We're Not Selling For Sellings Sake says Keyte


Hereford United chairman David Keyte has said that the club will not be selling players in the up-coming transfer window unless sensible offers are received. In any case several of the players that might be wanted have been injured recently.

"We are certainly not going to be selling for sellings sake," Keyte told BBC Hereford and Worcester earlier this afternoon.

"Hopefully we can keep the squad and have a good run at getting up this league table."

Keyte was pleased with the signing of Chris Sharp who joins the Bulls in time to be considered for the game at Kidderminster on Tuesday.

"He joins us on the 1st, striker.

"We've obviously been ravaged by injuries in that department and it's costing us.

"We're hoping Ryan Bowman is going to be back mid-month and Marlon Jackson around that time as well.

"We are going to put a bit into the second half of the season."

As reported on BN yesterday Sean Canham is leaving the club and it's expected Kyle Perry and Phil Marsh will return to their parent clubs shortly. Players will have to leave before more are brought in.

"That will be the arrangement. Martin (Foyle) is aware of that. We have to keep the finances as tight as we can. We'll try to shake it up a bit.

"The wages are about even - people going out, people coming in. We'll progress on that basis."

Keyte was disappointed that today's game against Newport County had to be called off because of the weather.
"It was probably a £30,000 gate for us plus the bars.
"We'll try and rearrange it as soon as possible I think although January is choc-o-block already.
"We've got 25 fixtures to play in 17 weeks.
"We've seen it coming so we're trying to help Martin out by getting two or three lads in."
