Blimey - thats a shock. If he got offered a better wage by Notts County, then I can only hope we have MUCH better lined up. Otherwise, we must really be in the poop.
now that IS a major surprise if true .. he opts to go down a step
I doubt he opted to go down a step. Presumably, no higher club made him an offer.
No massive surprise to me, when he misses more games than he plays. Clubs are looking for value for money in these FFP days.
Looks like I was wrong. Their site says they were competing with a number of Championship clubs.
Perhaps, the others wanted a pay as you play deal, or maybe he wants a better chance of playing regularly.
It wouldn't surprise if they were competing with Championship teams, but they could just be saying that to make everyone involved in the club feel even more positive about it. Looks better saying that they staved off contract offers from clubs in a higher division than saying that nobody wanted him because he's injury prone. (Not saying that nobody wanted him because he's injury prone - just that Notts County are obviously going to 'big up' a transfer).
maybe two years in the hand is better than better than one year and a big maybe plus a manager he knows well.
Good luck to him, will always remember that goal at Leicester very fondly.
This. Does well and they will take up the third year option, if in their favour, or he finds a bigger gig on the back of it. Goes badly he is guaranteed two years bunce as opposed to probably just one elsewhere. However we must be looking to get in better otherwise we should have retained him.
Good luck to the fella I say! Will be interesting to see how he does next season in L1 and we'll know soon enough whether we did the right thing or not by letting him go. For the record I would like to have kept him in the squad.
Ray Trew the Notts C owner is football mad and very wealthy, if not mega rich (as yet) .. he used to be on the board of Lincoln City but after a power struggle was outed, he tried to buy the club but was blocked by the Lincoln C old guard .. he then bought Notts ..... who's laughing now ? ... Notts are signing very good quality players, Lincoln narrowly avoided relegation last season from the Conference prem

When we signed Yassin Moutoo, didn't we sign him after competition with many of Europe's top clubs...

Glad he didn't sign for Millwall though.

Money talks I assume
With his cheesestrings will be amazed if he plays 20 games a season for them.
