Luke Williams to Portsmouth?

That was not the 'I am going nowhere', I was hoping for, in Charlie's post match interview.

I thought he pretty much killed off the rumour, not sure what else he could have said.

No disrespect but that figure won't touch the surface. Birmingham were willing to pay over £1 million in the summer for Tshimanga. Chesterfield are expecting him to leave for around 650k this month. Langstaff is a better player and has 22 goals while sitting on a 3 year contract. Promotion is worth over 500k to the club, so to sell our biggest asset mid-season it would have to be over that figure. Let's not forget we got 150k for Roberts who had 12 months left

Promotion is worth over 1m. That's why relegated clubs to NL get nice lump sums for 2 or 3 yrs after

Personally, I think it more likely Rodders will leave than Langstaff…but who knows

Don't think Rodney will leave now. Can go on a free in the Summer so if a club want him now it will only be a token fee so, is it worth letting him go for 100k if he can help you get promoted or a nice pay day at Wembley?

que sera, sera

Exactly, whatever will be will be

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but IF Luke decides to move on (a bigger club, bigger fanbase, bigger salary so a no brainer really if true), do you think any of the current NL managers would be a good fit ?
From what I have seen and read, I have always liked Luke Garrard. Thought his post match interview last night was spot on. Seems to know the game well.
All academic at the moment I know.

Well if he does decide to leave (but I hope he doesn't) then he can take Bostock with him.

zzzzzzzzzz durham we get you don't rate him.

His odds have dropped to 6/1 and is now 3rd favourite. Maybe that's due to his interview last night. I'd have expected him to sidestep the question had there been something more in it and be a lot more cagey and defensive.

That he was quite open and forthcoming when asked about it and spoke about owing Notts something for giving him the opportunity suggests he doesn't believe anything will come of it.

I do rate LW he is a first class coach, but i think he has been suckered into thinking that JB was still a wonderkid. Personally I just dont rate him at all. I had my doubts the first time I saw him, and now I am 100% sure. Also, it now seems that others on here are having the same opinion...

It’s too early to say, the fact in the last 2 years he played quite a few games in L1 and obviously had played before some games in the the French top division and Forest a few games in the champ level would suggest he has the ability to play non league.
The questions are is he 100% up for it, is he still in top shape at 30 (should be) and can LW make it work.
