Is it just as simple as wanting to progress their careers in a higher league or do they genuinely think that Notts won?t or can?t go much higher? And if so, why? For their part the owners never seem too non-plussed about any departures, like ?if they don?t want to be part of it, that?s ok?.next!? So that is encouraging.

I guess it is just in our nature now to worry that everything is just going to crumble down around us after everything the club and its fans have been through for so long.
It is a bit of a pisser that we lose key people at the drop of a phone call, especially when you see that someone like Stockport have somehow managed to keep hold of Challinor.

The optimistic side of me thinks we could afford to pay silly money to keep hold of them but choose not to in the name of sustainability. And also the owners have confidence in themselves to get someone better.

My goodwill to Luke Williams has definitely run out he will be gutted to hear.
