That rules him out then
Reserve
We/he shouldn?t go back. We were in the slide when he left and his loyalty to both Notts and Swansea was questionable. Let?s look back with some fondness but move on in a different direction
Hall Of Fame
Yeah. I'm not totally sure.
The pros:
Knows the club
Good rapport with fans
Won't have to pay a fee to a club as he's currently out of work
Entertaing football
Loves the club
Players will step up for him
The cons:
Is going 'backwards' progression?
Too many mistakes with his style (pens red cards etc)
Teams in L2 will just press us
Got found out a bit in L2
It's 50/50 for me. I wouldn't be annoyed but also wouldn't be delighted.

It's pretty obvious he'd be favourite, been here before, been successful, would be fairly popular with the fans, he's available without compensation and he's watched a couple of our games recently.

Can someone explain to me why Williams is going backwards? Also, his home form was brilliant, with our current defenders and keeper, I'm fairly sure the away form would be better also, in fact, I reckon he's learnt where he went wrong. Swansea didn't leak goals like Notts under him.

No from me. That was a magical season which bar Wrexham we stormed but with the likes of Ruben and Macca. ok the defence was not the best but any decent manager should have got that side up, and even then we only just did it with drama at the end of both play-offs. Then he chose to leave, wife has a job/business in Swansea, daughter there too at school? He could have stuck it out with us and benefited from a better defence. There's hardly a rush to employ him, despite his 'non-league' success here.
I think the Bros will think they can do better. They nearly got it right with Maynard. Maybe a lot hangs on Roberto Gagliardi (Staff directory doesn't list him, thought he started 1st May).

The betting means absolutely nothing at this stage, it's just the usual list of familiar names at ridiculously skinny odds. Many on the list will also be quoted for other vacancies. If someone suddenly goes to 1/10 it's quite likely, if they go to 1/25 it's usually a done deal. It's a market I wouldn't touch with a bargepole especially with our owners.

No No and thrice No, we need a new direction, A one direction going forward towards the opposition goal

I'm open-minded to whoever the brothers decide to appoint. Picking managers isn't an exact science. One thing that's virtually certain is that whoever they select will be given a fair amount of time to show what they can do.
If Luke Williams makes a comeback I certainly would not be disappointed. Yes, there was too much overplaying at the back during his first reign, leading to some amateurish mistakes, but he may have learned from that and the standard of our centre-halves has improved a lot. Certainly the quality of the entertainment from his teams was some of the best I've seen in almost four decades watching Notts. It was possession football, but with much more pace and purpose than we've seen under Maynard.
Good luck whoever it is.
