Daish is hoping to retain players

Ebbsfleet manager Liam Daish has called on MyFootballClub's members to help finance retaining some of the club's out-of-contract players.

The Blue Square Premier side have not been able to offer any players new deals and seven of them have already found new clubs.

The Fleet are owned by subscription website MyFootballClub and have also received donations from members.

Meanwhile, Paul McCarthy replaces Alan Kimble as Fleet assistant.

Cost-cutting at the club meant Daish could not afford to retain Kimble and club captain McCarthy will combine playing with new coaching role.

Of the club's out-of-contract players, Rob French, Peter Hawkins, Sacha Opinel, George Purcell, Mark Ricketts, Danny Slatter and James Smith have all joined teams below Blue Square Premier level.
