My take is that I would be really disappointed if Williams goes now, but wouldn't blame him if he wants to better himself. The question though, is whether bettering himself means solely in a higher league with more income, or would he be better taking a longer term view and continue what he is building here at Notts?
Having read the article I was also boosted by it. At least should the worst happen Notts will likely be getting serious money.
I wonder if Joe Palmers BBC article was telling clubs that not only do we not need to sell players but also our manager unless the money was right.
From Lukes' point of view the big plusses for him would appear to be that he would be with his family a lot more, a load more pay and the chance to be in the Premier League in a couple of years. However, why leave a club where he is happy, well respected, is well on the way to getting the team that he wants and doesn't have to worry about recruitment.
