Would it be negative?

Good way to put it.

Mad Dog obviously and he was approached for a return, but 8 years on he's not the manager he once was.
I liked Kewell but he's not proving himself to be much use at Oldham, although I believe they have got a lot of problems there.

So just Cooper for me, but MA would at least be entertaining if not a success.

That leaves a long list of people you wouldn't even wish on Mansfield.

'Mad dog obviously'

Why obviously. Not for me thanks.

Cooper? No again.

I didn't have you personally in mind when I typed the post, just the general consensus that he has been the most popular Notts manager since Allardyce.

In each case the reason was that I just couldn't see them taking the club forwards.

To me that's a reasonable personal assessment, but to the odd weirdo it somehow puts me in the pitchfork brigade!

That’s the thing though he’s not had a run of poor results as we lost 1 game after winning 3 and judging by Maidenheads results since their not total dross and we were players down. I guess Ardleys going to split opinion as he was the manager in charge when we got relegated. Totally don’t get the style of play criticism but everyone’s got the right to their views.

You forgot to mention that we have 2 games in hand, have to play Torquay twice and have 39 games to play.

I await the predictable reply that I am deluded, there is absolutely no way that we will beat Torquay, in fact, in order to save some money I suggest we just give them the six points.

Usually i would - you know me to well ...lol

In this case you could have a point, we have not played Torquay since 2010, and our record against them head to head is pretty good

P 43 W 19 D 17 L 7

So providing Ardley does not bottle it , we have a good chance against them

Another Davy special. So we haven’t played Torquay since 2010? You must have been on holiday last October when Dennis and Brindley bagged in a 2-0 win at ML? Brindleys goal in particular was special.
Don’t let facts get in the way, again.
