this better not be true!

If he went back on an agreement, we don't want him anyway.  I am sure King is checking his list and checking it twice, and will come up with a better alternative.

Yeah I agree, shame if we don't get him after he gave his word he'd sign as he looked decent but if he's got offered a longer contract that could decide it.

No doubt King will just find someone else if this one falls through.

anyone heard anything else about this yet?

I'm pretty sure this Grimsby story is true. Why else would the official site take the story off of the front page?

Bloody fishy people!! :fu:

Slade expects Whalley miss

Sat 09 Jul, 2:53 PM

Grimsby are set to lose out to Swindon in the race to sign Wigan midfielder Gareth Whalley.

Mariners boss Russell Slade confirmed he has spoken to the former Bradford and Crewe midfielder about the possibility of securing his switch to Blundell Park.

But Slade has now all but admitted defeat in his attempts to lure the 31-year-old to the club and revealed the Robins are on the verge of completing Whalley's transfer.

"With his quality, there was always going to be a lot of interest when you think he has been playing regularly in the Championship," Slade told the club's official website.

"I was hoping to speak to him this weekend and I knew that Swindon had spoken to him.

"But once the link between ourselves and him was out, I knew it would be harder to tie him down and he got in touch with me to tell me he was accepting the offer from Swindon."
