AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley responds to Notts County job link

BY SAM SMITH

Neal Ardley has insisted he was not even aware of reports linking him to the vacant Notts County job.

The Magpies parted company with manager Kevin Nolan after their 3-1 defeat at Lincoln City on Saturday– which leaves them bottom of League Two.

Ardley has been linked to the role alongside Crawley Town boss Harry Kewell – but claims it is just “paper talk”.

Speaking after tonight’s 3-1 EFL Cup loss to West Ham United, he said: “I’ve got no idea. I have no clue about it.

“I’ve been in my office all day and the first I’ve heard about it was being told just now. It’s just paper talk.”
