Boardroom

Thomas Wood is out at Fleetwood Town

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Squad

The knee: Nathaniel Clyne out for 81 days

81 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fleetwood Town lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom

Stephen Hawkins minds the shop at Fleetwood Town

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Stephen Hawkins recited it perfectly.

Market

Jordan Davies asks to leave Fleetwood Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town make their move for Timur Tutierov

$1.1M on the table at Sunderland. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town baulk at the price for Benji Wetshi

Burnley wanted more than $520.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

An offer of $140.0K for Miguel Ángel Brau

Fleetwood Town have gone to Coventry City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

The step up is real for Matty English

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Fleetwood Town

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

In brief
