Surely we need someone from further up the pyramid?

Pharaoh enough mate 👍 😀

Nice to see Eric McManus in your avatar, probably my all time favourite Notts keeper.

And mine, although Steve Cherry was right up there. However, it?s Eric for me because he once gave me a pack of polo mints at the end of a game 😃

Good luck to him he's got 18 months EFL experience so hopefully it will help in his next job wherever that his
Like UTM Says the Bros have to shoulder a lot of the Blame for his appointment it was always going to be hard for him to suceed..
I hope the next Coach is a Lucky one and more dynamic.

For me it's 1) Kasper 2) Raddy 3) Eric 4) Archie!

Great picks and wonder if Albert Iremonger would have been in there if we had been around ��

Interesting. Wasn't expecting this, and doubly wasn't expecting them to sack him without anybody (apparently) lined up to replace him. If you are going to do that, this is the best time to do so, but im concerned anyway.

Think you'll find the people that got him in to the club are not longer here. LW /RM
I think LW burnt his bridges with the bros when he left for Swansea, so i think it won't be him,

I think coaches are similar to generals and, as Napoleon would say, I would rather a lucky coach than a good one. Both would be nice though. I suspect we are likely to see someone with U23 level experience from somewhere further up the pyramid or with success abroad, than someone on the EFL merry-go-round.

If it's LW, that's great. If not, that's OK too.

Nobody would be surprised and I would guess upwards of 9/10 would happily go with that decision.

I haven't got the stats but I would imagine managers who go back are rarely able to equal or better what they achieved previously. Closer to home however it very much worked out for us. The difference though is that Sirrel came back to pull the club away from an early season relegation scrap (No wins from the opening 9 games including 1-4 and 1-5 defeats). LW would return under more pressure to hit the ground running and to sustain it. He most likely would be able to do that, but start average-badly and the same gripes that began to be expressed towards the end of his tenure would no doubt soon re-surface. There would be some risk involved with that appointment, probably not a big one, but the potential for egg on faces in returning to an ex is definitely there.

There are a few other examples of Notts managers having 2nd spells, though Tim Coleman, Gary Brazil and David Kevan were all cases of stepping up from an existing role and then returning to a lesser role, only to be thrust back into the hot seat again. Steve Thompson was a bizarre case of being sacked and then being brought back many years later.

How about a shock return for Big Sam?
