Rumours confirmed in The Argus today. I get the feeling Whingy is off...
Good news that we've already spoken to 6 or 7 players though!

Albion have held talks with Northampton’s Jason Crowe as they wait for Andrew Whing to sign a new deal.
The versatile 30-year-old defender visited Brighton to chat to boss Russell Slade about a possible reunion.
A move for Crowe, who played 37 League Two games under Slade’s management at Grimsby in 2004/05, could hinge on whether right-back Whing stays at Withdean.
The reigning player-of-the-season was recently offered a two-year deal by the Seagulls but is still considering his options.
Crowe was arguably one of few prized assets in the Northampton squad relegated from League One last term.
He is perhaps best known as a right-back but can also play on the left of defence, as wing back, in midfield or in central defence, where he featured in several games last term.
Slade said: “We are making contingency plans if Andrew Whing decides to go elsewhere.
“You also have to remember Jason is very versatile. I know all about him. We are looking at targets and Jason is on that list.
“I’m talking to players. I’ve had a chat with probably six or seven players in different positions.”
Northampton have offered out-of-contract Crowe a new deal but he is expected to move on.
He said: “I’m a free agent and I’ve been to Brighton to see Russell. That’s all I’m saying at this stage.”
Millwall and Norwich are also thought to be interested in Crowe’s services.
Albion are reported to be the only club to have put forward a firm offer though neither Slade nor the player would comment on whether terms had been discussed.
Crowe, a former Arsenal trainee, had four years at Portsmouth, scoring a spectacular long-range goal when they beat the Seagulls 4-2 at Fratton Park in 2002.
