I can confirm that Tom Kemp has left the club and signed for Telford, the interesting thing would be what fee we had for him, very suprised that Dryden didnt put up a fight to keep him for the rest of the season, but maybe his wages will come in handy, also danny carey bertram has gone back to Telford

Assuming this is true – for some reason it depresses me more than any other news to come out of SGL this season. It may be a financially unavoidable move – but seeing your captain and centre half leave when the club is in the middle of a relegation dogfight – feels tragic.
- The financial pressures are thee for all to see – yet we managed to take players like Carey Bertram and Brown on loan recently.
- With the upcoming fixture pile up, our coverage at centre back looks very weak
- And - the club captain & leader leaving sends a very dispiriting message to the rest of the squad

i bet we never even got a fee for him! im sure i read somewhere that a few years ago he cost ten grand for a club, i feel he is better than chris smith and telford offered i THINK 5 grand and we rejected it saying it was a desiory offer, im just hurt and surprised becuse he looked so commited and last season rejected a blue square prem team, and i hope mark clyde can stay fit!

Very strange, nothing on WEN or website, and a free transfer sounds like he was released by City willingly. Very strange, surely if this was a reduction in wage bill exercise, then there were more likely candidates to be released than the club captain?? I know what ady means, this does sound quite depressing news, maybe there is a perfectly rational explanation for it, but I can't see it.

Its now in WEN, purely down to money, and the fact that we have two other centre halfs! Doesnt sound like he'll be the only one with a new club either.

He was the highest paid player, is it that or get shot of maybe two or three players that total his wages.
We will never know and typical WCFC dont get a transfer fee, the worrying thing is with the amount of games coming up will Clyde be able to be fit for every game, Khan, Spencer, Ward, Clyde and Daniel, i fear the thought of seeing Craig Wilding at Centre Half

When you have to ship out the club captain to manage the wage bill, it means you've got big problems. I feel sorry for Dryden here, as he's obviously not able to pick his side based on ability, more on cost, and if they are too costly, they'll be out. It also suggests there wasnt time to circulate availability and negotiate a transfer fee, just ship off the wage bill as soon as possible.
The problem is that the club has received no income for a month, and income from only one league game for two months! If Carey New Homes put £2 million on the table today with no strings attached, the club would be pretty much obliged to take it!

Personally didn't rate him,as when I saw him, as a centre-back, he didn't jump, to head the ball FFS. Which is basics in my book.

Telford have for many many years been a real good local rival, many a battle between the two sides at both SGL and The Bucks Head. Good set of supporters too, I've had many a drink with them in years gone by, and their club has gone through a lot of turmoil, and been rescued by their supporters, they're a good example of how a supporter led club can thrive. Sometimes city4evaa I wonder whether you understand what non-league football is all about. |

I always greatly look forward to the games when City play them. Kieran, from the speed that things happened I guess that it was a "buyers market" and trying to hold out for a transfer fee wasn't an option. I'm thinking that if it took a month or two to sell him, the money recieved in transfer fees (and remember even at our low level of fees its usually instalments) would be offset by wage costs. At least Hampson and Panter understand about cashflow better than Boddy ever did and will have made the decision based on that, and I trust their judgement. If he was non-contract then that doesnt apply, either way, it looks like there was a significant need to reduce outgoings immediately. |

Every club has their dickheads who think supporting the team includes lobbing W***** signs over a segregation fence, or gathering in groups and pretending to be hard. City have theirs too, which also therefore by your reckoning makes WCFC scum! I know many people who were at both those games you mentioned and enjoyed pints before and after the game with Telford fans. Was you there when Telford United relegated us from the Alliance Premier at Bucks Head, and Telford and Worcester fans shook hands and wished each other good luck in our respective leagues? Telford United are a club that WCFC need to look at very carefully, I was in contact with their original Supporters Trust set up, to understand how supporters led clubs can operate, I was there at Walsall FC for a regional Trust meeting one evening when they were telling how they had less than 2 months to raise enough to save the club from liquidation, raised the money, and still failed - but still managed to form a consortium capable of building a new club from the wreckage of Andy Shaws failed business empire. If you judge a football club by a few dickheads in a local pub, then I think you'll find they're all scum, even Worcester City. |

To be fair to Telford, as a bigger N-L club have a little crew, in common with a few other clubs. Not personally had any encounters with them, but do have a Wolves mate from there. who's spoke of them and their wannabees. At best I'd call  them 'mini-'scum';everyone knows the real lot are from up the A449....  |

No, but its just not non-league football!! You have to embrace the spirit of non-league football, which actually bonds us all together, and seperates us from all the tribal crap of league football.
You sound like an uncouth league football "fan" with s*** for brains, who's ideas of a good day out is to chant loudly in pubs with fellow s*** for brains, and taunt opposition s*** for brains with W***** signs and songs about going home in an ambulance.
Non league football isnt about that, or at least it wasn't. Telford, or Newport, or Bath, or Thurrock, or Bognor, we're all mates in these pisspot leagues with no money! Have a beer with away supporters, and you'll find out that they suffer the same issues of supporting their little club through thick ad thin as we do!

Havent judged you at all city4evaa because I don't even know you, just saying, understand what non-league football is all about. There's nothing scum about Telford, WCFC will do well to model themselves on Telford moving forward.
