Watch him start to lift Chesterfield.

It wouldn't surprise me if he scored a few goals early into playing, it would send a strong message. It's time both parties moved forward, he stood no chance with playing with Neal Ardley here.

Good luck to Matt, he's a good player and formed part of the better things this club has offered in recent years.

Most disappointing exit, the rest makes sense but this one is clearly due to Toots still being in contact with Kevin Nolan. I would put money on Neal Ardley's comments being directed at these departing players.

Good luck to Matt Tootle, he should be playing regularly at this stage of his career.

I am saddened to see him go, you can't blame him he was never going to be played.

It's quite bemusing that we now have an issue at right back, DKE doesn't seem to be anywhere near the first team. He's back from injury right? Brindley has been quite poor in recent games.

I know some moaned about Tootle for being a liability.

What you got from him was a consistent performance, which is the main reason why I feel like venting my frustration that Ardley constantly backs players who are poor in form. I wish Matt all the very best, I thank him for his memories and for all that he did.

good luck to matt tootle, he did well for us and although he had his demons i do feel he gave his all for notts.

best of luck at chesterfield.

Younger fans, although probably being the most judgemental at times had a player in Matt Tootle that they could look up to.

Best wishes to him with his future.

There's no point being saddened by the departure, nobody knows what the future holds. Besides, when did he last play?

Good luck to you Matt.

Best wishes to you Matt.

This will be used by Ardley hates as an excuse for his sacking, I imagine would have been calling Tootle too after last season.

I'm sad to see him go, I felt he was a good player. Good enough for Notts at this level and his attitude was fine, always great around the fans.

Best for both parties I feel, I liked Matt but his days did seem numbered at Notts. A fresh start at this point in his career, it would be best.
