Santini...out of interest, given the Steve Foster/Westwood/Keates situation - and say Nicho was skipper, in the form of his life etc and just been voted POY and stepped up a league - do you reckon he (hypothetically!) would move back down to a L2 club on better money/longer contract, even if it meant not improving/playing at a higher level?
At this age, no.
Ask me again in 6 years.
Fair enough - I suppose some players (Dean Keates and Chris Westwood included) will get to a stage where they've given up on the 'dream' and just want security. Both of them are 29/30...perhaps they need to take a leaf out of Arjan De Zeeuw's book - he was playing League 1 at the age of 32, and hasn't done badly since
