Ian Harte has apologised to Marcus Stewart for his outrageous overacting which saw the Town striker sent off in the Town-Leeds game in February. Town captain Matt Holland had words with the Leeds full-back while the two were away with Ireland last week.
Young Town striker Guillermo Graaven has been told that police will not be charging him with rape. Graaven and another man were arrested in August after an incident involving a 17-year-old girl in Myrtle Road in town. Graaven was quick to catagorically deny any wrong-doing.
Reports in the Birmingham press today suggest that Villa s current bid for Moustapha Hadji is likely to fail. Villa are reported to have offered £1 million plus Julian Joachim, whereas Coventry are said to want £3 million plus the Villa striker. £4 million seems to be the quoted value of Hadji.
Town s young Finnish goalkeeper Tomi Niemi has been called up to play in his nation s under 18 squad for the games against Turkey in Finland on 12th and 14th September.
Matt Holland and Guillermo Graaven are both suffering from injuries as Town go into a matchless weekend. Graaven s injury, sustained in last night s reserve game, has undergone x-rays which will show the extent of the injury later today.
