Just listened to Branson on the Peak interview, after about 14 mins he says we are no longer going to play reserve league football in favour of what sounded like "bounce" games, which he said had been well documented, which of course it hasn't. Can anybody with a better grasp of his Leicester accent tell me exactly what he said and what it means. I assume adhoc friendlies as and when we need them (players bouncing back after injury, loss of form etc)

He also says that he has resigned from his agent role. In that case he should have no trouble responding openly to Chris.

Which he's done.

'Hi Chris.

Thanks for the email on my "Old" agency work email.

To clear your email up I left LPM to work for Chesterfield FC.

The FA Rules clearly state a club can not employ a Intermediary, which was my previous profession because I cancelled my FA intermediary IMS to take this position with Chesterfield FC.

Thanks for getting in touch ... fans can rest assured I am 100% behind this job

Kind Regards

Guy Branston'


Fair play to the bloke for that.

PS: I edited out a couple of kisses at the end...

I thought he meant that the reserve team season had finished so he wouldn't have those games to assess players.

https://en.wikipedia...ame#Bounce_game
A bounce game is generally a non-competitive football match played between two sides usually as part of a training exercise or to give players match practice. Managers may also use bounce games as an opportunity to observe a player in action before offering a contract. Usually these games are played on a training ground rather than in a stadium with no spectators in attendance

He did also mention getting triallists in for these games, so presumably it would allow us to check out potential signings alongside current squad members

Were reluctant to do that now with non playing first teamers so binning the reserves side won't make a difference.

thanks mate.
good job done.
xx

PS. I'm not much into this, but does his 'intermediary' statement cast doubt on previous CFC practice and, in particular, Mitchell's status?
Probably not.

Thanks for clarifying that. I thought he did say we wouldn't be entering a reserve side into the league though

This is so flawed - how can you assess someone fully over 1 or 2 games.
God I hate this league.

I agree with you and I remember going to the Alfreton pre season friendly a couple of years ago under cook where Nicky Featherstone played for us I believe and was superb only then for him to go onto sign for Scunthorpe before being released with no appearances, but how else would you suggest scouting said player who is currently a free agent?

It must be a prerequisite for anyone applying for a job at the club!

Sutcliffe and Fitzgerald were good examples, so we should not tar all with the same brush.

It's part of the process of scouting a player it's not the whole process.
Guess I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

Works for the London based agents 'Soccer Base Limited' as an intermediary I believe.

Joe Rowley signed up with Base Soccer agency, as soon as he signed pro terms with us so presumably that explains Marks appearance.
