Kevin Nolan has confirmed that Notts County have made another offer for Forest Green Rovers captain Liam Noble and is hoping for "positive news".
The Magpies have been chasing their former player for a number of months but the newly-promoted Football League club is playing hardball.
Nolan says the matter is now out of his hands, but is hoping the club can seal the midfielder's return to Meadow Lane.
"An offer has gone in and we are waiting to hear back from Forest Green," said Nolan.
"Hopefully it will be positive news but if it's not, we will then see where we go.
"The negotiations have gone quite far, but I've given the club my target and hopefully the chief executive can get it over the line. That's all we are asking now.
"But I don't want to speak too much about him, because he's not our player and I want to respect Mark Cooper (Forest Green manager) and Forest Green."

New Notts County recruit Dan Jones says he is glad to be with the club from the start of pre-season, saying he already feels like he's been with the Magpies a long time.
The former Chesterfield full-back penned a deal at Meadow Lane just two days ago, but was training with the squad from Friday, when pre-season began.
Jones told the official Notts site: "It gives me a long time to bed in before the start of the season and it means I can get to know everyone.
"I have been made to feel welcome since I came in - I feel part of it and it's like I've been here for a long time already."
Jones also spoke of working under strength & conditioning coach Mike Edwards and head of sports medicine John Wilson.
He added: "I played with Mike during my loan here from Wolves and I could see back then that he was into his fitness. The lads all respect him and we do as we are told. There are no shortcuts.
"The work we are doing is very relevant to football and we will feel the benefits. The days of distance running where you just plod along are long gone.
"We may be doing shorter runs but they are more intense, which actually makes it harder but it will stand us in good stead. We will be a very fit side this season.
"You can tell in the running and the things we have been doing in training that it is a good group here. You have lads pulling each other through and helping each other out. You can rely on your teammates, which is a massive thing."

Alan Hardy has made it known that he wants Notts County to keep "pushing the boundaries" of everything they do from a marketing and PR perspective.
The Magpies owner said the club's home shirt unveiling video, in which manager Kevin Nolan visits the home of a young fan and gives him a first viewing of the kit, has received great feedback.
"I gave a presentation to the staff a week-and-a-half ago about how everything we do and everything we touch, we need to do with the best of our ability," Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
"While we can't match Bayern Munich, Barcelona and so on because of the resources, for League One and League Two it needs to be the absolute best.
"I've seen what other clubs have done with their kit unveiling and it's usually been a picture on the website.
"Compared to what they have done our release with Kevin visiting the young fan was world class.
"That now needs to be the standard whether it be a brochure for corporate hospitality or a promotional video.
"My message to the staff is always to push the boundaries and do it better than what everybody else is doing.
"I was delighted with the video and I was even more delighted by the response. I had hundreds of messages saying they love the kit, but also the journey we are on. That's more important to me than anything."

Notts County have confirmed the signing of former Chesterfield left-back and ex-Magpies loanee Dan Jones.
The 30-year-old had been at the Proact Stadium since 2014 but was released at the end of the season following the Spireites' relegation to League Two.
Jones, who was on loan at Meadow Lane in 2009 for a brief period, won promotion with Sheffield Wednesday and Port Vale previously in his career.
He told the official Notts site: "As soon as I found out about the interest I got excited about coming back.
"I have been training with the lads for a few days and I've got a good feel of the place. There is a good energy here.
"When you see people like the gaffer, Alan Smith and Shola Ameobi around the place you want to impress them because of the level they have played at.
"With the plans the manager and the chairman have, the facilities we have and the stadium we play at it seems like a club built for success.
"The pitch is big and wide and I cannot wait to be out there playing on it and showing what I can do. It feels right to come here and I am absolutely delighted to be back."

