If Dan Crowley wanted to leave and he had any respect for our club, he would leave whilst still contracted so that at least we'd get what he's worth.Quote:

That?s the reality. There?s also likely to be more interest.

Also Crowley himself will likely have more options to pick from in the summer as well.
If I were a football club chairman I'd wait till summer and use the 200k to offer him 1500 quid extra a week in wages on a three year deal.Quote:

I think if we were going to sell Crowley we would have done it by now. If a desperate or loaded club (or both) comes in with a silly offer in January, relative to his contract position, then yes there may be no option but to accept it, however his potential value to us in the second half of the season has been well illustrated by what we've missed since he's been injured. I don't think the decision to keep or sell him will say anything about the club's ambition - it will be dictated by the size of the offer and the player's own opinion on his future - but obviously I hope he decides like Jodi Jones that he's found a home at Meadow Lane and that the grass isn't always greener elsewhere.
I think it's fairly common knowledge that Dan wanted to go on deadline day in the summer window but we refused offers
If he wants to go next month and we get a decent offer then it would probably be a mistake to keep a player who isn't 100% committed
It was different with Ruben, who ran his contract down but wasn't agitating to go in the meantime
From what I hear there is encouraging news on the players who have been going through rehab which will soon give everyone a fillip
Maynard also suggested we may be seeing one or two additions in January
I'm looking forward to the second half of the season whether Dan is here or not
With the exception of JJ,there isn't anyone in the wings who can excite the fans, light up and change the course of a game, like DC. There is no other player in this division, that is anywhere near as talented, he's quite simply, irreplaceable. When he's playing well and combining him with JJ, we may never see the like again in a Notts shirt for quite some time if either or both, leave.Quote:

As a paying customer, this is what I want.Quote:
