Bath City have cut their playing budget for next season by £70,000. The Conf South side are nearly £1million in debt but say the new budget is sustainable as they seek to cash in on their Twerton Park home. Telford boss Liam Watson says the club will not be held to ransom after captain Simon Grand joined ambitious Barrow. Watson is yet to tie up several of last season's squad but is prepared to lose them with several Conf North sides claimed to be spending big.
Southport defender Aristote Nsiala is expected to leave the Sandgrounders for a Football League side according to Grimsby boss Paul Hurst. Hurst wanted the former Everton trainee but told the local press the 22 year old has been on trial with a League One side. The Mariners have named defender Chris Doig as the club's new Assistant Manager. The 33 year old will continue playing despite missing half of last season through injury. Hurst has also admitted an interest in released Nuneaton forward Wes York.
Coventry have reported selling less than 400 season tickets in six weeks despite offering discounted prices to their disconnected fans. Their playing budget is reported to be cut for the coming season to £2million, roughly the same as Forest Green and Luton this term. Michael Rankine is set to join Harrogate Town according to message board reports. The big spending Conf North side have already signed Altrincham top scorer James Walshaw and veteran ex-Blackpool keeper Phil Barnes.
Wrexham expect to lose the services of midfielder Johnny Hunt after it was confirmed he was in talks with a League Two side. Hunt, 23, was the Dragons top scorer with 12 goals and the Dragons would be due a fee. Director Barry Horne has also told the local press that keeper Joslain Mayebi and midfielder Joe Clarke have so far failed to respond to contract offers, while the Dragons are also waiting on news of ex-player Neil Taylor. The defender is expected to leave Swansea this summer with the Dragons holding a 10% sell on clause.
