    Jordan Thomas who were linked with in January has left Cheltenham. 25, RW/AM, and 8 goals, 6 assist in 25/26 season.

    Might be a decent L1 signing.

    See Donny have apparently agreed a fee for Zak Blunt from Boreham wood. Saw some of their play off with Carlisle and he looks decent. Hope we don’t get to far behind with recruitment whilst we are busy

    My thoughts are that we will have identified two lists of players.
    One if we were to get promoted, the other if we stay in League 1.
    You aren’t going to sign players when there is that level of uncertainty, and the ones who may want to come, if we play in the Championship, may not want to sign for a team who would remain in League 1.

    Well we cant be recruiting when we don't even know the division we are playing next season. Clubs have a few weeks to publish their retained lists anyway so i doubt there will be much movement in the next 2-3 weeks.

    Loads more retained lists have come out in the last few days, kinda pointless having a proper scan over them until we know what league we are in.

    Sounds like Manning wont be returning to Huddersfield next season, the rumour on their end is that he will step away. Awful situation, hopefully him and his family will come out the otherside in as best way they can.

    It is one of the worst events that can happen to you in your life. It affects you every single day of your life. You just don’t get over it; you learn to adapt and the enormous pain subsides but the loss of a child stays with you. Having a stressful job is very hard, and at times you just want to go home abc curl up. Manning has my utmost sympathy and I hope he can find work that allows him space when required.

    Seems to have a decent pedigree and from memory looked decent against us. He would do in either division tbf.

    Archie Collins at Posh would be a decent edition for a CM role. Well thought of there and their POTY but wants to move on and is out of contract. Lincoln, Watford and Swansea are monitoring. Depends who wants him the most as imagine wages arent an issue.

    I honestly think it’s an amalgamation of either “ mutual” or the sack. Clearly it wasn’t working . The “mutual agreement” saves Nagles blushes . How many more wrong fit managers will he recruit. Did you hear Chelsea’s temp manager interview yesterday? Multiple mentions of “ group” , “ moments” ….etc. These fools must swallow the manual!

    Callum Wright has left Plymouth after being on loan with Wigan this year .
    He stood out in both games with them this year ,
    Always involved on & off the ball.

    Sounds like Huddersfield are making early moves, Bristol Rovers have rejected an approach for their striker Fabrizio Cavegn. He is 23 and in his first season in England, he managed 11 goals in L2 but he only played 66% of minutes this season so it's a pretty good return. He was benched for the end of the season, rumours going around that he was approached a while ago and Bristol don't think things have happened the right way.

    Peterborough and Oxford are already in the chase apparently.

    Smallwood released by Tranmere. Assumed he got a 2 year deal there, not 1.
