Complete lack of ambition

[jonnyt1]

What an absolute shambles these last 6 months have been.

According to AI back in January we were at 75% probability of being promoted without the playoffs. We then sell perhaps our best player and replace with total unknowns, unproven at this level.

We were sitting pretty with the second best crowds in the division, a bit of the right investment would have got us over the line.

Now we face next season without Didzy, where's the creativity going to come from unless Jones gets back in shape, but maybe he's had one serious injury too many. We could and should have in my opinion pulled the stops out to keep Didzy at his boyhood club, still has class to offer above the vast majority of League 2 trudgers.

So we face next season with a squad that currently is going to be fighting a survival battle, rather than looking forward to League 1 unless the recruitment team can pull 3 or 4 gems out of the bag.

People also keep going on about the Nest and Padel courts, yet don't realise that they aren't owned by the football club and thus the football club doesn't necessarily benefit from them.

I'm hoping we get it right but fear the worst with Dunnet in charge.

Ahhh yes because of course this is the squad we will be playing the first game of the season with, we wont sign anyone over the next TWO MONTHS will we?

We probably wont even get a manager, just let the team lady take training and pick the team.

All the bros care about clearly is putting on events and the nest and selling out the padel courts. Their purchase of the club was obviously just to facilitate those two burning desires.

This forum is becoming more and more ridiculous by the day, almost as bad as Twitter now.

Congratulations on being the first one to bite.

But I can't help but notice you've only been on here a year, so it's a bit early to be moaning about the forum going downhill.

I must confess to being concerned with our chances next season whether we were in L1 or L2 but, hopefully the new manager will be able to think more clearly than Stuart was able to.

My concerns are eased exponentially by JonnyT's post. Where can I find odds for a L2 and FA Cup double?

You clearly didn't read my post as I did suggest we need to recruit 3 or 4 decent players for this level to be competitive.

We do not know how much if any profit from the Padel courts and the Nest are being put into the football side of things unless of course you know better? Perhaps the Bro's are using this to recoup their investment in Notts?

You can't make it up. First posters are complaining the Manager hasn't been sacked. Then posters are complaining about not having a manager.

You'd think that the owners would have foreseen the sacking some weeks ago and perhaps had someone lined up to slide seamlessly in to place. We need someone in ASAP in order to have a full preseason with whatever squad we end up with but we need quality players to replace what we've lost, not padders.

I?m sure someone will be here soon pre season is late June / early July.

Williams I think didn?t arrive until mid June when he was appointed.

They might have waited for the Didzy news to get out the way first as they will know how popular he was.

What has been the owners biggest statement of intent (ambition) in the six years they've been here?

Only thing that springs to mind is not selling and keeping hold of Langstaff for one year. That was no small matter and a decision that might have counted for a lot more if they'd brought in somebody to push us on to promotion that season, but sadly they opted for Maynard.

McGoldrick seemingly would have come back regardless, with him just wanting to play for Notts again in the twilight of his career, so I don't think they can take too much credit for that.
