Maynard out?

[i961pie]

He should go even if we are promoted..My view is it will be the players that get us up not Maynard...

So it's all down to the players that will get us promoted not Maynard but it won't be the players fault if we fail?
Maynard will be going nowhere if by some miracle we do get promoted imo.

Well its debatable whether Burchnall was better than Ardley

In your head perhaps?

...now Swale, don't upset the hang'em mob, you'll make the spineless idiots cry, have an even bigger tantrum because those that really know about the players, rightly, don't give a flying f about their opinion. The truth is that, given all the circumstances of players fitness, experience and capabilities, we've over achieved.
We do know that we're capable of winning away at the Thugs; but who knows if we'll be given a fair chance...

Unfortunately TheBlackHorse, the Reedtz disagree with you that we?ve overachieved. We were well behind the target they set SM after our defeat at Port Vale. We finished a long, long way off, and therefore we have underachieved.

Sorry to ruin your narrative.

What was the target ?

I’m not sure you can really set targets in sport as so many factors can change the dial but if he has failed to hit the targets then why is he still employed ?

Agree, the hang'em and flog them mob, used to hang around Market Squares. Now they lurk around on message boards baying for blood. Probably start crying if someone tried to get them sacked in their own life.
Stuart Maynard has achieved the best finish in 7/8 years, and if he doesn't get promotion this year, he's superbly positioned for next season.

Apart from the fact his home record is poor, his tactics are uninspiring and dull, his limitations are glaringly obvious, he can?t conduct a honest interview, his players dislike his tactics, and he?s on course to equal our 163-year club record successive home defeats TWICE in the space of 18 months? then yeah, we?re in for a great season next time around.

What a ridiculous hysterical post.
People get sacked from their jobs for not meeting standards expected of them in all walks of life. How many Football League managers have found themselves homeless after being given the push? It's a well paid position and they know it's likely to end sooner rather than later.
Get a grip.

So all season i've sat on the fence and read posts here about Maynards coaching ability or lack of it, it would appear that many fans feel he's not up to the task and a more experienced manager/coach would have got us Automatic promotion this season. All this despite losing the league's leading scorer before the season started being without the PFA player of the year through injury most of the season, losing an influential midfielder in January all Maynard's fault I guess. Now lets look at the division's experienced Manager/coaches, Paul Cook,Mark Hughes,Dan Cowley,Simon Weaver,Michael Flynn, Lee Bell,David Artell,Andy Woodman and Graham Alexander all vastly experienced and all finishing below the Magpies in the league this season. Maynard has kept the Magpies in a play off position for allmost the full season and might still achieve promotion this season so please consider these facts before you call for his head like him or not he's by no means the worst manager in the division.

This has been my argument for virtually the whole season.
Before we had lost Langstaff, Nemane, Jones + others to injury then Crowley in Jan, the general prediction was mid table. He generally wasn?t considered, by many, a manager that would give us a chance of promotion with those players. We?ve been without those players, been in the top 7 anll season, and people have still wanted him out every step. And that?s not even considering the off field changes.
Your point about ?experienced? managers is spot on. At this level ?experienced? normally means they?ve been sacked multiple times.
I?ve watched a lot of league 2 football this season and I can confidently say the way we play is the best in the league from a performance perspective. The teams above us have been better because the league doesn?t lie, but they?re not exciting to watch. That?s also been mentioned by most of the away commentators I?ve listened to. Yet, he?s getting pelters for playing boring football.
We sold Crowley (correct decision under the circumstances) but left ourself with nobody that has his passing ability from deep, so we?ve conceded a lot of possession and tried to get the ball into Jatta earlier and feed off him. Jatta is just not suited to having his back to goal, but this is what SM is left to work with.
There?s a lot of reasons IMO as to why we didn?t finish top 3, but if I had to point to just one of them, it would be the Jan window.
If anything, Maynard has been the one let down this season.
If he?d been sacked at the end of last season and a more popular manager had been appointed, the injuries and players sold would be far more accepted as a reason for finishing 6th, and many would have said we?d have been relegated this season if we?d kept him!

I have this unique idea, you may not accept this, but, let?s get behind the manager and the team next Saturday, you never know, we might win, I also realise this will upset a lot of the haters, the ones who are football geniuses.

Unique idea? Many, many posters say this every week.
