News Round Up

Farsley Celtic face court on Wednesday over a £200,000 tax bill and may not survive. The club is to be put into Administration but the taxman has refused to postpone the winding up hearing and the club will not formally be in Administration in time, leaving their chances of survival firmly in the hands of the judge. Accrington are on the lookout for a new coach after Argentinian Pablo Asensio quit the club. The post is unpaid.

Stockport could have Fabrizio Ravanelli as their new manager. The former Middlesboro striker is being lined up by their prospective new owners for his first tilt at management, but the club faces losing more players this week with Dominic Blizzard expected to join Bristol Rovers and youngster Josh Thompson wanted by Man Utd. Southampton have a fourth bidder on the horizon, with fan sites suggesting that the Administrator's statement last week means they are days away from liquidation if a sale is not completed.

Crewe are to add Matt Mitchel-King to their squad. The central defender will join from Histon, with his defensive team mate Patrick Ada having already made the same switch. York have signed Ebbsfleet pair Michael Gash and Darius Charles for a combined £80,000 fee. Lincoln and Notts County are interested in Peterboro striker Rene Howe.

Chester have named Mick Wadsworth as their new manager. The 58 year old lost his last management job when Gretna went bust, and was previously assistant to Gary Peters at Shrewsbury. Coverage of Conference matches could be free to air next season according to Sports 360, who are marketing the rights, with 'a number of broadcasters in serious negotiations'.

Dagenham have signed former Arsenal trainee Abu Ogogo on a two year deal. The 18 year old full back played nine times for Barnet on loan last season, getting sent off twice. Macclesfield have signed veteran midfielder Paul Bolland on a one year deal after his release from Grimsby. Northampton have withdrawn the contract offer to Mark Hughes following their signing of ex-Bull Dean Beckwith.
