He bore a lot more responsibility for getting Wimbledon promoted than getting Notts County relegated. He was there for six years and built their team on a shoestring. Financially they have no right to be in League One, but he got them there. He's had not much more than six months at Notts and inherited a lot of other people's bad work, which he was only partly able to address in one transfer window. I'm not saying he should be guaranteed long-term security in the name of "stability", but I'd like to see him given more time to show what he can do when chaos isn't reigning in the background. As I've said before, we gave Sam Allardyce the benefit of the doubt after a worse start than Ardley, and it was one of the best decisions (or non-decisions) we ever made. Let's see what sort of state the club's in come the start of the season, assess what's realistically achievable, and judge Ardley against that.
