New manager

[jacobncfc]

He won't be able to no

It’s a bit more lenient than that - you get three years to get it.

[Notts78]

Yes, sent off for stopping a quick throw. How ridiculous...

Classless.

Trying to waste time after 14 minutes.

A cynic might think these licenses are another money-making tick-box racket for the football authorities. Results are the qualifications that matter. As you say, taking a genuinely part-time club to mid-table in the National League these days is pretty impressive.

To be fair, twelfth in the National League is an unbelievable achievement for Wealdstone. Still a genuinely part-time club.

Be a bit like us being twelfth in the Championship.

The idea you’re qualified to manage a team in the fifth tier but not the fourth tier is a bit stupid. I get why they exist and for the most part they’re good for developing better coaches, but in the case of someone like Maynard or Marc White at Dorking who has worked their way up through the non-league system, I’m not sure we really need to have a rule where they have to go and get a bit of paper to go any higher.

Would be like making Langstaff go back to striker school before he could play this season.

Maynard seems to be doing a good job at what is a very small club, but is that the ideal preparation for managing a relatively big club that's aiming for promotion?

[Could'vebeenacontender]

For those that wouldn’t have minded Karl Robinson, been sent off 14 minutes in to his Salford managerial debut.

Par for the course for him
An out of control guy

The owners I'm sure would like promotion, but I don't think they're necessarily "aiming" for it or demanding it in the sense of putting a manager under pressure if they don't deliver it this season. That's more like the old days of five-year plans and "top three" budgets.

These owners will be looking for a Head Coach who can continue to deliver gradual improvement, whilst understanding that there are all sorts of variables - not least multiple long-term injuries - that can affect form and promotion prospects at any given time. It's not a 'promotion or bust' mentality these days, and that's precisely why we have more stability.

As long as he’s got the character to do it then yes. What’s even more impressive is their style of play when he’s got limited time with players.

Look at his profile and you'll see he's been at 10+ clubs all (bar 4 games) within a few miles radius of his place of birth
I think he'd get a nose bleed coming up to Nottingham, and maybe his mum wouldn't let him anyway.

Only joking, but we do need someone who can settle in the area I think
