August 1st has come and gone.
The promised takeover hasn't registered on our website.
A "former?" player giving kit to an academy in Cameroon has.
I didn't expect the take-over, but I do wonder why we aren't interested in having Fondop-Talom playing for us. He did do his job last season!
I assume Pembo's furlough ended with the rest of the country. Everyone else is signing players up for next season ...........
It is and will continue to be a very odd market. Tunde Owolabi whose goals for FC United you would have imagined would have made him a target for every top non-league club as well as the lower leagues of the EFL has gone off to Hamilton Academicals and the list of released EFL players is extensive and in some cases surprising. Do Mansfield Town really have 11 better players than Otis Khan, that they can release him? Peterborough ditched Marcus Maddison. I'm not saying we should, or could, sign them, but they are much better than anything we've got. I think players are going to end up in unusual places and will have to be flexible if they want to stay in football. Some, I think, will make the decision to get a proper job and play for Wirksworth Ivanhoe on Saturdays. But they are also going to find the market for proper jobs is pretty cut-throat.
There are going to be plenty of opportunities for sharp and ambitious clubs ........ and for unscrupulous employers.
