FIFA, the global body that controls this beautiful game we know as football, are being investigated for bribery and corruption and it seems that the villains of the piece might be close to the very top echelons of the organisation. If the allegations are proved to be correct, then you have to think the unthinkable and wonder how far down the chain of football administration, the stench of graft will seep. Heaven forbid that we will eventua

Notts County have secured the signing of York City striker Vadaine Oliver on a six-month loan deal. The 24-year-old scored 10 goals in 42 appearances last season as the Minstermen were relegated from League Two. Oliver, a former Sheffield Wednesday trainee, will remain at Meadow Lane until January 7, a fixture away at Morecambe. He has previously had spells at Lincoln City, Crewe Alexandra and Mansfield Town, and has been allocated the number 9 shirt. Oliver is set to compete

Kevin Nolan has described his Notts County charges as "absolutely fantastic" after their 2-1 home win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday. The Magpies moved three points clear of League Two's relegation zone as Jon Stead and Richard Duffy scored, while Manny Onariase's late strike did not prove more than a consolation in the end. Nolan told the official Notts site: "I've got to take my hat off to the boys - they were absolutely fantastic. "We created a lot of chances, which is very p

Kevin Nolan has reassured Notts County fans that the squad will be strengthened with players who will not only make the team competitive in League Two, but who will be at Meadow Lane for the full season. The Magpies have been relatively quiet in the transfer window so far, with Terry Hawkridge and Lewis Alessandra the only two acquisitions, although every player who was already on the books and offered a new deal has renewed their stay. Some fans have expressed concern at the lack of n

Liam Noble has stressed that Notts County need a reaction in Tuesday night's fixture against Crawley Town following their weekend loss to Exeter City. The Magpies' proud unbeaten league home record, which stood since April 2017, came to an end on Saturday as goals from Jake Taylor and Jayden Stockley gave the visitors a 2-1 win. Notts are in action again in midweek, the fixture having been rescheduled due to their FA Cup progress, and Noble says it works out well to have the chance to

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan says he has not heard back yet from the FA or EFL about whether he will face a touchline ban for being sent to the stands against Wycombe Wanderers. The Magpies boss was dismissed by referee Ben Toner during the goalless draw on Good Friday at Meadow Lane after protesting a decision not to award Shola Ameobi a penalty in the first half. If one does come his way, however, Nolan says he will dispute it and is confident of having it overturned. “I haven’

Notts County head coach Martin Paterson believes his side’s growing resilience will be tested again this weekend when they face League Two leaders Gillingham.

What a great pre-season it has been! I’ve been to every match and, frankly, I don’t want pre-season to end. With the bitter reflections of last season still fresh in my mind, I have been thrilled by the passing and movement that RM is keen to instil, and that is rapidly becoming this team’s trademark. The early matches amply demonstrated the skills of the new players while also showing that Jimmy Spencer is back to his best although he sti

Hartlepool United manager Ronnie Moore has expressed his 'disappointment' that last weekends game at Meadow Lane had been postponed. The pools have a backlog of fixtures due to postponements and will be one of the busiest teams within the Football League as they play catch up.

New Notts County loan signing Vadaine Oliver has expressed his eagerness to fire the club up the table and avoid the relegation stress he encountered last year with parent club York City. The Minstermen dropped out of the Football League despite the 24-year-old's 10 goals, which saw him finish the season at the club's top scorer. Oliver told the official site: “I’m happy to be here – it’s a massive club and a great opportunity for me. “When you’re in a relegation side it’s a strug

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has revealed that Jon Stead was in fact the subject of a bid from the United States, but was not willing to let his top scorer go. There were rumours going round in January that the striker was on the radar of an American club, but ultimately he stayed put at Meadow Lane. Stead scored his 11th goal of the season against Cheltenham Town on Saturday, which proved crucial as the final result was 2-1 and helped the Magpies create some distance between them and

Alan Hardy has reassured Notts County fans that the signings they have lined up will ensure that the team will "mean business" in League Two this season. So far, the Magpies have only recruited two players, Terry Hawkridge and Lewis Alessandra, while the owner himself has claimed that four more players will be taken on before the deadline. Some Notts fans have expressed concern over numerous issues, including the seemingly slow pace of recruitment and the desire for more than four play

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County's mentality in claiming a fourth win on the bounce against Crawley Town on Saturday.

The lads have got a mentality about them now. “They’ve come here and made sure they played the way they wanted to play and

Notts County have announced that Colin Slater has been named an honorary vice president of the club. The 83-year-old worked on his first Notts game in 1959 as a local newspaper journalist, making his BBC Radio Nottingham bow in 1968.

"It's difficult to express how honoure

Alan Judge has admitted that he will seek a loan move away from Brentford this month if he's not involved in Saturday's Championship game against Norwich City. The former Notts County winger had been out of action for nearly two years with a compound leg fracture but made his first-team comeback in the FA Cup third-round defeat against his former club. However, Judge did not feature in the Bees squad for the subsequent two games against Bolton and Reading, and speaking to the Sunday Ti

Lewis Alessandra has claimed that nobody within the Notts County camp has given up on the prospect of automatic promotion from League Two. The Magpies sit seven points adrift of the top three with five games remaining in the season and have been in bad form over the last few weeks, meaning many fans have all but settled for the playoffs at best. However, Alessandra is adamant that, with 15 points left to play for and the tightness and inconsistency among even the top teams of the divis
