Squad

A move Louis Flower would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Louis Flower is living that version at Bromley, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Tempers go at Bromley

Corey Whitely was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Bromley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ashley Charles is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Bromley and Corey Whitely are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

Bromley sign Che Gardner, one for the future

Che Gardner is 18, and Bromley have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Bromley sign Stephen Matthews, one for the future

Stephen Matthews is 17, and Bromley have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Stockport County say no — this time

The offer from Coventry City for Kyle Wootton was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Malik Mothersille signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Malik Mothersille and Stockport County agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Stockport County

Kyle Wootton was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Lewis Bate falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Stockport County sell Che Gardner for $110.0K

Che Gardner has left for Bromley in a $110.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Kyle Wootton gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
