This is very annoying and highlights the problem of relying on loanees. Just when our midfield was really gelling we have one of our key components taken away, F"%k!
Only positive, we may see Corne playing higher up the pitch again?

Huge cock up to allow this to happen. Been our best player all season.

So we have Corney, Paps, Tayt, Pierre and Biv left on the field, with injured Higgsy. Maybe there will be a new midfielder signing soon.

he has signed for Boreham Wood on a permanent transfer
it's pretty damning of our set up tbh
we should be competing at that level, and we aren't

I just hope it is not to another club in our league, that really would be a kick in the b@?"ocks . Boreham Wood. So yes a club in our league. I know the rules - but surely Maidstone made a conscious decision to not partake in negotiations i.e. hijack the deal and do our own permanent deal with him |

Not sure it is exactly damning of our set up?
Boreham Wood still have their deal with Arsenal ladies - albeit diluted from how it was & they’ve always been willing to throw money around - if it had been any other team at this level in for Benton I imagine he’d still be here until January minimum.
It is what it is, there’ll always be a team splashing the cash recklessly and it ain’t ever going to be Maidstone United with the current owners - at least we know where we stand.

That would be pathetic but then they have plenty of form.
BW are right up there in terms of their wage bill and yes it does mean we can't compete with them if thet have an eye for a player.
Makes it tough for George; he can compete and better than most clubs in NLS but there are a few out of reach.
That's football for you.
No more damning of our set up than the majority of clubs.

Your definition of ambition is just willingness to risk financial turmoil, no?
The entitlement for success and unrealistic exponential growth is what pushed me away from following top level football and now it seems to be creeping into the attitude of non-league.
Once you stop letting football affect your mental well-being you’ll enjoy it a hell of a lot more.
He’s a bloke going off to earn more money, so what.

Yes he's developed well since joining but if he's that good then why isn't he playing for Solihull? Maybe they don't think he's good enough for the NL.

this isn't about entitlement, it's entirely reasonable for fans to want to see on field success and I'd suggest most do
this club has one of the largest supports in non league and far from the lowest season ticket and match day prices - our financial performance is strong, even before we consider the FA Cup income and Amantchi transfer fee
I was a regular at Watling St, and no one wants to see the club put at risk again
but it would be good to see us punch our weight occasionally, rather than being 'gas lit' that we can't
(and particularly as it seems the Benton transfer wasn't actually just about money)
