Todd believes he'll rebuild Darlo

25 June 2009 15:18
Todd has seen a long list leave since his arrival at the Darlington Arena, with Robin Hulbert and Franz Burgmeier departing this week for Barrow and FA Vaduz respectively, while strikers Pawel Abbott and Gregg Blundell are poised to follow. But the new boss, who has persuaded Steve Foster and Ian Miller to stay, has lined up several new recruits who he hopes to sign when the club exit administration next week. He told the Northern Echo: "No players can sign yet, it's all done on verbal agreements, which is just how it was when I was at Bradford. People have to trust each other. "We're signing north-east lads who have played for other clubs higher up the league, have been released because they've been on decent money and want to get back to the region." Former Carlisle pair Chris Lumsdon and Jeff Smith are expected to start pre-season training at the Quakers' new training base at Aykley Heads in Durham next Thursday.
