Just give it a rest, and grow up.

It was hard work, but I'm glad I finally got through to you in the end. It's known as 'perspective', and it's really not a difficult concept to grasp. For example Man U finishing 6th would be a disaster for most of their fans, while Brentford fans would probably see 13th place as a good season.

Laddo,
I reckon you ought to do what I have done and give posting a long rest. I have only posted today because I have allowed myself to get wound up by some of the comments about Burchnall. You will have seen that I posted about the fine margins of a push in the back, but it is clear that only posting to agree with a certain point of view is acceptable.
I gave it a rest without reading for a couple of months,then limited it to occasional reading. There is one poster whose aim is to argue with you, with the backing of many others.
For your own well-being Laddo, give it a miss for a while.
Yes Man United finishing 6th is a disaster for them, and it will commonly be described as that. Yet I doubt many, if any, are calling it a mid-table finish or on your newly formed scale a whole lot worse! XD
What are Brentford fans calling 13th in your world " a Champions League spot"?
You are right perspective really is a an easy concept to grasp I've known about it and understood it for ages but trying to desperately attach it to traditional well known football league positions ' has been a comical stretch and that's being very kind.
A for effort chap but you may want to read the original post again before you jump in next time#friendlytip
Same here.
There was plenty to like about Ian Burchnall as a man, and about the way his team played when they were at their best. The criticism for me is that he seemed too rigidly committed to one way of playing, and that at times it was asking too much of the players at his disposal. He left the impression (for me at least) that he was more concerned with implementing a very pure passing style of football than he was with getting promoted, which was why some fans got frustrated with him. Right now at Notts County, the brief should be to get us back into the Football League by whatever means work.
I think IB has taken on a very big job at Forest Green Rovers who (like Fleetwood Town) are probably close to ceiling of what they can achieve. His brief presumably will be to consolidate them in League One, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.
It's a sad day for Notts, when a small club poaches your manager, sorry, head coach
