Taken from the Witton Albion Forum
Lots of rumours floating about re the manager and players, I know there is an information meeting next week, but having spent sometime this week on the Fylde coast, I hear Warlow and Peers to Fleetwood and Brownhill to Altrincham. There is also rumours on the non league grapevine about Jim's position - any clarification from anyone?
I think Brownhill to Altrincham is virtually a done deal, unfortunately.
Any truth in this I wonder?
-
I'd love to believe this is true - it would certainly solve one of our three problems on the field, I think.
-
hes a left back isnt he , local and england non league capped ?

I used to play against him when i was younger when he played for unicorn, he was a class above back then

from the FA website
"England C manager Paul Fairclough has today named a 16-man squad for the International Challenge Trophy Group A fixture against Finland in Helsinki next month.
The squad includes two players from outside the Conference National, with Witton Albion’s promising full back Liam Brownhill earning a shock call-up after impressing in a recent FA XI fixture. "
if we do get a decent left back i think we might stay up proper this season.
-
he's one of the verbally signed ones till GH gets back i think, sounds like fantastic work from gh gettin the ball rollin even before he goes on his hols

Que raid by Northwich or Stalyvegas ! >:(
-
ah you see thats where we have an unforseen advantage.....the lad will get a gig every week here and im not so sure at northwich so maybe its a conveniant step more local too.
cant wait to see him in our shirt and not at the poker table beating me ;D

Most of the other players we have looked at over the years would have too but theres a small minority, or we also have had at Alty, who wouldn't give a sh*t sitting on the bench there collecting double what we offer !

I agree completly but the england c call up alone would suggest liam is very hungry to play and impress

Hope so, sounds like just what we need, someone with a little bite !
-
he's very competative thats for sure and i think he used to score goals too....thats if he's allowed to get forward for us!!! ::)
-
hasnt he been at alty before ?
-
not sure mate but he is a local lad so prob had a look at him
-
doesnt sound left footed if he has played both full back positions
-
He was a member of our youth team a couple of years ago
-

How come we didn't keep him? How old is he now then?
-
24

21 according to another site

So knowing previous Alty signing he's probably 45 then ;D ;D
-

Jacko, no one beats you at poker that is just a hussle line to sucker people in, its not going to work.
facebook suggests he's 21 and has a lot of fit birds as friends.
-
He has footballers hair...like Jacobs.
-
Some good photos on there of him, someone mentioned him signing for us on his wall, and ermm Grantham ???

erm i actually do play poker with him and i can tell you he is a great poker player(dont mention my pocket 10's to him though LOL) in response to the latter well that's what facebook is all about is'nt it? you dont join to meet blokes do you! ;D anyway hes 21 and plays for england c at left back.....thats surely a decent signing for us?
-
A lot of people go to the hairdressers and ask for a Jacobs, or sometimes they take a in a picture of me and say they want hair like this........
-
I think that he played a friendly at Trafford, possibly in July 2005.
-
According to Witton he's on a contract until the end of next season so he may not be joining Alty because i presume Witton will want a fee
-
If Peers and Warlow are going to Fleetwood. Fleetwood might be worth a bet to win Conference North. The 3 Witton players mentioned are outstanding players as well as the keeper( whose name I cannot recall at the moment). I disappointed for my Witton supporting friend that these players are leaving and they are not in Conference North.
-
Keeper is Jon Kennedy,ex Halifax
-

I dont
-
seconded
-
Spotting JTH in the hairdressers is as likely as you catching me at a Salad Bar
-
So who have we signed????
-
Does anyone know whether we've signed Liam Brownhill or not?
I'm confused, are we just speculating that he has given us a verbal agreement?
-
According to Witton he's on a contract until the end of next season so he may not be joining Alty because i presume Witton will want a fee
would you not expect him to have a clause that he can leave to a club in the BSP.
-
its us or a conf north team at the moment, someone like dave pace prob offered the world to him ::)

I guess we'll see if the lad has any ambition to go higher or desire to play for his howetown club then. Certainly hope so, would be a cracking signing.
From Nantwich website...
"Meanwhile, Nantwich have completed the signings of left back Dave Tickle and midfielder Rob Hawthorne from former UniBond Premier Division club Leek Town. Tickle was formerly on the books of Manchester City whilst Hawthorne is a former Crewe Alexandra trainee. The latest signings take the number of new recruits at The Weaver Stadium to five, meanwhile Director of Football Clive Jackson and Head Coach Steve Davis are hopeful that Altrincham defender Darren Tinson will pledge his future to Nantwich Town this week whilst former Port Vale defender Charlie O’Loughlin has promised an answer soon to an offer made earlier last month."

