Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Marcus Bettinelli

Stockport County and Manchester City have settled on $120.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets

Zack Nelson due for a Stockport County medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Stockport County

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Stockport County rebuffed over Marcus Bettinelli

Market

Market

Stockport County promote Andrew Moore from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andrew Moore 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.

Match

Stockport County caught on 97 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Cardiff City scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

In brief
