All the choking and the many bottle-jobs alone should seal his fate.
Personally, I think this is a massive test for the Bros. They might understand data but do they get the basic requirement of pro football that you have to be mentally strong to have a chance to succeed.
If we ever get into a favourable position in a key game or in a season, can we trust him and his side to see it through and win? The answer is a resounding no IMO
Me too, but I'm getting more concerned by the minute that he will still be in position when we kick off next season. A very big decision for the owners, and one I fear they'll get wrong.Quote:

I'm not at all confident, but I'll be more than happy if I'm proved wrong.
The only observation I would add is that the anti-Maynard sentiment seems stronger on Notts MAD than amongst the general group of Notts fans I speak to in 'real life', so maybe the classic message board echo chamber effect is in play, but I think if Maynard stays he will need a very impressive start to the new season otherwise the banners might not be too long reappearing in the Kop.
If Maynard does stay which I hope he doesn't and we make a poor start resulting in his demise then it would have been a waste of a pre season.
If Maynard is leaving it will certainly be announced this week and probably as early as tomorrow. IMO I think that he will be staying because the Bros would have announced it today I'm sure, why wait any longer. So I think we all need to accept he will remain in place if we go through tomorrow without an announcement. I also expect tomorrow will be the retained / released / available to transfer announcements.
In hindsight it would have been better to sack Colin Murphy in May 1996 and Kevin Nolan in May 2018.
Under previous regimes I think any manager/head coach departure announcement would have been pretty immediate, but the brothers are well known for being patient and thinking things through very carefully before making a decision, so I think the timeframe for such things under them is slightly longer, but obviously there has to be a cut-off point.Quote:
