Notts County owner Ray Trew has reacted angrily to words from some League Two sides at the weekend that the club had, effectively, cheated their way to promotion. Rochdale boss Keith Hill, ahead of the two sides' meeting on Tuesday, spoke on 5live saying "If we don't catch Notts County, the taxman will". Trew says, thanks to investment and their attendances, they are spending only 54.9% of turnover on wages and invites officials from other clubs to examine their books.
Southend chairman Ron Martin says they are now up to date with player wages, and that the taxman has now been paid. He also says their £100million ground redevelopment is on track, and due to open in 2011. Martin has also backed manager Steve Tilson, despite his side recording just one win in 19 games since the turn of the year. They will be relegated to League Two if they fail to beat Oldham on Saturday.
Brentford want to sign Toumani Diagouraga on a permanent basis. He is a regular feature for Andy Scott's side and is expected to be surplus at Peterboro, with Gary Johnson needing to cut down his 40 strong playing staff at London Road. Lionel Ainsworth isn't have such a good time at Griffin Park. He has managed just seven sub appearances since arriving in January.
