The boys are back in town

[durhampie]

Wow !! I knew Notts fans were fickle ..but
Him and Ruben were our most creative players, yes we can replace him but he played a big part in us getting promoted so the least we can do is give him until the End of June ESPECIALLY when we don't know ANYTHING about the communication between him and the club ... talk about a kangaroo court
You were the type that hung people for being witches etc in the medieval times

Or, is he just using us has a last resort in the event that his primary move fails to materialise..

Who knows what the reason is, which is why it’s ridiculous when people say f**k him, he’s had enough time.
Maybe Nemane put in a counter offer weeks ago on his contract and the club are waiting to see what replacements are out there before they say yes/no?
Maybe negotiations are bouncing back/forth?
Maybe his cat died and football is just the last thing on his mind.

Exactly. It's normal for footballers to negotiate the best deal for them, whether that's with one club or multiple. This idea that players must accept our terms right now of F off is ridiculous. Fans tend to see all this from a purely emotional perspective, but for the players it's also a practical decision about what's best for their careers and families. That stuff takes time to figure out.

Couple of interesting piccys:

Has Nemane and Bostock gone?
I may have missed it.

Was Bostock likely to go considering he has over a year of his contract to go?

Looks to me Nemane is running his contract out in a few days and will be moving on. Otherwise why else would you leave it so late and miss the start of pre-season??

[durhampie]

Do we need someone who really doesn't want to be here ?. We don't want unhappy players in the dressing room, we know what happened the last time we did....

Bostock was there, no Nemane pictured though

Got tickets for Stoke & Forest and saw that Nemane was there with rest of the squad at the ground.

No I'd say we don't want anyone who doesn't want to be here, but we don't know yet if that is the case. Could be wrong but might be media team managing the announcement?

SongBird beat me to it and put what I was going to comment. We definitely don't want anyone who doesn't want to be here, but we don't know yet if that is the case. It's all speculation and guesswork at this stage to keep us occupied whilst we don't have games and team selections to talk about.

It won't be long before people get the answer to the classic 'will he, won't he'
