News Round Up

Grimsby have signed Stevenage striker Tony Thorpe on a months loan. The 32 year old started just one game after a summer move to Broadhall Way and spent last season with Colchester and Swindon, scoring once in 13 starts. Walsall have signed much travelled keeper Bertrand Bossu on a free transfer until the end of the season. The giant French stopper has had a dozen clubs since entering English football with Barnet in 2000.

Crawley's owners have accepted an offer for the club from Britannia Sports Management. BSM are one of a group of companies controlled by Matthew Pearson, who missed the Administrators' deadline for bids in August. Details of the bid are vague, but the deal is hoped to be completed next week. Exeter have agreed an undisclosed compensation fee with Tottenham for former manager Alex Inglethorpe. Inglethorpe left in the summer for a youth coaching role at White Hart Lane after twice missing the play-offs.

The Non-League Paper is reporting that Dagenham are considering sueing the FA after both Steve Evans and then-chairman Pat Malkinshaw admitted fraud charges in relation to their 2002 Conference winning season. The club have always believed that Boston should never have been allowed into the league after the fraud was discovered shortly after the end of that season. Oxford have announced the sale of their 3,000th season ticket this season. The figure is up 700 on last season's total.
