Day 275

Out-of-favour right-back Paul Robson came to me asking if he could leave the club today. He wants first-team football, and if he’s not going to get it here he’ll go. His contract runs out at the end of the season, and I had no intention of renewing it, but now we’ve popped him on the transfer list as well. Robson blew his chance to win a place in the team earlier in the season, and he hasn’t managed to get back in.

I’ll be happy to have the £400 a week we’re paying him available to give to somebody better; he’ll be happy to find a club that will let him ply his trade in the first team during the peak of his playing career. So that’s good news all round.

In other good news, Wrexham were beaten 2-0 by Alfreton this evening—knocking them out of contention for the title. That just leaves Mansfield to worry about, and we only need to get two points out of our remaining four matches to render that threat irrelevant.
