'Asked if a free transfer is an option, Hockaday said: “That’s up to the powers that be but we’re getting him in, having a look and the lad is doing everything that’s been asked of him.” '

Conjunction not preceded by a comma; correct use of the apostrophe - thrice; every word spelt correctly!

"Forest Green don’t want to stand in his way"

translated as "Forest Green don't want him and want to free up his wages, but know they cant place a value on him as no-one will take him"

As your use of the colon doesn't precede a list, I would have thought it correct that "totally" should have a capital letter.

Why this place is frequented by smart arses, when the reason for discussion is CCFC, I find baffling. Do you think we will all bow down to your superior knowledge at picking holes in a local rag (which is after all Mirror Group - what did you expect?) or are you simply a c**t?

No need for colon before speech, so I'm afraid it's wrong.
