It's over

I remember the time when people on here were saying they much preferred having our owners to McReynolds.

I still do. Best of luck to Wrexham mind. You take it when you get that and you have been in NL for 15 years or whatever it was. Our owners are fantastic compared to the previous several lot. Yes the recruitment not great. I am sure it will be sorted out. I wasn't so sure under Trew or Hardy god knows about Munto and definitely not the Trust! Should i continue?

Other than the battle for the only automatic promotion place from the NL, Wrexham have never been and never will be a rival to Notts.
They have a massive budget, great PR, players from levels above L2.
I will be interested to see how they fare against the bigger teams in L1. Pompey and Derby should be gone but that could still leave the likes of Blackpool, Wigan, Charlton, Barnsley.
With their financial backing however, I would still expect Wrexham to be in the playoff mix.

Really can't work out why. Our owners haven't just transformed the club they've brought whole town back to life and what they've done and continue to do goes way beyond football. Surely you would gauge who has the better owners like you would a manager . i.e. on success?

For all you know your owners might have just dropped lucky on Luke Williams and signing Langstaff? Time will tell, as it will with ours and their pledges. Have your owners set out a plan and told Notts fans what their goals are etc?

If you look at the history of Notts and I am sure you had plenty of this as well over the years we've had plenty of plans. they mean nothing. What means something is actual intent beyond a plan and also sticking to it. We've had managers hired on the basis of a powerpoint presentation. Not now. I think we did drop a bit lucky with Luke Williams. Despite the hype Langstaff is not my type of player. He certainly worked for Williams. He is a waste of space for Maynard. I know we are not going to get a Hollywood star coming through the door with megabucks and I am comfortable with the current owners and the rate of progress. Obviously I am unhappy with our poor turn of form. If your owners have done that then fantastic but I am a reasonable guy and I am happy to take ahead of the game over massively ahead! Good luck.

The goal is steady improvement year on year. That's pretty much it.

We've had owners in the past come out with impressive 'five-year plans' to get to the Championship and then blow up and panic when it doesn't happen. So the aim is to be better equipped each season for success, both on and off the pitch. It works for me, and we don't really need famous people to come in and 'bring Nottingham back to life.' Anyone who tried would be laughed out of town, or perhaps chased.

Well, if that was the goal this year, it has been missed.

To early to say actually but on current form achieved.

Depends how you measure it. We'll finish above where we finished last season no matter what. My hope is next season, we do the same again. That's progress.

I still do. I think Wrexham will do very well but their success comes from throwing more money at the problem than everybody else. That's only sustainable so long as your owners are willing to pour it in. As soon as the outlays required to advance exceed what Rob and Ryan perceive they're getting out of it, Wrexham will falter, and they may or may not have a workable plan B in that moment.

Our owners have a strategy, and up until this year that strategy was consistently working. The current situation is a blip they will almost certainly correct. I believe their strategy is more sustainable and more likely to lead to long term success. It will also be slower... most good long term strategies are slower in the short term.
