Too dear: Notts County walk away from Caleb Okoli
$3.7M was the most the club would pay and Leicester City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Jack Hinchy asks to leave Notts County
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

An offer of $1.8M for Will Hughes
Notts County have gone to Crystal Palace with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Notts County bid $36.0K for Danny Rose
The offer went to Barrow AFC this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

A season on the outside for Hugo Magallanes
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Notts County has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Luka Smyth knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Notts County, and both men came out saying it was fine.
In brief
- Squad “I want to play”: Luke Browne speaks
