Jamie Mullins agrees terms with Brisbane Roar
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Chesterfield people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Chesterfield bid $730.0K for Joe Whitworth
The offer went to Wigan Athletic this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Chesterfield get their man
The chase for Jamie Mullins ended with $400.0K changing hands and Wycombe Wanderers out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Wanya Marçal stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Wanya Marçal and Chesterfield agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Chesterfield rebuffed over Alexis Mirbach
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Nantes have kept their man, and Chesterfield go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Chesterfield promote Jason Palmer from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jason Palmer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Jason Evans joins the Chesterfield first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jason Evans is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

A row about effort at Chesterfield
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joel Randall was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

This league is too small for Dan Potts
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Chesterfield will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
