    Notts might have included a sell-on clause in this deal, which could result in a better outcome for us. If I were in Notts’ position, I would have aimed for a 10% share of any future profits. I doubt we could have secured much more, and there’s a possibility that Lucien Mahovo might be let go before he reaches the standard of Norwich. I hope he does improve, as it would demonstrate that Notts just needs to give their young players more time to develop.

    I don’t believe the sale of Macaulay Langstaff will influence who leaves tomorrow, but some supporters might express their concerns to the club officials about the sale. Regardless, we must move forward.

    Had someone told me when we signed Macaulay Langstaff that he would rewrite parts of Notts’ history and aid us in our promotion back to the Football League, I would have been thrilled. Competing against some of the world’s top strikers in terms of goals per season, and then repeating that feat the following season to score over 20 goals, is no small achievement. I would gladly relive that journey and cherish every moment. While it’s disheartening to see Langstaff leave, we knew this day would eventually come. His departure leaves us in a strong position, with additional funds at our disposal and a host of excellent options to fill his shoes. There’s no need for panic or haste in signing a new striker. We can take our time to ensure we bring in another solid recruit who will continue to uphold the high standards set by Langstaff.

    A hearty endorsement for the gaffer here, it’s definitely worth your time to read, share, and comment. It perfectly captures my sentiments.

    Well said, Gaffer. Your words echo my sentiments exactly. It’s true that all good things must eventually come to an end. It’s a bit sad that Macaulay Langstaff’s journey with us is ending so soon, especially when he had just begun to carve out his legacy. While it would have been wonderful to have him for another season, we must respect his decision to embrace a new challenge. This new chapter at Millwall won’t be easy, as the team is expected to face some tough times. However, they now have a striker who has proven his ability to adapt and score goals. Just as he did for us, I hope he continues to make his mark in the football world. It was a privilege to watch such a fantastic striker don the famous black and white of Notts. His story is far from over, and I look forward to seeing what the next chapter holds for him.

    Hello, @Up the Maggies. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. It's good to have you here, I hope you enjoy the content as much as you do sharing your own.

    I hope there are conditions in place, such as if he scores a certain number of goals or performs well during his time, that would increase the reported fee paid. The fee seems incredibly low, and I believe it would have been more beneficial to let his contract run down and see what unfolds. If we had achieved promotion, he might have helped us secure much more. However, it’s been a fantastic journey watching someone like him excel for Notts. It’s a refreshing change, and I hope they value what they have in him and encourage Macca to perform at his best.

    The club certainly knows how to let us down. I don’t think we’ve received a fair deal, but we won’t know the specifics. If it’s £700,000, we’ve been short-changed. I don’t want to dwell on the negatives, I just wish Macaulay Langstaff all the best. He’s provided us with some wonderful memories, and after seeing us demoted to the National League, he definitely helped propel us back to League Two. Thank you, Macca.

    The move suggests that Norwich City is planning for the future. It’s less of a risk and a big step up for a young player. Lucien Mahovo will be eager to prove himself at a higher level. If Notts had held onto him, we might not have seen his full potential. It makes sense for us to accept the transfer, but I hope the fee is fair. I’m not expecting a large sum, but a fair price would be nice.

    @CliftonMagpie might not be chuffed, as he’s often mentioned how he’d welcome Tom Crawford back. He’s a solid player, and I wouldn’t have minded if Notts chose to re-sign him. There are certainly worse signings we could make, but this move probably suits Tom better.
  11. TheSkipper
    It’s astonishing how we’ve gone from struggling to attract fans to this. It’s a testament to the hard work everyone puts into the club. Our fan base is the real heroes, most fans are brilliant and very friendly, which makes it easier for new fans to take an interest in Notts. I hope we can sell another hundred or so tickets.
  12. TheSkipper
    It’s a welcome change. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pin-striped shirt we had during our promotion season. I mean, I have it, and it grew on me, but I took an instant liking to this one. I hope the club keeps the stock up, as it should sell well. This might be another year when I buy both the home and away shirts!

