Town boss Paul Jewell is set to meet owner Marcus Evans next Tuesday to discuss their plans for the season ahead. Evans is due back in the UK on Monday after a holiday in the Bahamas having made offers to some of the club’s out-of-contract players while he has been away.

Town manager Roy Keane says there are unlikely to be any additions to his squad before January and that includes Senegalese defender Ibrahima Faye. The Blues boss says that the paperwork relating to the move to sign the recent trialist is holding up that deal, although he hints at the outside possibility of a loan defender joining the club before the new year.
