Accrington will be sold to their General Manager Dave O'Neill. Owner Eric Whalley will step down at the end of the season after 14 years due to heart problems. Whalley claims that clubs around the League Two drop zone are pressing the Football League to check whether the extra seats currently being installed are done on time. If they don't have the seats installed they will face relegation themselves.
Bournemouth's takeover is still ongoing, with co-owner Paul Baker claiming his asking price has been cut by 60% already. It is believed that incoming owner Adam Murry has now tabled a fifth offer for the club. Cheltenham failed to offload any of the five players up for loan. Midfielder John Finnegan had interested a couple of clubs including Brighton, but neither interested him, and striker Paul Connor turned down a move to Port Vale in favour of a stay at Wycombe that failed to materialise.
Swindon turned down the offer of a Championship striker coming in on loan due to his club wanting a guarantee that he would be in the starting XI. Northwich have had a winding up order from the taxman adjourned until May 6th. They are still paying £1,000 a week to rent their stadium while the sale to club owner Jim Rushe is concluded, and owe the players several months wages.
Port Vale are on the verge of securing crucial investment into the club. Shirt sponsors Harlequin Properties are to spend £340,000 on a quarter stake in the club, and invest a further £150,000 as a loan.
