News Round Up

Notts County's signing of Kasper Schmeichel was delayed, forcing him to miss last Tuesday's loss to Chesterfield, as the club had to prove to the Football League they wouldn't be breaking their wage rules over his reported £15,000 a week wages. If that figure were to be true, new owners Munto Finance would have to be putting £25,000 in a week just to meet the 60% rule for a single player. With Sol Campbell claimed to be on a £10million five year deal, they would have to plough an additional £6million in to stay within rules. Manager Ian McParland is said to be on an £80,000 a year contract.

Shrewsbury have signed Bristol Rovers keeper Steve Phillips on a months loan. Phillips is surplus to requirements at the Memorial Ground, with a move to Turkey falling through earlier in the month. Rotherham's landlords have defended the state of the Don Valley pitch on Sunday. Rochdale claim they found nails and glass on the pitch prior to the match, but the stadium owners say their claims are 'strange'.

Morecambe have confirmed an interest in signing Accrington's veteran striker Paul Mullin.
