I think Neal has given them the best chance of going up , by finishing 3rd and getting to the final , he has done it twice now

For Notts we obviously should aim for top spot, and if not that 2nd or 3rd position as it gives the best possible chance of promotion, with the home tie and then the final . For me two 5th place finishes for IB was not good enough , especially this season when he came in last march, IB never really signed any good players, our better ones were all Ardley signings

I am baffled by FGR taking a gamble on IB as he his unproven, just as i was baffled when Notts appointed him, i doubt IB will achieve anything at FGR to be honest , , depends on the cash the owner may give him. - possible potential is one thing, but if there no hard track evidense of success, its nothing more than a gamble , still the FGR chairman is quite wealthy and can probably afford it
