John Manship, Tom’s father, is mentioned in that report as having an involvement. He was the principal shareholder at Hyde until a few years ago when Tom played for them.

Everyone’s favourite flamingo has departed Kempston Rovers and joined Moneybags Peterborough Sports I guess it was the fact they only just missed out on promotion last season (by 16 places) that attracted him, no cynical comments about budget size please.

Wisbech have confirmed Bunt’s won’t be there next season as well as a couple of others they wouldn’t have wanted to have lost, would think a few UCL Premier Clubs in the Northampton area will be asking for his number, Pagnell an option??

David Bell signs for Irchester, great signing for them

James Jepson is the new manager at Hinckley AFC.

Bunt’s going to Rugby, Holbech are making some signings but can’t see anyone finishing above Rugby next season.

Finners gone to Daventry as Parky’s assistant, also joining the crew there Pete Harris one of the youth team coaches from the old club.

Tom Shaw has retired to join Lincoln City as coach.

Delroy Gordon leaves Stamford for Bedworth

Jon Ashton leaves Nuneaton to link up with Dino Maamaria again as assistant manager at Stevenage.

Michael Corcoran has swapped one play-off final loser for another, albeit he’s jumped back up to Step 2 in doing so. He’s left Hendon and joined Hampton & Richmond.

Gary Mulligan has completed the set by joining Corby from the Ploppies.
