Can't understand the gloating? He got us out of the NL playing attractive football more than the two previous managers could do, left us in a healthy situation in an higher league with great crowds and is a thoroughly nice guy?Quote:

He also left us on a bad run and defensively poor but we'll never know if he could've turned it round so there'll always be a question mark by his name for me.Quote:

Great read was that, didnt know that he was a supporter od the Maggies charity.
I don't think any Notts fans are haters towards him, actually i think they are so down in the dumps at him leaving us.
Long shot but i hope he makes the England set-up, he certainly showed us football like we've not seen at Meadow Lane before.
I feel sorry for Luke, he seems to have walked into a situation that possibly wasn't as sold to himQuote:

All approaches come via agents these days but as far as I know LW kept the club fully informed throughout so they could negotiate the best possible compensation with Swansea
People at the club knew well before it was announced that he would be going which at least gave us the chance to negotiate for replacements for the outgoing staff
He was most certainly tapped up and I'm sure that tapping up was paid for in his severance pay by Swamsea rather it go to the FA. Nudge nudge wink wink...Quote:

Be interesting to see how long the American hedge fund will take before they pull the trigger again as it's all about results and share prices.Quote:

I really hope it works out for LW there but losing your first 3 league games is not a good sign. As bad as Notts have been this century, Paul Ince is the only Notts boss in that time to have lost his first three league fixtures and he was sacked later that same season. Fullarton, incredibly, won 2 of his first 3. Cotterill, Curle and Kevan (2nd spell) won all 3.
It is sad. Pathetic in fact. But it's a refection only on the people laughing, not on LW. They demean themselves.Quote:
