Can't you just drop this petty squabbling? I wasn't there and I didn't think JF was right for the job. I wouldn't have booed him or taken silly banners, but I am pretty sure I would have laughed at him falling over.Quote:

Sadly I don't think so, the best you can hope for its taken to PMs, but even that's now been rejected. But never give up hope m_m.Quote:

Work that one out for yourself.
If you want to see the one who started it again on this thread, I'll lend you a mirror.Quote:

Apologies for my typo. But JF was definitely in a ‘no win situation’, both on and off the pitch. It was a spur of the moment reaction to someone falling over. A ‘You’ve Been Framed’ moment if you like. I honestly wanted him to succeed in his role of Notts manager. Just as I do every Notts manager that takes charge of the team that I’ve supported for the last 40 years.Quote:

No need for an apology, we all hit the wrong key occasionally.Quote:

You talk sense Elite. I don’t understand how some want Burchnall removed as manager after 6 or so games. He will need time to rebuild the squad of players that he has inherited and then even more time implement his plans. We simply do not have the framework currently in place to achieve promotion this season. So it’s down to IB to rectify that. If after a decent period of time and if performances do not start to improve then we all have a right, as fans, to voice our opinions and to air our grievances against IB.
I agree Ardley had to go. He had reached the point in of no return. He was publicly blaming his players. Even though he was probably correct in what he was saying, it doesn’t alter the fact that they were his players, the majority of them are his signings and they were following his instruction. The responsibility for every poor performance was his. He was taking the team backwards and it was evident that had no idea how to fix it.
Nope, I’m not sure a to why laddo decided to have a pop at you either.
