News Round Up

Shrewsbury have confirmed their interest in Accrington striker Paul Mullin. They had agreed a fee of £75,000 with Accrington for the 33 year old, but he turned the move down. Notts County boss Ian McParland has told the press that the club needs £3million in investment to 'turn things around'.

Lincoln have released veteran striker Steve Torpey by mutual consent. His summer signing was widely criticised by Imps fans, and he failed to score in fourteen games for the club before joining Farsley on loan. Swindon are to name Maurice Malpas as their new manager once their takeover is complete. The former Scotland international quit as Motherwell boss in the summer.

Forest Green are to seek a change of the rules after they were forced to play Saturday's game with Grays with only 11 fit players - two of them goalkeepers. They asked the Conference to call the game off, but the need for Doctors certificates for every one of eleven ill players saw the request refused.

Luton have earned another bonus in their financial plight with Sky picking their Liverpool replay for live coverage, adding another £150,000 to their coffers. The club should collect a total of around £700,000 from the two games, with bidders for the club due by today's 5pm deadline.

Barnet have released striker Jason Norville, who has joined Woking until the end of the season. The former Watford trainee made 40 appearances for the Bees, mostly from the bench. Peterboro have had a series of bids rejected for Lincoln midfielder Lee Frecklington. The 22 year old is under contract at Sincil Bank until 2009.
