Ex-Bull Garry Breen played for Macclesfield reserves in their 2-1 loss to Walsall's reserves. Oldham are to wear a neon pink kit for their televised match with Leeds to highlight the cause of a local charity. The Latics have loaned Seb Hines from Middlesboro for a month. Bournemouth co-owner Paul Baker has denied fans claims that he will put the club into Administration to save his beloved Chester from the drop.

Leeds are to confirm the signing of Derby striker Liam Dickinson on loan for three months, once those three months include a possible play-off final. The deal should be finalised on Feb 21st. Leyton Orient have signed Wycombe's Scott McGleish on a three month loan. The veteran striker scored 26 times last season, but scored just five times this season including two in eleven games at Northampton.

Chester have turned down an approach for striker Ryan Lowe from Notts County, and recalled Tony Dinning from Grays to bolster their paper-thin squad. David Mannix, who has been on 'gardening leave' since calling in Police over a training ground incident, is also training with the squad. Ex-Bull Michael Ingham saved a penalty in York's FA Trophy win over Kidderminster. It was the thirteenth he faced that night as the Minstermen won the shootout 13-12 after a 1-1 draw.

Unibond side Marine are the latest side to impose a pay cut across the board. The 25% cut in wages is hoped to be sufficient to see the club through until May. Blackburn spend 80% of their income on wages. League Two sides are restricted to just 60%. MK Dons midfielder Peter Leven has signed a new two year deal with the club.

Weymouth's takeover talks have collapsed, with the Lee Power/Colin Hill deal described as 'dead in the water'. They had a bid for land surrounding the stadium, part owned by Terras owner Malcolm Curtis, rejected and are reported to have walked away. Previous reports said that if talks failed, the club would collapse while the club is holding a 'do or die' meeting tonight to try and find a solution to their problems.

Leeds are giving trials to Keith Gillespie and Mo Camara. The veteran winger and former Celtic full back are both free agents. Peterboro have revealed that they will owe Lincoln £5,000 if they win promotion due to a clause in the contract of former manager Keith Alexander that provided for bonuses for three years even though he is no longer involved.
