Salisbury look to loan out trio

Sandell has scored eight goals in 49 Blue Square Premier games for City

Salisbury City have made three players available for loan in a bid to ease their current financial problems.

The club will allow strikers Andy Sandell, Matt Tubbs and Robbie Matthews to leave on temporary transfers.

It is hoped they will be signed before the weekend game in order for the Whites' wage bill to be reduced.

Sandell has been one of the team's best players this Blue Square Premier season while Tubbs has scored more than 100 goals in his Salisbury career.

In September, the club launched a fund raising drive to raise �100,000 to help them compete in the top level of English non-league football but failed to reach half of that target.

Chairman Neville Beal recently reassured supporters that the club was not about to enter administration despite their off-the-pitch problems.

Tubbs scored the play-off winner to get Salisbury promoted in 2007

Sandell joined Salisbury from Bristol Rovers at the beginning of last season and has scored five goals this term already. His availability could spark interest from Football League clubs.

Tubbs and Matthews have played a major part in the Whites' climb up the football pyramid but Tubbs has only scored once this term and Matthews has started just two matches.

All three are full-time squad members, and could be loaned out before Salisbury travel to Mansfield on Saturday.