Alan Hardy has spoken of the new indoor training facilities at Notts County, describing them as Championship quality and hoping that they will play a part in attracting top talent to Meadow Lane.
The Magpies chairman has funded the construction of a 4G pitch, changing rooms, a gym and a medical department which sits in the Family Stand.
"I showed Kevin the facilities and he was absolutely blown away by what we have created," Hardy told the Nottingham Post. "He said it is Championship standard and that was great to hear.
"Not only does it have a high performance gym and medical area, it's got one of the best 4G pitches in the country.
"In terms of size and quality, it's exactly the same as Arsenal's. The pitch is getting laid on Monday and it's nice to be able to say this is what Arsenal have and we also have it too.
"I think when you have these kind of facilities it can only help to attract players who will not only be blown away by our history, but the facilities we can offer them.
"We have goals that are on runners and can be positioned anywhere in the hall. Our first-team coach Mark Crossley said that, from a goalkeeping perspective, it was right up there with the Premier League.
"We are going to have four new goalkeepers coming in over the next two weeks for trials and they are England schools and youth internationals.
"Mark firmly believes that this could be a real centre of excellence in terms of goalkeeping.
"We want to be the best we can possibly be in every department both on and off the field. If you want to progress on the pitch, then you to need everything in place off it."

Over the years, Notts County have had some fantastic forwards on their books. From Tom Keetley in the early 30s to Mark Stallard in the 2000s via the likes of Jackie Sewell, Tommy Lawton, Tony Hateley and Les Bradd, every Notts fan you speak to will always have that one standout striker they remember bagging the goals for the Magpies.
Without a doubt, the last of the great Notts strikers - as of 2017 - is Lee Hughes. In his four years at Meadow Lane, he elevated himself to cult status with an impressive goal return and also a trophy, a rarity in recent years for the club.
Born on 22 May 1976 in Smethwick, West Midlands, Hughes was snapped up by West Bromwich Albion as a schoolboy from ages 11 to 15, although he was not offered a youth contract by the club.
Despite suffering the disappointment of not being taken on, he did not give up on his dream - he was taken on by semi-professional outfit Kidderminster Harriers, who were playing in the Conference at the time.
Nowadays, many clubs in the non-league are professional, but 20 years ago it was a rarity, so Hughes also held down a part-time job as a roofer as he juggled his ultimate goal with the need to pay the bills.
As it turned out, Hughes was a sensation in the non-league, scoring 34 goals in the 1996/97 season and bagging 70 in 139 games overall for the Harriers.
This led to West Brom, the club that had released him, eagerly taking him on board again, paying the Aggborough outfit an initial £200,000 - which rose to £380,000 after incentives - for his services.
Hughes, a lifelong Albion fan, set about repaying the Baggies for taking another chance on him, and between 1997 and 2001, he scored 79 goals in 156 appearances, with the 1998/99 season yielding 32 goals which made him the country's top scorer and the 2000/01 season seeing his strike partnership with Jason Roberts fore the club to the Championship playoffs.
In August 2001 Hughes was sold to Coventry City for a then club record transfer fee of £5,000,001 and he carried on his rich vein of form with 14 goals in 40 games, including a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Crewe Alexandra.
However, in the season that he was away, West Brom won promotion to the Premier League, and the lure of his beloved club saw him return to the Hawthorns once again for £2.5m, giving him the chance to prove himself in the top flight.
Hughes's third stint at West Brom proved mixed as he failed to score a single Premier League goal that season, the club tumbling back into the First Division, and he was also criticised by teammates who claimed he was not pulling his weight - he responded by scoring 12 goals in 36 games the following season to send the Baggies up again into the top flight.
During the 2003/04 season, Hughes fell afoul of the law after he lost control of his car on 23 November and collided with another vehicle, leading to one death and two injured. Hughes and his passenger left the scene and turned themselves in to the police 36 hours later.
On 9 August the following year, Hughes was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving, and was sentenced to six years' imprisonment. His West Brom contract was immediately terminated, and Hughes would go on to serve three years of his sentence before being released.
Upon leaving prison on 20 August 2007, Hughes issued a public apology, in which he said he made "dreadful mistakes and decisions that will live with me for the rest of my life."
Hughes signed for League One club Oldham Athletic as he set about rebuilding his career, and during that time he scored 25 goals in 55 games, while he spent time on loan at Blackpool in 2009.
At the end of the 2008/09 season he was released by the Latics, and his status as a free agent coincided with a remarkable turn of events at Notts, who snapped him up on a two-year contract on the same day that Sven-Goran Eriksson arrived at the club as director of football.
Hughes's career at Meadow Lane got off to a flying start as he scored a hat-trick on his debut in a 5-0 win over Bradford City on the opening day of the season, and claimed two more three-goal hauls against Northampton Town in September and against Burton Albion in December.
As the season went on, the initial euphoria at the club then turned to turmoil as the Munto takeover turned out not to be the incredible benefaction it purported to be.
Hughes, however, kept his head down and ultimately saw Notts over the finishing line as League Two champions, his 30 league goals making him the first Magpies player to achieve that amount since Tommy Lawton 60 years prior.
By the time the 2010/11 season began, Notts had a new owner and, with things seemingly more stable, Hughes signed a one-year extension to his contract that would see him at Meadow Lane until the summer of 2012.
The Magpies successfully staved off relegation in 10/11, with Hughes contributing 16 goals in 37 appearances.
Notts being Notts, there was to be another sterling moment coming up, as Juventus invited them to take part in a friendly to inaugurate their new stadium in September 2011, and became the first opposition player to score there as he grabbed County's goal in a 1-1 draw watched by the whole world.
Sadly Hughes's time at Notts would come to an acrimonious end as then-manager Keith Curle opted not to keep him as first-choice, with Yoann Arquin preferred in the role instead.
This meant that Hughes decided to up sticks in search of first-team football, and on 7 January 2013, his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
Port Vale was his next port of call, signing a contract until the end of the season, and his goals helped the Valiants to promotion into League One, ensuring his deal would be extended until 2014.
Hughes's later years as a professional footballer saw him also turn out for Forest Green Rovers, Ilkeston, Worcester City, AFC Telford United and former club Kidderminster.
In 2017, he rocked up at Worcester as both player and joint-manager alongside John Snape, but at present he is back to just playing and the lucky club to have his services is Halesowen Town, having joined in March 2018.
Notts County fans have not had much to smile about this century, it has to be said, but for one season, the Magpies were utterly sensational, and for that campaign, Lee Hughes was at the centre of it, which is why he is so highly revered by the Black and White Army.

