Not normally one to comment on incoming signings but this has caught my eye, not to mention the three-year deal.

Feels like a statement of intent.

[Yeovil Town FC @YTFC]

Welcome, Zain Westbrooke! ✍️

We are delighted to announce the signing of Zain Westbrooke from Doncaster Rovers on a three-year deal.

I like this appointment.

Carlisle are in a stable position and off the back of a very good season but work still to be done.

Promotion the obvious aim but like Elliot in terms of the bigger picture stuff too.

Looking forward to seeing how this pants out.

[Carlisle United @officialcufc]

Carlisle United are delighted to announce the appointment of Rob Elliot as the club’s new Head Coach 🤝

[National League Notebook @NLNotebook]

I think two things can be true:

- Mark Hughes did a good job at Carlisle United
- The club are right to make a change & progress

After two dreadful years, Carlisle feel stable. The 95 point tally was a fantastic effort.

Time for the club to really kick on now.

#CUFC

[Carlisle United @officialcufc]

Carlisle United can confirm that Mark Hughes has left his position as Head Coach by mutual agreement.

@Rogerwaters1942 @HufcxG A Lee Clark title challenge wasn't on my agenda for 2027 but I've been wrong before!

@HufcxG Yeah, sorry about that! And thank you for your kind words.

How you feeling about Lee Clark?

[National League Notebook @NLNotebook]

@curtiz58 Amended. Thanks, Victor.

[National League Notebook @NLNotebook]

Big fan of this.

Looking forward to seeing how Southend United move over the next year or so.

[Chris Phillips @CJPhillips1982]

Southend United are working alongside MRKT Insights to appoint their next manager. MRKT Insights have worked very closely with Rochdale on player recruitment in the last few years as well as other clubs on player and manager recruitment.

[National League Notebook @NLNotebook]

I've got a lot of time for Andy Butler. Very grounded, very honest.

A lot of work still to be done at Scunthorpe United but feels like that togetherness remains.

This is made more amusing when you consider Robbie Savage's post-match comments after Tom Knowles was named supporters player of the season.

@OffTheLineBlog Love this Joe. Enjoy your break.

[National League Notebook @NLNotebook]

From a club on its arse to back-to-back play-off campaigns & an FA Trophy title. Kevin Maher and his team have done remarkable jobs at Southend United.

Whatever the reasons for their departure, victory together at Wembley is the perfect send-off.

[Southend United FC @SUFCRootsHall]

Southend United can confirm that Kevin Maher and members of his coaching staff, Darren Currie and Mark Bentley, will depart the Club following a review at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
