League Two Signings Thread 2024/25

There are things that I still know where they are but can't manage any more to get there.

I know what you mean, with me it's often toilets.

I think they are still at the club and under contract, and unless another club comes in for them, they'll remain at Notts. The problem is, players like Rawlinson and Stone may have to take a pay cut to find another club, which they may not be willing to do.

As Jon Parkin so succinctly puts it - no dough, no go.

The club offered the player a deal and if they want to see it out and be professional and available then why shouldn't they.

I wouldn't have thought they'd have made it public unless the player was on board though.

There's a possibility that their contracts may have some kind of a none promotion / appearance clause, if so they may find it beneficial to leave NCFC for a club where they will actually be considered to play. Rawlo has been in the dog fight with us and i respect what he has done, like earned his wage, but Stone always was a misfit, a very poor buy from Burslem.

A few recent L2 moves of interest.

Notts-born Farrend Rawson joins Accrington from Morecambe. He was Morecambe captain, a giant of a man and played alongside Bedeau. In the light of KC leaving this could be one that got away.

Does anyone know if the players ‘allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere’ are still at the club or have they mutually agreed to cancel their contracts? I assume they have, because we have players listed as available for transfer and there must be a difference.

No, it's the same players. Just wording in the press release.

"Connell Rawlinson has been made available for transfer...
...goalkeeper Aidan Stone and winger Will Randall will be given the opportunity to pursue opportunities elsewhere."

"Under contract, available for transfer

Aidan Stone
Connell Rawlinson
Will Randall"

It's the club inviting offers for them. They remain under contract but I guess have been told game time will be very limited next season if they stay.

And can someone re post the retained list for me? Had a Quick Look on line and only finding last summers. Apologies for the laziness

Depends on how much you want to play football and try and earn an extra year or two on a new contract. In Rawlinsons case I still think he would do a good job as the old head in a back four..

That w***** Harry Smith is back in League 2 - just signed for Swindon after being released by Sutton.

Just been on the Crawley Town fans forum .
You've got to be sorry for their fans and Scott Lindsey amidst the shambolic state of the club after their outstanding play off performances and promotion.
Their games against Notts were very entertaining with them playing a similar style of football and the PO games v Franchise FC showed they could defend as well.
Apparently Orsi went to Burton for just £75k after activating a sell on clause.
Lolos was very good too with securing a move to Bolton Wanderers and Addai going to Stockport.
CTFC forum claims that both Liam Kelly and Williams will also be leaving. Kelly was outstanding in both PO final games dictating play superbly Matty Palmer style.
Williams is also a very experienced and talented CB who should prove to be great assets to new clubs.

Every time I check in to see the latest EFL transfers news, another member of their promotion-winning side seemed to have either been sold or left. Very sad, as they had a cracking team built for next to nothing. From Notts’ perspective, if things don’t work out with Stuart Maynard, Scott Lindsey would appear to be a perfect fit.
