I've just gone back into the murky world of X/Twitter (not to post...I don't want to actively participate, just to observe) and it's interesting seeing the clubs making the early running with signings etc. Dagenham, Dorking and Chelmsford seem to be signing practically anything that moves, whereas newly promoted Folkestone seem to be (quite sensibly, you would've thought) re-signing many of the players who have just got them up. You'd certainly assume that the first three mentioned might be among the biggest spenders but anyone think they might be rushing it slightly? There'll be some decent, still unsigned players around later in the summer...which is where I suspect some of ours might end up coming from.

I suspect it is more the case that the active clubs are the ones with the budget to know they can land their key targets. When you have a more limited budget you have to be more careful how and when you use it. Most of the signings look to me like the better players around the division where they will be greater competition for their signature.

Walton & Hersham appoint Kevin James as new manager, his first ever management appointment so could be seen as high risk.

You might find this interesting from the Slough fans forum, particularly regarding budgets in the NLS and players income: https://www.fansfocus.com/topic/212102- ... -at-730pm/

Slough and us are of a similar size and recent record but interestingly don't think they have the lowest budget (16th-18th out of 24).

Firstly it just shows how spectacularly badly Eastbourne were managed doesn't it? Players clearly only went there for a payday.
I also suspect players nowadays see themselves as more attached to agents than to clubs, or even managers.

Slough have signed ex Dorking and Aldershot CB Josh Brooking who missed the whole of last season with an achilles tear.
