Although posters on here have been fulsome in their praise of Nolan, there has been little acknowledgement of the debt owed to Alan Hardy.
Consider the hammering he got on here for his tweeting in the early stages; he listened and modified his behaviour. He realised that Notts' fans did not want a Trew Mark 2.
He interviewed properly for the post of manager and chose wisely. He supported the new manager and his judgement rather than interfering.
He's invested properly in Meadow Lane so that the players feel relaxed and at home.
And now he is happy for the team and Kevin Nolan to lead the way rather than steal the limelight for himself.
And best of all he's stayed clear of Notts MAD - a lesson his predecessor only learned at the end of his reign.
