Chesterfield baulk at the price for Florentino Luís
Ipswich Town wanted more than $6.1M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Ryan Stirk hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chesterfield can pretend not to have heard.

Andrew Harvey signs on for the long haul
Chesterfield moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Andrew Harvey, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.
Match21 Aug 2027
The wait goes on for Chesterfield
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Player ratings23 Aug 2027
Jordan Graham has a hand in both — 7.63
One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.63, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

An offer of $130.0K for Lee Ndlovu
Chesterfield have gone to Notts County 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.

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Chesterfield
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

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

Benjamin Cook steps up from the Chesterfield academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benjamin Cook has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
