MATT AIMING TO KEEP ELLIOT NEWBY
'I'll hopefully find out one way or the other in the next 24 hours, but I want to keep Elliot 100 per cent, and I'm doing everything I can to make it happen,' said the Alty manager. 'I have already spoken to Elliot about it, and he won't take any persuading. He has loved it here. I've given him the freedom to do what he wants in the final third, and he has been scoring goals and playing well.
'It won't be a further loan, if I have my way. We'll take his contract over, and he will become an Altrincham player but I need their manager to pick up his phone first! He's been blanking me, not picking up or answering my texts but I will get through to him, because I need to know what his plans are for Elliot.
'If he's not going to play him, I hope he'll let us keep him, because he has been a positive influence from day one and would be a real asset for us.'

WAYNE ROONEY TO ALTRINCHAM FC
Speaking later the Altrincham Supremo confirmed he would like‘Wayne Rooney at Moss Lane, as he lives locally and would be given the freedom to do what he wants and isn’t being played. Amazingly Jose Mourinho has been blanking any approaches and not picking up or answering texts.
