lapsed meaning the club had become tenants at will, but last season's refurbishment secured the new deal. The development of the car park was something which AFCB were contracted to do and if they hadn't undertaken to do the work it would have jeopardised AFCB's usage on a matchday and during the week. So 2 grand a year seems quite a paltry sum really doesn't it!

Car Park is the least of this club's worries, so why focus on it? Seems a sore point.....but the pro-Mitchell's seem to focus on it, as there is pre-prepared "party line" statement to follow.

I know different & real reasons & costs for it, but again, I'll expect to get slagged off.

Did the lease for the changing rooms expire as well and they had to have works carried out so the team could continue to use them? (which also stipulated new ice-baths).

That must have been the reason, otherwise why would you spend monies on that type of refurb whilst trading insolvently?.... lol.

You mentioned the car park not me - so who is focusing on it?

You mentioned it - so who is actually focusing on it - you or me. If you don't want people to focus on it, quite simple - don't mention it!

Wow the car park subject hits a nerve with the "Mitchellites".

When and "IF" we get a full set of "audited accounts, then things will become a little clearer.

Where did Kevin Bond get Marvin Bartley from? A team so low I can't remember. 4 years on, The Sun gave him man of match for Burnley on Saturday. Stop being obsessed with where the signings come from!!! They all have to start somewhere! Do you remember signing Efan Ekoku from non-league Sutton and selling him for £750k? If they're better than the level they're playing at, they come to the attention of higher league clubs!!! That's how the transfer system works! Doh!!!!

So many of comments like this come from people who still live with mummy and daddy and have never had to pay a bill or budget in their life. So much too learn. If I'm wrong, then Oh Dear - boy do you have a problem!

Again, shame you guys have to slag people off because you don't have the intellect to handle someone that has a different view........

Unfortunately we're dealing with someone who hasn't the intellect to think around issues and take multiple angles rather than just one.The problem is the tunnel vision, churning out the same old stuff, rather than looking at things from a different angle, using a different perspective. I agree, on the face of it, a car park and dressing room refurb when trading insolvently is crazy! But if the car park had to be done to comply with the council, then no choice. If the dressing rooms hadn't been done, could we have had an issue with Health and Safety, were there maintenance issues that needed sorting out that made a refurb more cost-effective? If no, then ask questions, but how do you know for sure. If you don't work at the club how could you know? The ice-bath is a known way to prevent injuries (I don't know how it works, am no expert), but we're not the only club to use it. If the number of injuries after a year of using it means no change, then ask questions absolutely. Every club has to spend on non-field related things, I have no idea why it keeps getting brought up. Or maybe it's because the teams form is slowly starting to pick up and defeats can't be used as a stick to beat the chairman or manager with. I couldn't care less who the chairman is, as long as he's doing things for the clubs future. The on-pitch antics were a disgrace, I hope it never happens with any other chairman. But we've always been a selling club and not entirely sure why people think that has changed. We sell to pay other bills, not to pay out huge transfer fees. If we had more support it would be different. Nothing has changed in my 29 years of supporting AFCB, we sell, then find players from lower leagues or higher leagues reserves and sell them on for a few quid. We pay some bills, then find a few more and do the same again. What is so difficult to understand? It's easy. When we start owing more than we can sell players for, we end up in admin, or liquidation. What's so difficult to understand? It's easy. Get a full house every home game, including south end and it would be different. But we don't so have to cut our cloth accordingly. That's the point about budgeting. Simples!!

I was going to attempt a reply to this about Max and his comrades but just can't be bothered as it is beyond explaining to you (again); i will just look forward to your retracted statement in due course.

Red'n'black what a long post wow!

Listen you along with many others have been taken in by the Mitchell spin and web of lies.

Incorrect the car park didn't really have council tennancy / lease conditions and the changing rooms didn't have to be refurbished for health & safety issues, just the usual spin.

Still it will all come out eventually and you guys who are blinkered will feel pretty bad about doing nothing and just accepting all the stuff fed to you.

"doing nothing"? What are we supposed to do then? We have no choice but to carry on supporting our chosen Football Club, through thick and thin. Sure we'd all buy the club if we won Euro Millions but that isn't going to happen so let's all just shut the **** up and get behind the team! I hate Mitchell too but there's nothing I can do about it. We have a bunch of misfits but they nearly pulled it off on Saturday in spite of it. We'll win on Saturday for sure so long as Bradders plays 2 up front!!
