Ebbsfleet's owners and board are discussing selling the club as the MyFootballClub model is failing. They predict a £130,000 loss for the current season even after slashing their wage bill by 60% in the summer, and will run out of money before the end of the season. The 30,000 membership of the MyFC site has dropped to under 10,000. Crewe have offered keeper Bertrand Bossu a contract until the start of January despite him conceding five goals in his trial match against Birmingham reserves.
Northampton have signed former Swindon central defender Pat Kanyuka on a three month contract. The 22 year old 6ft4in man has played 38 senior games for the Robins and QPR. Port Vale have cancelled the contract of young midfielder Luke Chapman by mutual consent despite having a threadbare squad due to a virus outbreak.
Dagenham have loaned left back Scott Griffiths to Peterboro until January ahead of a permanent move. He follows Grimsby's right back Ryan Bennett to London Road on similar terms.
