- Sacking Derry (his budget had been decimated and we ended the season just one win away from staying up - I still think he would have kept us up)
- Sacking Moniz (at the time I agreed with this but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Looking back he was sacked on the evidence of one result at Salford. Yes we were totally unprepared for that game - but he was a good coach and I think he would have worked out league 2 at the very least given time
- Fullerton (say no more)
- this season
Well let’s start with an overweight drunken manager. How did anyone let him get that way ?
Then the orders to reduce the age of the squad - all well and good but we just brought in lilly lightweights and players we simply did not need : Vaughan, Dennis etc.
I said last August that we had the most unbalanced squad I have ever known in 40 years of watching notts and that we would be this years Chesterfield. sadly I was right.
It was right to sack Nolan he had made an embarrassment of himself. Kewell could have been ok I think - but his personality clashed with big al.
Ardley is a good guy - he looks absolutely broken though and should have taken more time off rather than join this sinking vessel.
Maybe relegation will be ok - this club needs complete route and branch re construction. New owner , new manager and lots of hungry new players not last pay packet grabbers.
I’m sure I’ve missed a few things ?