Alan Hardy has claimed that Notts County may be in a position to announce their third signing of the summer on Monday, a defender.
The Magpies owner had previously announced on Twitter that a player was to have a medical on Friday, but no news as to the signing came through by the end of the day.
Hardy has however reassured fans that the signing is still very likely to go ahead, and also addressed worries about the club's seemingly slow pace in the transfer market.
In his weekly Nottingham Post column, he wrote: "Over the last week or so, I have been consistently asked about new signings and where we are in terms of building our squad for next season.
"A player had a medical on Friday and all being well, we should be in a position to announce our third signing sooner rather than later.
"We hope it will be Monday when the contracts are signed, but he has already trained with the squad and he is a defender who adds more strength to the back-four.
"What we are trying to do is make the back-four very agile and if we get the players in from the clubs we are negotiating with, then we should have one of the most agile back-fours in the league.
"Pace is going to be absolutely critical so with the wide men we have in Lewis Alessandra and Terry Hawkridge, we want quick full-backs to complement them.
"If we are successful in landing these targets then I will be delighted, but there is going to be some negotiating to be done.
"While a couple of players are free transfers, others are going to require a fee.
"We have started negotiations with two clubs and we are hoping to conclude those deals in the middle of next week.
"I know there is a demand for news and signings, which I understand, being a fan myself.
"But patience is absolutely paramount. Some of these players want to leave the clubs they are at, but they won't get released until replacements have been found.
"I can understand why the fans have become frustrated in some respects especially when they see Mansfield Town making their 13th signing earlier in the week.
"But we have our targets and we are still chasing them. Yes, we could take whoever is available, but we want to hold out for the people we want."

