Port Vale's takeover will be completed today, or the Administrator will move to 'Plan B'. Administrator Bob Young has told bidder Keith Ryder his bid must be approved by the Football League today or he will turn to a second bidder waiting in the wings. Ryder has maintained that his bid would be completed by the end of July. The Valiants have added former manager Dean Glover to their backroom staff as a youth coach.
Luton are hoping to offload midfielder Andre Boucard to Notts County. The former York and Kettering man cost them £25,000 in January but he made only a handful of appearances and is deemed surplus to requirements by Paul Buckle. Newport are in talks to sign keeper Lenny Pidgley on a short term deal as cover for injured no.1 Alan Julian. The former Stevenage man is expected to miss the opening weeks of the campaign after being injured in his debut for the club.
Portsmouth are now down to three senior players after Kanu walked out under freedom of contract after serving a 14 day notice period. Despite effectively tearing up the final year of his contract, the Nigerian still has a claim lodged with the Football League for £3million in unpaid wages that is large enough to scupper any rescue bid for the club. Administrator Trevor Birch is hoping the FL decides on his claim before the start of the season.
Lincoln boss David Holdsworth has expressed his surprise that former Imps keeper Scott Loach was sold to Ipswich by Watford for just £200,000. The Imps bagged just £20,000 as their sell-on clause rather than an expected £150,000, with Holdsworth calling the sale 'a bargain'. Meanwhile, their Sincil Bank stadium draw raised just £21,000 when they budgeted £50,000. Fan group The 12th Imp won the draw.
Luton have confirmed the signing of keeper Dean Brill on a two year deal after a successful trial. The 26 year old has over 200 senior appearances to his name since coming through the Hatters' youth side. Lincoln have transfer listed former Bulls loanee Josh Gowling. The former Bournemouth and Gillingham defender is reported to be one of their highest earners.
Telford have signed forward Kieron St Aimie on contract for next season. The nomadic 23 year old, who can play up front or on the wing, spent last season with Tamworth but had a number of injuries in the second half of the season. Macclesfield have signed Fleetwood defender Kieran Charnock on loan until January. The 27 year old previously played for Morecambe and Northwich.
