Pre season friendly though surely! Although more likely to be us using the away dugout.

I just came back on to post that!
He was asked if he anticipates bringing in any players from Sutton and replied, "only those who are released by the new Sutton manager. One thing I'm not going to do is, I'm not going to do anything to the detriment of that football club because I'm now a Sutton fan and I'll remain a Sutton fan for life."
Now why would he tell his new employers that if it wasn't true? He's also hinted quite strongly that (at the moment) he only plans to stay at Havant for the 3 years he's signed for, although of course that could change. Thought it was worth a mention though, because how many football managers are this honest and open?

Well we'll only know if he's honest if when the season starts he hasn't taken any of the players we want to keep. Don't forget we never overstretch our budget. If Havant can pay them more then I'm sure they'd be tempted.

Don't forget the players also have a say in who they play for. They're people, not pawns! If you thought you could do the same job elsewhere, with people you knew and liked, but slightly easier and for possibly more money wouldn't you at least make enquiries? I don't think it would be fair to jump straight to blaming PD, that's all I'm saying. And it hasn't even happened yet!

Fans, by and large, only have loyalty to one club. So often see football through that prism.
Players and managers, in the main, don't really have that option.
