Last year's is also available here (for comparison), but as I don't have an easy way of getting the PDF into Excel I'll leave that to someone else.
EDIT - Manual list captured below (apologies if I've missed anyone or any of this is incorrect, if it is i'll re-edit)

"Of the 900,000 limit, there are 502,957 in the hands of Shareholders and the remainder (397,043) are unissued." so the above names represent 425,826 (or 84.66%) of the issued shares.
The Board have stated an intent to add an extra 300,000 shares (which would be available at a minimum price of £6 per share) to these unissued shares. This needs Shareholder agreement.
Yes it's very frustrating to have lost Done, and it leaves us short up front.
However, it should be remembered that we're 7th in League 1, and have managed to only sell 1 player during the window despite that (after earlier rumours of Tanser, Allen, Bennett etc all going). Additionally it looks like we're getting O'Connell back, and if Done has gone for £500k plus then I think it's a good fee.
Whilst people want us to shell out £100k plus on players (and I'm all for it in the case of people like O'Connell), unfortunately with the wages we spend we can only look to attract upwardly mobile players, who want to come to work for Hill and part of the attraction is that we will sell them on if they perform, and not keep them here at a ransom. Hopefully the money can be used to get Hill's targets for next Summer, Andrew or Brandy can step into Done's starting role and we can continue to battle all the teams in this division with a budget bigger than ours.
Using Lama's squad list from the start of the season, I've had a look to see who we have contracted for next year. I'm unsure of the status of January signings like Lynch, so if anyone could advise that'd be great. Personally, I'd keep all of those under contract, and prioritize deals for Lillis, Rafferty, Bennett, Hery, Allen, Done plus try and secure O'Connell on loan again. That'd give us a core squad of 15 (I think!?) so we could be looking at quite a turnover in playing staff to take us up to 23 or so. I can't wait to see who Hilly has lined up!

I recently read a BBC story with Gary Dicker discussing Crawley's poor form. I clicked a relevant link to the one about Dicker when he signed for Crawley, and in it said
"It's a great move for me personally because my family are down here and it has been hard commuting," he said."
and then goes on to say
"Dicker, who is based in Steyning, says footballing reasons were among his decision to join the club."
Surely he wasn't commuting the 4.5 hours each way from Steyning to Dale each day, any idea what was going on? I'm guessing he went back on rest days or something to see his family. Anyone who travels long journeys regularly will know how tired they can be, seems strange in this modern age of sport science a player would be allowed to travel that far regularly.
OK, I'll start by posting a football manager style potential signing...
CHIMBONDA WANTS A CLUB BBC Sport's Neil Johnston: "Former Tottenham and Wigan full-back Pascal Chimbonda, who was a substitute for France at the 2006 World Cup final, tells me from Paris that he is still looking for a new club.
"The 34-year-old played pre-season games for non-League Market Drayton and Colwyn Bay but is now keeping fit with twice daily gym sessions. He says there have been talks with a club abroad 'but nothing concrete'.
"Chimbonda, who helped Tottenham win the 2008 League Cup, says he is prepared to return to England and would sign for a League Two club 'challenging for promotion'. He says he is not asking for 'huge money'. He is available on a free transfer so he can sign after the 23:00 BST deadline."
Monday is my Girlfriend's graduation. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a restaurant in or around Rochdale/Whitworth/Littleborough area for a celebratory meal in the evening?
