News Round Up

Darlington's prospective owner Raj Singh has blamed a misunderstanding on Administrators sending staff home and locking the club's doors yesterday. Singh says that staff should be back in their posts today, and that they are '70% done' in getting Football League approval for the takeover. Lincoln have avoided a transfer tribunal over Dany N'Guessan's move to Leicester, with the Foxes paying out a deal that could be worth up to £400,000 over time.

Port Vale say they are not interested in selling striker Marc Richards to free up space in their wage budget to reinforce other areas. Richards turned down a move to Cheltenham last term when they triggered a £100,000 get-out clause in his contract, and Shrewsbury are now claimed in the press to be ready to test his resolve again with the clause now £150,000 after he signed a new deal.

Cambridge have appointed former Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling as their new manager. He will be assisted by Paul Carden, who agreed a new three year deal with the club last week. Northwich are to offer creditors 25p/£ over five years as part of their CVA. Torquay are expected to sign Peterboro pair Scott Rendell and Kieran Charnock. Rendell will be on a season loan while Charnock is to sign on a two year deal with both involving fees.

Chester have cancelled Saturday's friendly with Burnley in an ominous sign of the results of the court case between the taxman and their Administrator. An official club statement says the Administrator will make an announcement in the next 24 hours.
