News Round-Up

Sky will cover Bradford's Carling Cup match with Leeds as part of their First Round coverage. Rotherham have confirmed that forward Ryan Taylor has signed for Bristol City. The two sides are yet to agree a fee for the 23 year old. Shrewsbury have banned five supporters from their ground for 'several breaches' of ground regulations.

Plymouth's backroom staff have been told they may never receive all of their outstanding wages. Peter Ridsdale told staff that none of the club's bidders wants to foot the outstanding £3.2million of football debts, even though paying those debts is one of the conditions set by the Football League of all it's member clubs. Southend captain Craig Easton has turned down a new contract with the club and will leave on a free. The 32 year old ex-Swindon midfielder signed a one year deal last summer.

Bradford bidder Steve Parkin is said to have made an improved offer for the club. The current Guiseley director is said to have offered Julian Rhodes and Mark Lawn a guaranteed £2.5million for the Bantams. Former Northampton striker Leon Mackenzie is facing six charges of perverting the course of justice after providing false documents to escape six speeding fines. He faces jail if convicted, and is pinning his hopes on a bureaucratic cock-up by Police.

Yeovil boss Terry Skiverton has admitted using Twitter and fans' recommendations on players to identify summer targets. He told the BBC the club couldn't afford a scouting network adding "I'd like to thank the supporters for adding a bit of amateur scouting, it's worked out really well for us." Skiverton has 1800 followers on the site. Among their recommendations are former Bulls Alan Connell and Joe Anyinsah.

Rotherham are reported to have parted company with forward Ian Thomas-Moore by mutual consent. The 34 year old told his Twitter followers he had left the club after only signing for a fee in January, shortly before his father Ronnie was sacked by the club.
