Sky Sports: Ethan Ampadu impressing at Chelsea after rapid rise from Exeter

[denzil]

Yep he had a fall out with the club.

We've never been told.

To me Hayward represented everything that was good about "our" grass roots football. A GREAT loss !!!

 

[Bittners a Legend]

In my personal opinion the loss of Simon Hayward is much greater than the loss of Perryman, Tisdale or Tagg would be individually. I know that Hayward and Tisdale fell out in the past over Tisdale's refusal to give players graduating from the academy full time pro contracts.

Does anybody know what Simon is doing now?

I was told about the 'fall out' by the father of someone who is in the youth academy. I don't know the details but believe he was put on 'gardening leave'

Strange that the club failed to mention this.

Perhaps those players simply weren't good enough? It's Tis' decision, not Hayward's, regardless of what anyone thinks. Does anyone know whether those refused contracts went on to have a pro career elsewhere - that'd tell which one was right.

There was no falling out between Tisdale and Simon. In fact Simon has always spoken very positively regarding Tisdale and still does. There was however; friction between him and Tagg.
Simon and the club have reached a financial settlement and he is no longer with the club. If he does not join another club in England there is a possibility that he may pursue coaching opportunities in the States where he has some good contacts.

...but on the other hand just one of many things that either the Club or the Trust fail to mention, or massage the information about.

A great loss. A quiet unassuming but very talented man.

Probably one of the best reports that I have seen on young Amps. Should help our cause when the tribunal meets.

 

[007]

yep.. no doubts in my mind, give it a couple of years, he'll captain the Chav's .

I sincerely hope that Steve Perryman will be among our representatives at the tribunal. His standing in the world of football and assessments could be a crucial factor in obtaining the very best results for ECFC. Of course that might depend on whether the tribunal actually takes place BEFORE his retirement at the end of the season !

Not sure if they did or not, but his departure was certainly discussed on here at the time he left.
