“Those lists are changing all the time. When we know what division we are in we will have a recruitment meeting some time in May and finalise a list of four players for each position and then myself and Barry Fry will get to work.
“We had Barry out at the weekend having final looks at players and I’ll probably go and look at a couple myself soon.
“I’ve been looking at a lot of video footage lately as well.

“Our scouting process is very thorough. I expect my scouts to multi-task. They will go and look at a certain player, but if anyone else catches their eye I want to know about them.
“I also like to know about a target’s body language when he’s subbed or when he’s sat in the stands.”
Fry has dismissed reports that Swindon Town midfielder Scott Twine is among the Posh targets.
The 21 year-old was linked with Posh in a national newspaper last weekend.
