The dugout

Jack Wint keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Salford City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

Salford City make their move for Lewis Bate

$930.0K on the table at Stockport County. 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

Georgie Gent turns down Salford City

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Barnsley keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

A falling-out at Salford City

Alessandro Citi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Salford City

5 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.

Match

Salford City come up short against Harrogate Town

Harrogate Town left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A row about effort at Salford City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kelly N'Mai was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Othmane Maamma

Salford City asked and Sheffield United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Salford City come up short against Walsall

Walsall left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

In brief
