mark ellis targeted on 20:27 - May 12 with 11582 views | D_Dale | On the Crewe OS last week he was angling to stay, but maybe he's not had an offer (or else - if he has had talks with Dale - putting on a bit of pressure): Defender Mark Ellis hoping to extend his stay beyond this summer Mark Ellis is hoping he can extend his two-year stay at the club this summer. The defender is out of contract after making 92 appearances for the club over the last two seasons. The former Torquay United and Bolton defender helped the club lift the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy last season and played an important role in seeing us escape the drop into League Two this season. Ellis, 25, was voted as the supporters’ Man-of-the-Match against Preston North End at the weekend and he is hoping he has done enough to be offered a new deal. Steve Davis and his staff are still finalising their retain list with the likes of Ellis, Kelvin Mellor, Abdul Osman, Byron Moore and AJ Leitch-Smith all set to see their contracts expire. Mark told the club’s official web-site: “I’ve not spoken to the gaffer as yet. I am sure we will over the next couple of weeks. All I can do is wait and see if I’m offered anything. “I think I’ve proved myself in League One after proving myself in League Two last season and before that. I think I’ve improved as a player since I came to Crewe and I’ve enjoyed it. I have become a better defender and that is down to the manager and the coaching here. “It has been a tough season for everyone but we came through in the end and I’d said for a long time that there is enough talent in this squad for us to compete at this level. We can beat anyone on our day. We were only beaten once in our last six games and the lads showed great character to avoid relegation. “The contract is not something that I have been dwelling on but it is in the back of your mind because you like to know what is happening. I’m sure it will be sorted as soon as it can be. Mark added: “I would like to stay here. I have enjoyed it here and my family are settled.” Read more at http://www.crewealex.net/news/article/ellis-i-would-love-to-stay-1540290.aspx#KK | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

mark ellis targeted on 14:14 - May 16 with 10531 views | stigmundo77 | He's right footed so I'm hoping this means we have a chance of keeping O Connell. A lot will depend his pre season with Blackburn if they take a proper look at him. He's definitely a championship player in the making due to his level head and consistency. Spoke to a Crewe fan - they said Mark Ellis is decent in the air but prone to the odd mistake and slow ???? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

O'Connell one of several youngsters who have been retained by Blackurn, who have released 17 other players. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/11218581.Blackbu | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

I think trying to retain Jack O'Connell for a long loan deal should be one of Hills main priorities if possible, it would benefit all parties as he will get more experience this time in a higher league, at a club he already knows. | ![](/images/avatars/1164.gif) |

You're not exactly sticking your neck out there, OD! Hilly has made no secret of his admiration for O'Connell and wants to try and bring him back to the club. He's also been brutally honest and said he doesn't think there's much chance of it happening. We shall see. | ![](/images/avatars/1199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Shaun Miller released by Sheffield United as well, he was rated highly when he was at Crewe. Wouldn't be surprised to see us make a move for him, but wages may be an issue with anybody from Sheffield United (McGinty excepted, I assume we know what sort of wages he'll be demanding). Finished the season on loan at struggling Shrewsbury and scored 3 in 5 starts (and 3 sub appearances). [Post edited 16 May 2014 16:08]

Dale revolution.......thanks for informing us. Are we spending more money than we can afford............er..............no.
