News Round-Up


Southport have signed keeper Zac Hibbert and full back Liam Willis. Hibbert has played for a number of local sides, while Willis was in the Sandgrounders youth team before being snapped up by Wigan. Rotherham are investigating ways to stream their game tomorrow live to boss Steve Evans' house so he can manage the team from his sofa. The plan needs Football League approval, with plan 'B' seeing Evans undertake a scouting trip to their next opponents, Wimbledon.

Talks on investment into Newport have collapsed with a consortium of local businessmen accusing the club's current board of not fully disclosing the club's accounts. The board say the consortium refused to tell it their intentions amid claims they were prepared to put £750,000 into the club over three years. Truro City boss Lee Hodges says he will still be able to field a team after four of his squad quit this week. He is likely to have to dip into the youth team to fill the bench.

Llanelli are reported to have been warned by the Welsh league that they have to sort out their debt problems in the next three weeks to avoid being blacklisted by UEFA. They are reported to owe wages to several players as well as rent on their ground and training base, and will fall foul of new financial rules that will see them also kicked out of the Welsh Premier for next season.
