Who writes for the NLP?

The Non-League Paper carries another Parry transfer story this morning with the headline 'Parry set to sign up for Yeovil'.

The paper reports: "High-flying Hereford have reluctantly put their £50,000 rated winger on the transfer list."

It continues: "Conference champions Yeovil emerged last night as firm favourites to sign Parry as the replacement for Michael McIndoe. Yeovil is believed to be the player's first choice. The player told him (Turner) he wanted to leave."

No-one is credited as having written this story so it has to be asked where the information has come from. Although the paper carries part of the statement released by the club last Monday there are no direct quotes by Parry, Turner or Yeovil boss Gary Johnson.

Also, since the article would have been written before yesterday's games how can they write about the situation as at last night?

Parry had a better game yesterday and for him to be sold to Yeovil would not go down well with Bulls fans. Turner does not need to sell him for financial reasons and Parry may yet realise his ambition to play League football with Hereford United.
