KN gutted. Was talking about players being approached, moving to Nottingham. More interestingly was that Hardy was i studio and alluded to a Championship Manager that he is meeting... who could that be?

I think anyone watching this interview who has a heart will feel a degree of sympathy for Kevin Nolan, but deep down he will have been well aware that football is a brutal, results-driven business. There's a phrase popular in America - "What have you done for me lately?" - which sums up the way the sport operates, and the truth he somewhat glosses over is that his record over the past 8 months was nowhere near as good as his first year, and crucially, it was getting worse, not better.

It's OK to say "I'm sure we would have turned this around", but where was the evidence to believe this, for Alan Hardy or the supporters, in the limp display at Lincoln? Mark Stallard is an intelligent ex-professional, not some barrack room lawyer on the terraces, and his assessment was that the team showed no urgency or desire to get back in the game. For whatever reason, Nolo's previous magic wasn't working anymore. If anyone deserves criticism for Nolan's fate other than himself and his assistant, perhaps it's the players. They were the only ones truly in a position to change the way things were going, and they didn't do enough.

Surprised there hasn't been more comment on this, it is rare to hear from a manager after dismissal. Actually it suggests that it was a parting of ways and not a dismissal because I doubt he would have been talking if he'd been paid off.

Anyway, I hate the word but this interview gave me "closure" in respect of Mr Nolan. It was actually the interview I would expect, no responsibility, laying the blame elsewhere, and very poor on detail when it came to how he was going to change things.

Will be interested how his career progresses, if he can't learn the lessons from this job then it probably won't be far.

Nein!

Very unusual to do an interview following a sacking. But I think and hope that clears up any misconceptions that fans read “between the lines”.

And at least we won’t have the usual “in the know” nonsense about “other factors”.

Crystal clear why Kev was sacked, and pretty clear he was in charge of selecting players to sign.

So those reading stuff into things like Collin’s comments are out in their place.

No, "Aitor" was the surname think his christian name was "Ali G".
