News Round Up

Chester are now claimed to be on the verge of being sold to a Danish consortium. Palle Rasmussen and the Chester projekt.dk consortium are the claimed bidders with Stephen Vaughan jnr telling the press they plan to defer payments to creditors until June 2011 despite the Conference telling them they had to meet tax and footballing debts within seven days.

City Fans United have met with the Danes, and released a statement saying they had no money to pay creditors and no business plan and had been asked to withdraw from bidding as CFU would not support them. Vaughan also tells the press that former Chester boss Mark Wright and his ex-Liverpool pal Jan Molby both had a hand in setting up the deal through a PR company owned by Wright.

Barnet striker Paul Furlong spent three hours in hospital after Saturday's win at Port Vale after being struck in the face by the ball, and will discover this week whether he had broken anything once the swelling goes down. Dagenham boss John Still will undergo surgery this week for a gall bladder operation after he was taken ill on Friday night.

Lincoln defender Adam Watts will miss most of the rest of the season after breaking a leg on Saturday. He is due to have surgery on Monday to pin the joint. Tales of more non-league clubs overspending - Eastwood Town, new home of Mat Bailey, is claimed to have a £10,000 a week budget which is somewhere on a par with Accrington, while Staines have plans to go full time on gates averaging just 455 this season.
