Maidstone United manager Hakan Hayrettin using his powers of persuasion

Manager Hakan Hayrettin is embracing the challenge of attracting players to Maidstone. As probably the only sustainably-run club in the National League, United don’t have the financial muscle to compete with the division’s big hitters.

That means Hayrettin has to use his powers of persuasion in the transfer market. Recent signing Reiss Greenidge is a case in point.

Financially out of reach in the summer following his release by Bolton, Hayrettin went back in for the big centre-half and sold him the opportunity to play football.

Greenidge took him up on it and has settled in nicely, offering much-needed height and presence in the backline. “I chased him in the summer,” said Hayrettin. “When I initially spoke to him, when I was in my hotel room, we were talking telephone numbers.