    It’s hard to imagine two more suitable individuals to take on the roles of global moderators within our community. It’s a brilliant sight to see, and I’m over the moon to witness the team expanding. A warm welcome to the team, @Piethagoram, and at last, you’re back where you truly belong, @Fan of Big Tone.

    Since falling behind 1-0, England have shown more initiative. There was a nerve-wracking moment when Slovakia took a shot at an open goal. The quality of play has improved; they just need to find the back of the net. With Cole Palmer now on the pitch, I believe we will see more energy in their pursuit of a goal. We need a spark of genius, something to bring us back on equal footing. It’s disheartening to be trailing, but the match has undoubtedly become more engaging.

    We have fond recollections of Connell Rawlinson. In our initial two seasons in the National League, he was exceptional and formed part of the bedrock of the squad that led to our success. His towering stature, sound judgement, keen awareness, and fearless approach made him a stalwart in defence. While it may be time to bid him farewell and conclude his journey with us, it also marks the start of a new chapter for him, one that we wish him all the best with.
  17. TheSkipper
    We extend our heartfelt thanks to you, Connell Rawlinson. Your service to Notts has been commendable and has given us numerous moments to treasure. Despite your departure, your time as a player here will be remembered for your courage and relentless effort in your performances. We hope that you find a club where the fans will embrace you just as we have. You are deserving of regular play and we wish you the best of luck in achieving that. Your journey with us may be ending, but your legacy will continue to inspire.

    Rawlo, a good player and passionate, was everything we desired in a defender. Even though we’ve moved on, his departure still saddens me. For him, it’s the start of an exciting new chapter. I hope he finds a suitable club to conclude his career. Best of luck, Connell Rawlinson.

    Some fans might downplay Macaulay Langstaff’s skills. It’s a combination of their frustration over his potential departure and their attempts to mislead others. But we know he’s top-class. Anyone who truly doubts that doesn’t understand what Langstaff brings to the pitch. People often talk about Paul Mullin, but Langstaff is the complete striker. He does a lot of work off the ball. I’m hoping we can keep him. We say this every season, but if we manage to get promoted to League One, it could change everything.

    I’m currently in London, but working from our Manchester office. I’ve been interviewing some of the UK’s top actors. One particular highlight was meeting a former doctor who was very well-dressed and an excellent actor. I'm not trying to boast, just to clarify. I also need to be careful about my employers seeing my comments. London’s hustle and bustle can be overwhelming, with everything moving at a pace ten times faster than usual. It’s hard to find a moment for oneself, but it’s thrilling for my career as a writer. I’ll be heading back to Nottingham on Sunday to spend some time with my parents.

    I’m not sure, but it seems like a blend of Gazza’s flashes of brilliance and his father’s talent. He could be a star in the making! The England team could use a practical joker right now, someone to lighten the mood amidst the pressure of performances and results. We just need to steer him clear of the more distressing aspects associated with Paul Gascoigne.

    Hello, @BiggestPieInGlasgow! Welcome to PON. If you find it difficult to get to Meadow Lane, which I assume you are based in Glasgow. The Pride of Nottingham is a great place to be, we have many fans all over, and it's a good way to stay in the loop. Glad to have you on board.
  23. TheSkipper
    Macaulay Langstaff is a crucial part of the team, and any bid should reflect his importance. The club needs to consider whether the fee is adequate. Just because an offer has been made doesn’t mean he’s leaving. We shouldn’t fret, but rather wait and see how things unfold. I have faith in the club and am confident they will make a sensible decision. If the bid is deemed acceptable, we should be prepared to accept it.

    My money’s on @super_ram! Apologies, @Fan of Big Tone. I know you’re fond of your jogging and exercise, but I’ve heard from an unnamed source that Super has strength and a bit of a mean streak. To tell the truth, I find great pleasure in contributing to PON. Being a writer can sometimes be exhausting, but this is my outlet. I genuinely feel at home here.
