Some great points made CF, agree with a lot of that. Although this 60 page thread is clearly far more than DavyFacts and my business. Agree, the whole Pro/Anti camp thing is a little silly, fun to take the p!$$ out of but ultimately something that shouldn't be taken seriously. It's not that black and white and never has been with this manager or previous managers.

There is a huge middle ground which has been beautifully illustrated on another popular recent thread re. relegation responsibility.
I agree there's alot of middle ground, I find myself hopping from in /out and shake it all about ha ha. I have tried though I really have, I like the man but it's becoming unacceptable for me to still lose to Dover, Maidenhead and Aldershot. We're not even playing well and I believe we could do better in this league. I'm sure others have different opinions and I can see them all but with secure ownership the worst that can happen for me if we change manager is we stay the same level, I don't believe a new manager would do worse and if we got a good one in (there are alot of good, unemployed managers right now for our level out there) could do better. If we'd have kicked on this season I'd of been backing Ardley 100% as you know I think the end result last season was good.

Like you say though it's all just talking points etc for us, the only thing that matters is the owners thoughts. I know alot of Notts fans in person back Ardley, messageboards are always reactionary.

MM in regards to Cox, this is just my opinion but he was a no nonsense centre back and from his interviews a no nonsense kind of guy. I believe we miss that in the dressing room and training ground. Who's there to give players a rollicking as I'd much rather have one off Ardley than Cox if Ardley does them at all. Abbott I have nothing against but we've not kicked on this season and when he was here before he was a joker, if he's still like that then for me it's time we got serious and stopped ****ing about down here.
