When you have that type of talent you have to fast-track it to peak performance. They did anything but.
One way I look at it....August '21 saw the true picture....RR 100% important to Notts' season ahead. Doyle 0% finally retired after stretching out his playing career to 39/40 years of age
April '21 Doyle 100% importance to Ardley's team, Ruben 0% never gets a game.....but August's picture was true and April's was disastrous for our club.
Anyway, enough of that. The reason I only quote your last sentence is because that's probably the most important part of the interview - when he says he would regret leaving if we go on to win promotion.
He was referring to the summer but surely it's just as applicable to the January window. He wants to see out his contract.
Like you, I think that would be great news. I don't want to read on here some bean counter wanting the club to pocket 400-500K ish at the expense of losing a difference maker like Ruben.
