Been loaned to Margate. He needs football if he’s not playing, but he’s better than that level, surely? I’d love to know what happened between him and Lovell

I agree Bradley Stevenson definitely looks a few grades better than Margate standard, but then again Lovell thinks he knows best. Well, we are near the bottom of our division for a good reason and that's not down to Lovell's ability to manage adequately in my eyes.
One thing I definitely know is that Lovell is not here long-term and that's worth the wait.

If he is as good as some people claim then he would have attracted interest from a higher club.
Of course, it's also entirely possible that a higher club made an offer but he, or the club, didn't accept it.
I don't know what his living situation is but it's also possible he didn't want to move away from the area, especially for a month.

Not sure but isn’t there rules about loaning to a higher league club?! At the end of the day he needs games.

I'd have thought that you just list a player for loan and any interested club's come along and make offers for them. I've never heard of a player being loaned to a higher team, if they were that good then they would already be playing at a higher level

Higher club's (than Margate) would come in for him if he was good enough, the fact that we can't tempt a club higher than the Isthmian league to loan him tells you what they think of his ability. It's funny people say he should be worthy of a run in a league 1 first team but we can't get him loaned to a team in the National League or National League North/South

I've not see enough of him play to give a firm opinion of him, but when I have seen him he has been pretty ineffectual. Has he scored any first team goals in the league or FA cup?

And still I am sure there is some rule out there about signing loan deals at national league and above so that’s why he’s gone to a lower league as he can go on as many loan spells as we like.

You might be right muppet as I’ve got a feeling a club below the conference could class Stevenson as an under 21 as a youth loan, which would allow him to continue training with us and playing in reserve games if required. I don’t think that’s possible in the national league.
