Kevin Ellison has left Newport. He was discussing a coaching position there but has decided he wants to keep playing. Considering he is 43 now you have to admire his fitness suspect he will end up in non league.
Just been subbed, but played well, especially in the first halfBNC playing for England under 19s now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/61324523
That seems a lifetime ago so seems surprising he’s got a No 1 job,Scott Lindsey - first team coach under Chris Sutton and caretaker once he left - has been appointed Swindon manager, was the assistant manager.
Sell on fee from a sell on fee? Do Forest get a sell on from a sell on from a sell on? Where does it all end.Hearts have agreed a fee for Jorge Grant. Up to him to agree terms now.
(Perhaps I should cross post in rumour thread)
Can see why they stuck Blackpool in there"Ryan Whelan

Contrary to reports Conor Mcgrandles does not favour a move to Scotland and is exploring options in England according to his agent. Both Peterborough and Blackpool are expected to explore the option."
Perhaps a chance we can make Conor a matching offer?

Wonder what the fee is. Posh maybe making a few quid on him despite getting relegated.
Heard we might just be coming into 200k...
Posh will be making 100% profit on him.
We didn't receive a fee for him did we?
250k from memory.Posh will be making 100% profit on him.

When he signed his new contract that season, it had a release clause fee in if we didn't get promoted which Posh had to pay. It wasn't ginormous but it was a good piece of business to get something for him rather than him being free in the summer.
I think we may of done a different deal to that but I'm happy to be corrected if someone can show evidence of a fee recieved or where Cricklewoods figure of 250k came from.
It was definitely that type of deal - and undisclosed, but seen varying numbers with 100k at the lower end? 250k maybe the higher end!

Thing is they can tell the papers anything......doesn't mean its true.
Triggering a release clause not long after he had signed a new contract, why didn't Posh come in for him before Grant signed his new contract?
I've got my own theory on that transfer where I don't think any money was involved but I am more than happy to stand corrected if that's the case.
The whole reason we got Grant to sign the new deal was the get out in it, else he wouldn't have signed one. I'm not sure he had a release clause in his deal that was about to end.
It made sense for both parties as Grant had a deal until June 2023 if went up, but he also had the option for a Championship move if we didn't get promoted. We also then had him under contract.
It was all very specific and confirmed by the club so a bit of an odd conspiracy between us/Posh if we didn't get anything for him.
