Ardley out? - come the end of the season?

Big Sam wouldn't get out of bed for 10k a week.

He may have a soft spot for Notts as it was here that he became noticed as a good manager

I don't want a manager that comes over and claps the fans after HIS team has again performed with no guts or passion...any of us could do that.

I want a manager that holds his players to task for non performance, makes them train the kids if necessary and does the job he is payed which is win football matches.


Which ever way you cut it up his record and Notts and the end of his Wimbledon days are nothing short of pathetic.

Actually at least he was 'angry' after this latest debacle, shame he wasn't angry after Newport or Port Vale. Personally, I think it was 'faux anger' for the benefit of the cameras, as he has long run out of excuses. I've seen our 4kin cat look more angry than that.

The only soft spot on big Sam is between his waist and his chest.

I've backed this man all the way up until now but surely he has to go if we go down. He is weak, has shown no leadership skills and despite that 3 game run we've shown next to nothing. I'd still give him up until the last game but after that I think we need a clear out and that starts with our useless manager.

Of course he should go, he has shown no quality that makes me think he should be trusted with next season's challenges - recruit an entire squad, develop a game plan and motivate a squad. Clearly he is here to the end of the season - who would come in now, not knowing who will own the club or what league they will be on.

Now would be better. Give MadDog or someone else the last 10 games to at least GET THE PLAYERS TO HAVE A GO.

I have to agree with that Durham

ARDLEY OUT !!!!

Cotterill wouldn’t stay because of interference in team matters from Trew. He told me that himself.

Cotterill is an illusion. He got promotion with us on the back of another managers squad, has done F All since.

You need to seek professional help, learn off a master?

[McCullochisGod]

Mmm Cotterill didn't give me the impression of someone who wanted to leave Notts. I had to nip into the club on what was Cotterill's last day and bumped into him. We had a bit of a chat, and he was really upset, so much so that he was on the verge of tears. Him leaving, and the destruction of that momentum, was a key point in our downfall.

Wrong...

I don’t disagree with any of what you said. The sad reality is that he has a 20% win ratio overall and that is nowhere near good enough. On this basis we are on course to win 2 more games this season.

Overall we have 29 points from 36 games. That is 0.81 points a game so based on this form throughout the season we are destined to pick up 8 points, thus finishing on 37 points which is at least ten point less than what we would need to stand any chance of survival.

Come on, it’s not that bad....ohhh ok, it is.
