Think the title of the thread needs changing to 'Allegedly' until fact....
They averaged 9,068 this season which was the 54th highest in the top 4 tiers (18 places higher than their league position in the pyramid). The last season Stockport stayed up in tier 3 (2008/09) they averaged 6,130 - but note that was the 56th highest average gate (only 2 places lower than this season despite being 3k less) which is a good indication of just how much gates have risen across football.
Even if KC signs for Stockport and we do sign DM, I wouldn't believe it was the money paid to McGoldrick that stopped us from keeping Cameron. We will have already made him a good offer and we should not be held to ransom by players, especially now as our recruitment is much stronger than it used to be.
What might be happening is we would be signing a player of proven ability at a higher level than the one we are at now, and would be losing an unproven player at this level.
The sad thing for me is that it would render all the Wembley tears and badge kissing a sham, regardless of what money KC might be being offered.
Like any industry, a big wage rise for the same job is very tempting. If you're happy at your current company and the wages aren't too far apart then it's another matter. Also players families count alot in their decisions. I would like Cameron to stay but trust Notts to find a suitable replacement if not.
I just want to know about Ruben ha ha.
Would love to resign KC as he is a better than decent player but is prone to mistakes and if he goes we should be able to replace him.
Well to throw this story around. I have it on good authority that both Ruben and Kyle have accepted their contracts in principle. They are just away at the moment so can't sign official.
Macca on the other hand has offers in the lower half the championship so I think we may well lose him but for a decent price.