Notts County academy manager Jon Goodman says first-team boss Kevin Nolan is supportive of the project that Goodman will be undertaking with the club's youngsters.
The former Nike Academy head arrived at Meadow Lane last month tasked with revamping the Magpies academy and ensuring the young players can prosper to the point of being first-teamers.
Flanked by assistant manager Richard Thomas, Goodman is now able to get to work with the academy players, now they've reported back to the club for pre-season.
He told the official site: "Our remit is to develop first-team players for Notts County.
"Richard will be a big help to us because he's got great experience as an academy manager at Leyton Orient and a wonderful relationship with Kevin Nolan, who is also very supportive of everything we're trying to achieve.
"The manager's eyes are on the first team but he is very aware of everything that's happening underneath.
"Over the years sports science has evolved enormously and I've been lucky to work with some really good support teams.
"If we look at every aspect of player development, there's a scientific rationale behind the best practices. That's what we're trying to implement while remembering there's a human factor.
"These are young men trying to find their way in life so everything we add to the programme is to empower them to make good decisions, have successful careers and be good people."

Kevin Nolan has warned of a pre-season programme that will be tough from day one for the Notts County players, insisting that he wants to hit the ground running going into next season.
The Magpies players will report back to camp on Friday, with a host of tricky friendlies to come in July plus a difficult start in League Two in August with Coventry City and Chesterfield the first two opponents.
Nolan reminisced about how pre-season is a much more intricate - and kinder - affair to when he was starting out in the game, and also talked about how he's been unable to switch off now he's in the hotseat as opposed to just a player.
He told the official Notts site: "I wasn't liking the first few weeks, having to deal with agents and receiving a lot of texts and phone calls, but it's something I have to learn to deal with if I am to be a successful manager.
"It has been a strange summer because I have not been able to switch off, which I used to do as a player. There were usually three-to-four weeks I would spend away from football and not really think about it but it was constantly on my mind this summer.
"Since I have been back in, I have got the bug back and I'm really looking forward to the opening day of the season against Coventry. This will be my 19th pre-season but there is still plenty of life in the old dog yet!
"Comparing pre-season from when I started out at 16 with how it is nowadays, things are totally different. Usually on the first day people would be sick and, if you weren't, the coaches would work you until you were! Everything has changed now with sports science and so on.
"We have a great pre-season planned for the lads and I just hope they are doing their own work in the off-season so they can come in and hit the ground running because we don't have an awful lot of time. From day one it will be tough for the boys but I'm looking forward to seeing them again."

When it comes to club football, and particularly in the lower leagues with each team's 50+ games per season, fans have a constant, near-dizzying supply of football to keep them busy for most of the year.
And then, for about six weeks, nothing. No more games and very little news in drips and drabs, like the retained list coming out, new players coming in and ones already on the books penning new deals or saying "ciao adios I'm done".
But now we're heading towards the end of June, the crucial things that will provide infrastructure for the following season begin to take shape. First we had the fixture list coming out (difficult start, so best hit the ground running), and now, the new kits are out.
Now I quite liked the 2016/17 kits. The home shirt was classic Notts, with neat stripes just the right size, and I thought the away kit was a nice, strong, bold colour (hot pink, not red!).
But I was really excited about the new kits. After all, Puma is a "proper" brand with a history of gorgeous kits, and with the Newcastle United kit revealed in May, which I found sleek and neat, I was banking on something similar.
Fast forward to 27 June, and there I was looking forward to Wednesday morning, only to find out the kits would be revealed in the evening! I couldn't wait.
And then, the kits came out.
The initial surprise of seeing the kits then gave way to a feeling of "erm, well yeah, they're alright... I guess...", much like receiving a lousy Christmas present and having to pretend it's good because, hey, it's the thought that counts - or in this case, it's the brand new Notts kit, and it's Puma!
But now I've had a bit of time to process it, I've made my mind up - on the whole, factoring in the sum of their parts, they're crap.
Sure, they might eventually grow on me - and I've changed my opinion on many things in the past over time (there was a time I disliked Oasis... I was young and stupid). And if Notts end up winning promotion in one of those kits, then they'll become vintage.
But at this moment in time, I can safely say that, out of all the tops, there is one I like, one I don't like much, and the rest I don't like at all.
Let's start with the home shirt. Now, there isn't much you can do with vertical black and white stripes, that much is true. And there have been some designs over the years that have been nothing short of atrocious.
In 2011/12 the designers began marking out the black stripes but then there must have been a fire drill or something and forgot to colour them in, and in 2013-14 they must have watched that Big Bang Theory episode where Sheldon goes to a fancy dress party dressed as the Doppler Effect and thought it would be a good idea to replicate it.

