Therefore if promotion wasn't expected from the owners and the club finish in a stronger position financially and higher up the table than last season, then Maynard has been a resounding success.
Many calling for his head are missing the point. They need to look at the fact that he is only the 'Head Coach'. He can't bring in the players he wants, he just has to work with what he's been dealt with.
The beauty of this structure is that if a manager leaves or is sacked, the plan can carry on without a big 'sale' of all of the players he brought in and a new load of players replacing them. That is the heartbreaking situation Notts (and many other clubs) were in for years. I'd say boom and bust, but we didn't get a lot of the 'boom'.
The downside is that if the club goes through a bad patch of results, then the drama queens call for the coach to be sacked whereas realistically there isn't much the Head Coach can do about it.
