Must watch
It's for the section with Jimmy Bullard, who funnily enough is manager in the same league. Usually the coach sets out a drill for one of his players to go up against Bullard but because it's Tamplin he takes on Bullard himself from what I've seen. He's really doing a good job of making everything about himself!

I wonder what the late, great Peter Cook would have made of this?

No matter what anyone thinks about him and this circus, he's put his money where his mouth is, the results have improved with him as manager (though they should with the players he has signed), their gates are massively increased and they are getting national media coverage. I don't know if it will last, but then none of us do.

I been watching Tamplin interviews an billericay clips. You can't say he's not passionate or putting his money where his mouth is. He even won 3 from 4 as caretaker manager. Be fair he's walking the walk so far. Doubled attendance as well. Might go and have a look myself if we ain't playing.

But when something looks too good to be true it usually is
Billericay were the 4th or 5th club he tried to buy over a very short period
May be all entirely squeaky clean but football is known to be a risk area

True enough, however your referenced article says "Football clubs with large debts can be attractive targets for criminals seeking to launder their dishonest income" and neither the Daggers or Billericay Town had large debts as far as i am aware.Voice of reason wrote:

With the Daggers not owning the ground it was useless to an asset stripper.
Maybe Tamplin just meant what he said?
Odd no one has questioned Glyn Hopkin's motives for getting involved at all yet Tamplin was the anti-christ from day one.
The two are massively different characters i know, and i am massively grateful to Glyn for stepping up.

But he had a chequered business history and some scary associates
Maybe everything will be ok. I hope so
The article is slightly misleading. The club doesn't have to have big debts to begin with. From what I have heard Billericay will soon have expenditure far in excess of income.
He also tried to buy successive clubs until he landed one
Glynn Hopkin in contrast is a Daggers fan who appears to have stepped in when the club was in need.
I hope we all remember that when the inevitable hard times come
