Seem to be right in the shitter, 4 professionals signed on, 3 of which are youth players given deals. Shefki kuqi all set to take over but he has withdrawn his application.

Best price 9/4 to go down.

Make that 3, Just sold Liam Kelly to Orient.

Oldham had a £500 a week wage cap introduced last year. Sheridan was on £18k a year. According to the Guardian Port Vale are in the same boat
