All these links elsewhere just show the high regard IB is held in.

Not sure about that. A couple of years ago whenever a managerial vacancy came up Paul Ince was always among the favourites!

Cant imagine why as to date IB has not done anything at all,( currently worse than our previous manager Ardley ) , and has achieved average results in a very low league with little consistenty , just wishfull thinking , IB is probably in the mix with 20 or other so managers that bookies always pump out lol .
If IB did leave if the 1 out 100 happened i would not be bothered at all, as almost any manager could do as well

I know, weird isn't it? You'd think we were playing progressive, attractive, winning football and had rolled into the play offs as the form team of the division! It's almost as if he has the best win percentage of any manager since JS over a full season. Oh hang on...

But the thing is Swale they were not the form team of the division over the whole season, in fact 4 teams were better, and that is what matters
As for atrractive, progressive and winning football it must have disappreared at Aldershot a few games ago

Currently we are about to see how good IB actually is, the only time winning a 2 or 3 game sequence means anything is now in the Playoffs
IB is lucky in one respect having a second shot at the playoffs after losing one , as most if none of notts previous managers have not had that luxery
As i said now we will find out how good IB is, what has he learnt from last years playoffs, hopefully that we need to get at it from the offset, no be on the back foot early on, falling behind, and only then playing well when its too late
Our oppenents, will have done their home work, and know we are vunerable to a high press, and crumble defensively when under pressure, they will almost certainly come at us from the offset , especially Wrexham if we get that far

So its over to IB ,to date im am not convinced he has sorted any problems out, and will be found out very quickly in this play off process , however i hope he proves me wrong, and shows he has learnt from previous mistakes , then i will say fair play and well deserved , but as they say the proof is in the pudding

'They?'. I think that says a lot Davy. As far as I (and hopefully some other posters) am concerned Notts County is 'we'.

Mildly interesting. From the odds I can find IB is joint favourite at 4/1 with Paul Tisdale. When you consider that such as Michael Appleton, Lee Johnson and Paul Lambert who have managed at higher levels are longer odds, that price seems very short. However, the FGR owner isn't exactly one to go for the routine appointment, so who knows?

[DaveSmithRules]

He's not alone in the betting odds when it comes to potential managers with Notts links:
- Johnnie Jackson (10/1)
- Simon Grayson (16/1)
- Shaun Derry (20/1)
- Sol Campbell (25/1)
- Kevin Campbell (25/1)

Let's hope one of them gets it instead.
