The thing is, he didn't actually do even that though... (from 2:40 to 3:50 approx.)
I was commenting on what was reported in the Red Rag rather than what was actually said in his PM, Swaley.
''Kyle Wootton banged in two goals as Notts County beat Southend United 4-1 at the weekend - and then committed himself to the club’s bid for promotion back to the Football League''.
Now, whether or not they reported it incorrectly? Well, lazy reporting is normally par for the course for them.
Agree he’s definitely going and I believe Notts just need to tell him it’s in the summer and just lose out on any fee we got in Jan. I’d do the exact same with Ruben and at least they could get a decent fee for him. Absolutely no club is going to sell us a ready made replacement in Jan for either of them.
I reckon we stand a chance of keeping both as lynchpins of the team if we can get up this season. Presumably a contract offer for KW showing what's on offer in the division above as well as in this one is the way they'll do it. An extension for RR in the same vein would make sense. A healthy squad-wide promotion bonus is probably on the table too, given the importance of this particular promotion compared to other steps between divisions.
Title of this thread did get me excited for a second. I’ve not even read the article and going by the comments there’s no need as personally I heard his post match interview and it sounded very much to me like he’s on his way out. Promotion is likely to be our only hope of keeping Kyle.