So yeah, in terms of badness, 2017/18 is nowhere on that level, but still, simplicity is key, and the shirts from the last two seasons had 11 and 7 stripes on the front (not including sleeves) of equal size, so they looked neat and pleasant.
The current model has one chunky white stripe down the middle and flanked by two chunky black stripes, the three of which take up most of the room on the front. It's like it doesn't know if it wants to be stripes, or something closer to "blocks" (think Ajax shirt).
And then there's the fact that it somewhat resembles the 2014/15 shirt due to the big stripes - the one from the season when we got relegated from League One. So doesn't exactly conjure up great memories.
But then we move on to the away shirt. And this is the second time in three seasons (third in seven, in fact) that a blue Notts top which could have looked very nice has instead been ruined with a ridiculous pattern.
In 2011/12, Notts were invited to play Juventus at their new stadium - and that godawful blue two-tone number they wore will forever adorn the memory until the end of time. And in 2015/16, the third kit just looked like a bus seat cover.
This year, the away kit makes use of azure and sapphire blue, which are nice shades in their own right, but then decides to combine them in some ghastly triangular pattern that resembles the old "bruised banana" Arsenal kit of the 1990s.

Now we move to the third kit, which is a dirty "neon" yellow. If you're going to use a colour which is supposed to be bright and fluorescent, toning it down to a pastelly hue just doesn't look right. Kind of like an old highlighter which has pen smudged on it, so when you look at it, there's a sort of gray tinge there.
So that's just the shade of yellow, but in reality, the whole thing just looks totally insipid and uninspiring - you know when you go into Sports Direct and they have those bland kits which you can bulk buy for your five-a-side team? To me, the Notts third kit is basically that.
Next, the goalkeeper kits. Normally designers have a field day when it comes to these, adorning them will all sorts of weird and wonderful colours and patterns. Not these ones.
The first one, completely black, but with a random stripe of blue, pink and yellow on the sleeves, which just looks like someone left a couple of fabric strips on the prototype by mistake and someone came along and thought "oh, this must be it" and had it produced. And then a bright pink Puma logo, another spit of vivid colour in a failed bid to brighten up a bland top.
And then, the other two kits - a supposedly fluorescent yellow which is even duller than the third kit, to the point it just looks like snot, plus black stripes in another attempt to liven it up, and a mint green one which isn't really that much different to the mucussy yellow one.
Which leaves the training kit - and you know what? This is probably the best one of the lot. Frankly, this is what the away kit should have been - a nice shade of blue which isn't ruined by some overkill pattern, with a black panel at the top which has a diagonal blue stripe running to the neck. This one looks lovely - and you know what? It's the only kit in which the players are properly smiling!
So there you have it. That was my review of this season's kits. A little harsh, perhaps, but I'm just one guy with a humble opinion. Chances are by the end of the year I'll have bought one of each and will wear them on rotation, but for now, I'm not impressed.

Notts County have done their big kit reveal, with the public now knowing the design of all their shirts and jerseys for the 2017/18 season.
On Tuesday evening, the club released a video which showed manager Kevin Nolan visiting a young fan and showing him the new home shirt.
Later on in the evening, Notts published an article on their website which showcased the home, away, third, goalkeeper and training kits.
As with every release of new clothing, there will always be divided opinion among fans, with some loving it, some disliking it, some not being particularly bothered.
But what is certain is that there is plenty of discussion about it.
Pride of Nottingham has collated several fan opinions regarding the new kit, and indeed it's very much mixed.

Former Notts County forward Peter Bircumshaw has died aged 78.
Born on 29 August 1938, Bircumshaw signed for the Magpies in 1956 and helped the club gain promotion from the Fourth Division in 1959-60.
Bircumshaw played as an inside-left and scored 18 goals in 22 games that season.
The following years brought even more goals, including his one club hat-trick in a 3-1 win against Port Vale in March 1961.
Overall, Bircumshaw scored 40 goals in 72 Notts appearances, before joining Bradford City in 1962.
A year later he signed for Stockport County before he moved into non-league football with Cambridge City.
Pride of Nottingham would like to extend its condolences to Bircumshaw's family and friends.
