Ebbsfleet boss Kevin Watson had to let seven of his players goLeaving players without jobs during the coronavirus crisis was "terrible", says Ebbsfleet boss Kevin Watson. Tomi Adeloye, Nathan Ashmore, Andre Blackman, Alex Lawless, Ayo Obileye, Sean Shields and Aswad Thomas will all leave in the summer. "They are difficult phone calls to make because you are effectively, until these boys find other clubs, ending their livelihoods," Watson said. The National League club confirmed the departures two weeks after the season was brought to an early end because of the coronavirus outbreak. Ebbsfleet were 21st in the table and in the relegation places, having played 39 matches, when the campaign was halted.
