I just wish he was a good manager.

Interesting question really. Would you rather have a decent bloke like Neal Ardley (who doesn't win many games) managing the club you support or an unpleasant person like Steve Evans (who has a good win record)?
My answer would be that I loved watching Lee Hughes in a Notts County shirt.
My favourite Notts manager ever is Warnock. And he's like Marmite for fans. However, I'd find it hard (initially at least) to get behind Steve Evans.
Ardley still has time to turn this around. But it's very frustrating that he's selecting untried loan players ahead of the likes of Bird and Osborne - who are our players and with more games under their belt will be saleable assets. That's not really anything to do with him being a nice bloke or not. But it definitely reflects on him as a manager.
I thought putting an untried 19 year old in place of Bird who had hasn't really put a foot wrong an absolute disgrace! It seems he isn't keen on playing anyone who was here last season regardless and for that reason he's lost my support.
This squad is crying out for a Cotterill type manager that'll kick em up the ar*e and make them fly.
