No deal for Romaine Mundle at that price
Salford City offered $4.0M; Sunderland said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Salford City bid $1.6M for Patrick Roberts
The offer went to Birmingham 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.

Salford City make their move for Alex Bass
$380.0K on the table at Peterborough United. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Salford City promote Timothy Matthews from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Timothy Matthews 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.
