The first question was regarding him being linked with the FGR’s managers job. He answered very cleverly, as he nearly always does to be fair, but he certainly didn’t rule himself out of the running or pledge his future to Notts. I know he has big games coming up and is focusing on them, but I thought it was telling that he didn’t rule the job out.

It’s a big IF….but if we don’t get promoted this year we could not only lose Wootton, Roberts, Rodrigues, Sam, Brinds, Palmer and possibly Cameron but also our manager too….how big a job would it be to rebuild our squad for another push next season. Could we even expect to push for promotion after such a rebuild?

I think when looked at this way it makes this playoff campaign even more significant because if we do go up I’d expect all of those names to stay put…including Wootton.
