 WALKER DROPS WHELAN CHASE OVER CASH    
                                        
 Notts County have finally given up     
 their pursuit of Republic of Ireland   
 international Ronnie Whjlan.           
                                        
 The Liverpool star's wage demands are  
 too excessive, leaving County boss Mick
 Walker short in midfield after the sale
 of Mark Draper to Leicester City.      
                                        
 Walker warned: "It may bj we go into   
 the season without any of the names on 
 our short-list."
