Ex-Bull Jordan Fitzpatrick has been released by Worcester after Cheltenham have loaned them midfielders Josh Emery, son of ex-Bull Steve, and Jack Durrant. Fitzpatrick started just four games for the Conf South side this term. Bournemouth have sold 850 season tickets for next season already with a deadline for discounted sales coming this Sunday. The club say they need to double that number to get the funds required to lift their transfer embargo.
Chesterfield have signed Carlisle striker Gary Madine on loan. The teenager spent three months of the season on loan at Coventry, but a permanent move there collapsed. Weymouth have been hit by a claim for £104,000 from former commercial manager Andrew Cooke, who left the club at the end of last year. Cheltenham have ended the loan of West Brom forward Joss Labadie after two months as they want to spend the funds on another part of the team.
The Thurrock Gazette is reporting that some of Southend's players have not been paid, two weeks after their wages were due. The paper quotes an unnamed source, believed to be a player, but the club have rubbished the claims as rumour and speculation. Port Vale are to loan teenage striker James Lawrie to Kidderminster for a month.
New Notts County chief Ray Trew has promised a massive cost cutting excercise at Meadow Lane. In an inteview with the Telegraph, the departures of both Sven Goran Eriksson and Peter Trembling - to cut the wage bill - were conditions of Trew taking over, while some footballers are on 'over £1million a year'. The club currently has 47 administrative staff and 'masseurs coming out of their ears'. Trew has not completed due dilligence due to the short time frame, and may yet put the club into Administration if the debts prove to be far bigger than claimed.
Meanwhile former owner Peter Trembling says he will sue previous owner Munto Finance over broken promises and to recover money he put into the club - if he can find them. Director Nathan Willetts, who Trembling says was a friend for ten years, has become uncontactable and has 'disappeared off the face of the earth'. Sven Goran Eriksson is also to release a statement about his time at Meadow Lane, with sources claiming he will 'lift the lid' on the mis-truths he was told.
The latest failure of the Stockport takeover is down to a lack of agreement between the Administrators and buyer Jim Melrose, according to a Football League statement. The statement says the issues they asked to resolve two months ago have been dealt with, but Administrators Leonard Curtis had not agreed final terms of purchase with the buyer.
