It's June 10th.

Contracts normally run until the end of June. It's fairly normal practice, if you have a deal or two lined up, to keep things close to your chest so you don't get gazumped.

Should we be worried no signings have been announced yet? I'm not. I don't see anybody else in tier four making any signings I envy. Port Vale & Barrow seem to be going a bit crazy signing bang average players.

And let's deal with the Barrow thing. I don't believe any of our players deserved the reward of a vastly improved contract after the ****show last season. Zanzala was hopeless for the majority of the time. I wouldn't have minded if Farman stayed but I'm utterly ambivalent to him departing. Is he worth a big wage? No. I don't really care what dosh Barrow are splashing around, if they want to spunk their wage budget away on average tier four players, good for them.

I was moderately satisfied with Holdsworth & Beech's activity last summer, so I'm fairly confident our signings will be eyebrow raising.
