Local press reports in Swindon are claiming that the announcement of the new managerial appointment will be made tomorrow. Former Germany international midfielder Didi Hamann is rapidly becoming the bookmaker’s favourite with talk of compensation deal negotiations with Leicester – where he is currently first team coach – holding things up.
Bristol City are reportedly checking out 23 year old left back Joel Lynch who is currently on Forest’s books, but who had to take a back seat after Paul Konchesky was signed on loan from Liverpool earlier in the season.
Former Cheltenham midfielder Martin Devaney is being tipped to return to Walsall where he spent a spell on loan this season. The 30 year old was recently released by Barnsley.
Rumours are also circulating that Oxford have signed former Wycombe striker Jon Paul Pittman who was released by the Chairboys following their promotion to League One. Oxford fans last saw 24 year old Pittman in April when he came on as a first half sub and was instrumental in grabbing a point with his fourth goal in an injury hit season.