How do you know this mate? Do you know the lad?
-
think its a genuine 50/50 from what i heard last night, i also told him droyelsdens goalkeepers rubbish and is not commanding enough, lol hope it did the trick! ;D
-
yeah i speak with him and he told me he's yet to make up his mind...thats the truth its all over his facebook page anyway
i play poker with him thats it
-
yeah i speak with him and he told me he's yet to make up his mind...thats the truth
Surely the only reason he'd go to a BS north club is for a better wage? Playing at the likes of Oxford, Torquay and Cambridge must be massively appealing!?
-
thats the issue, longman you've hit the nail on the head,think of the signing on fee too, its a big carrot... we've got to remember its his job and his career that he's deciding but hopefully he'll make the right step
-
**the above post may contain comments that are patronising to other clubs**
Maybe he could be the first player ever to say:
"yeah the £x,xxx signing on fee would have been amazing, and I could have done with the extra £50 a week in my pocket.
However I want to play at the highest level I can and in the league one day. I've got more chance at Alty with the higher profile and Setanta game here and there and more chance of getting in the England side again. Plus, I don't really want to celebrate with 10 Droyslden fans at Alfreton, and 300 at home, I'd like to play in front on 1,000 most weeks and 4,000 some weeks"
Tell him Jacko, tell him..
I've cracked a 25 yarder...ooo who is arsed?
-
lol ;D thers also a small matter of facilitys etc
-
And these people (http://gavin.ukgrrls.co.uk/p49672833.html)
-
you know what ecky you've got a great point! im gonna copy and paste your statement into a personal message to him now on facebook! is that ok?
cant be arsde doin any work anyway to bloody hot in here!
-
shall we become cheif negotiators!!!! cracking marketing team we'd make! its sent!!!
-
I was going to put some Droyslden pictures on of 10 on the terrace but I don't want to upset Dave Pacio too much, especiallly as I now quite like the guy.
As Del Boy would say "you know it makes sense"
Perhaps someone a bit trendier than me could start a facebook group!
-

im one of the people that dont really care about other clubs!!!

Or better still copy and paste the 400 Alty fans celebrating in the away end at Droylsden this year!
Surely the fact he's from Alty may have a little bit a bearing on his decision to won't it!? It's a shame if it doesn't anyway.

Indeed I do.
Brilliant.

And these people (http://gavin.ukgrrls.co.uk/p49672833.html)
These are two of my favourite all time Alty photos but the home one is just brilliant, more so because of the photo in the sponsors lounge of Bandy. THe people on it know what I mean, I can't find it anywhere and I'll leave it for a thread that Liam Brownhill isn't reading I bet you are reading this, now sort your head out pal and get to Moss Lane, if you chase an extra £ somewhere it will be piss poor and you won't make a decent career I think
-
Great photo............my son is on the front row attemping to climb the barrier.....fortunately the stewards were not from Burton or he would have been ejected for being 12 and happy

I know the one you mean, I think I was one of the 7 or 8 people stood in that corner! ;D
-
Surely the picture of Alty fans celebrating the New Year victory at Northwich would tempt an ex-Witton player more! How about one of the 250 or so fans who travelled down to Weymouth at the end of last season? Come on Liam, you know it makes sense mate.

Brian, do you mean this one

Thats was Droylsden's average home crowd

Quality, excellent news! Never seen the lad play but he must be fairly decent if he was picked for England C.
-
I'm beginning to believe this lad has defo signed for us. Absolutely delighted if it's true - a quality left back signed up AT LAST!!! Welcome to Alty Liam and well done to all those responsible for making it happen too.

no official word on main site yet

Never updates until 10:40...apart from the odd one in the day.

Hi,
Im speaking on behalf of Liam Brownhill and im glad to say that Liam will be joining alty, hopefully the deal will be concluded by Friday after the FA confirmed that he is a free agent. There was interest from other clubs but the chance to play for his local team is to good of an oppurtunity to turn down.
-
Getin getin getin getin!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Great news :D
-
That's one really important piece of the jigsaw in place for next season!
-
Witton still insisting he's on a contract til the end of next season and won't be going anywhere without a fee being involved which rules us out.
-
I knew it wasnt worth getting too excited about Brownhill. I'll be happy when this deal is concluded, whether it involves us or not. Hopefully us though!!!
According to Leek and Buxton sites we've signed 25 year old midfielder Anthony Danylyk from Leek. He was their club captain last season. Leek however were relegated from the Unibond Premier last season, I hope this lad was a massive exception for them!
-
Adam Yates who played in a a pre season friendly for us a couple of years back but opted to go full time with Morecambe came from Leek who had also finished in the bottom half of the unibond the prevous season.He was a class act so lets hope for something similar if we have signed this lad.
-
knowing our luck because we have spent all week talking this guy up, he'll sign for Vics ;)
-
I'm confused, Witton say he is under contract and would require a fee to move anywhere, yet 'Luke Barlow' has posted on here that he has decided to join Alty, also the main site only says confirmations of a midfielder and a centre back to come, not a left back!
Unless the main site is just being crafty and pretending it's another midfielder because they don't want to alert anyone to the fact it could be Brownhill!?
I dunno ???
-
It's beginning to look like "luke Barlow" is a troll. Hope I'm wrong - we could really do with Brownhill.
Lane, Brownhill and Young is a great start - another great centre back and we'll have a fighting chance of getting some clean sheets every few weeks!
PS: Don't suppose we could kidnap Ryan could we? ::)

I sincerely hope that Danylyk is the one on the left.....
