Crewe Alexandra FC have reportedly abandoned reported interests in former Manchester United star Wes Brown.
The 37-year old has been an object of speculation to join the Alex following his release by Blackburn. However, the assistant manager of the club Kenny Lunt revealed that the player reneged on a planned meeting.
“He was supposed to come in and speak to us. He never did come in. It would have been nice to sit down with him,” Lunt told BBC Radio Stoke.
“We’ve moved on and we’re now looking at different options. I wouldn’t say there’s no chance but we’ve got a list of players that we’re looking at,” he added.
On the other hand, Crewe Alex has confirmed that defender George Ray has agreed a two year deal with the club. the new contract would run until the summer of 2019. Ray has played at least 100 games for the club as at the final day of the last term. The 23-year old is expected to continue in his current capacity with the League Two side.

David Artell doesn’t think that there is no reason for Crewe Alexandra to remain motivated in the on-going season anymore.
It’s a certainty now that Crewe will not be one of the two teams to be getting demoted to national League as they have established a 9-point lead over Hartlepool which is at the second last position in the League Two standings.
That was Crewe’s main target when Artell had begun his stint as a coach earlier in the year, to avoid demotion and they have been able to fulfil that target.
Now what’s the motivation for them for the couple of games that they still have in hand? Is there any motivation at all? That’s the question because the results of those remaining games are going to be irrelevant.
If Crewe wins, they may move a couple of positions higher from their current position of 17th, but, that won’t have any real meaning because that will not bring them in contention for the title or anything. Continue reading 'David Artell comments on Crewe Alexandra'»
Crewe Alexandra manager Steven Davis has challenged his wingers to prove that they can accommodate into the current system at the club.
After failing to get results with the 4-3-3 system in the first half of the season, Crewe Alexandra have been in setting from the switch to 3-5-2 formation. Initially, this switch was largely forced due to the injury situation. Since the club has found itself extremely comfortable playing in this way, Davies has retained this formation for the last few months. It has continued even after the return of first-team players likeRyan Colclough.
After missing most of the campaign due to injury,Ryan Colclough has just returned to training and he is expected to compete for a first-team spot. It would be easier said than done since other players have managed to take his place in the time he has spent on the sidelines. Davies has confirmed that he does not plan to return to the 4-3-3 formation since it has not worked for the club. Instead, he says that the current formation is set to stay and it will be after the players to change their game according to it. After having suffered a string of defeats in the first half, Crewe managed a run of seven wins from December to the end of February. Continue reading 'Steven Davis has challenged his wingers'»
