There are still some details that have to be sorted out with Coventry and it would only be a one-month loan. There's a good chance it will happen.

If I'd been able to put the collection together in one go, say over two years, we'd have had a special team, most wouldn't stay. One or two glory seasons and they were off. To them, the north-east was too far out. They wanted to be with the big hitters.

Jonathan's been in the squad before when Steve McLaren had him,

The way he's done his job is very good. This is the reward for that and I'm delighted he's signed.

There will be changes this week because of the amount of games.

We have to make sure we win our last two games and hope the other games go for us on Saturday.
