    HaHa, That's a funny post. He's not very tall! Maybe radar have a maximum height for all recruits.

    If he was going to play in central defense, OK height matters, but come on.

    Jose Mourinho is 5' 9", and he's won a few pots.

    Give SM two good central defenders and a goalkeeper, and then let's see what he can do.

    SM will be at Meadow Lane for years to come, We will not get relegated this season and when the season closes the re-build will begin.
    I would say that things are being put in place right now with players that will take the club forward and upward.

    Is that you, Mr. Montague?

    Let’s hope so, because this summer’s recruitment could make or break the club. We can’t afford to become a yo-yo club between the EFL and the NL

    For me, of the short term appointments Fullarton is the stand out. It wasn’t just the results, it was the baffling team selections, substitution’s, and interviews.
    Of the ones who had time and resources and did the least with it, Mills was by far the worst.
    For the worst football Nolan and McParland, surprising, maybe but Nolan’s hoofball (albeit often successful) and McParlands slow death football make even our worst days seem tolerable.

    No, not at all, i have never met the chap. What i say/ believe may happen is as i said above, just based on logic. The owners have not been on this journey to throw it all away on a bad patch, a really bad patch. We have to bear in mind that compared with the last 10/13 years debacles we are now a well run outfit that has hit a bump, i'm glad we have these owners and not the boom or bust people we had at the helm prior.

    And as was shown Luke did nearly as badly against the sides Stuart has faced. It’s been a tough run and we’ve been found to not have improved despite some recruitment.

    This season has gone, and we won’t make the playoffs which is think would have been acceptable to any fan. But progress has been made. It might not feel I like it, but we will end the season in a far higher position than last season. That is a fact.

    It's where we end next season that matters. Having watched Notts for 60 years, any success one year has always followed an improvement during the previous season. It is clutching at straws to say we are higher than last year when it was physically impossible to be lower.

    Luke's matches compared with SM (7 points versus 4, which is nearly double) are not a good indicator because for SM it is all his matches with Notts but Luke had some great wins interspersed, including a 5-0 just before he left.

    He is clearly out of his depth and people saying otherwise are just being bloody minded or plain stupid (not in your case so I'll go with the former).

    Progress?? I think next years’ season ticket sales will tell you how much progress we have made.

    The mind boggles with th appointment of Stuart Maynard as head coach. He's never played or coached at any level above the National League. Has never been a full time coach until he joined us so I bet that's a hard transition. What on earth went through the brothers minds when appointing him???

    I guess the brothers were dissapointed to have missed out on Mike Williamson. Look at the job he's doing at MK Dons now.
