Veteran David Eyres (pictured) is expected to sign a new one year contract soon and is expected to be named club captain when the deal is confirmed. Eyres had received other offers but decided to wait to see the outcome of any takeover before deciding on his future. Eyres said, “There was a contract on the table a while ago, but it was withdrawn when all the off-field problems blew up. It has been tempting to accept another offer because none of us knew what would happen here, but I wanted to give the club as long as possible. The gaffer says things might be sorted by Wednesday, and I hope that happens because I need match fitness. I’m joining in all the training, but it would be risky to play any games until I’m under contract. As far as I’m concerned, it can’t come soon enough.”
