Certainly did,nt work sticking with Ardley, he relegated us, there is no doubt or speculation there at all , Ardley failed, and is the worst Notts County Manager of all time
i disagree i think Ardley has been backed heavily ( nobody more- considering his terrible record ) ) - Nolan still streets ahead of Ardley , if i had a choice over the two to be manager now, nolan every time
Fact is that there are many managers that would have kept us up , you yourself said some managers are better coming into certain situations, but not Ardley
Don, t try and cover up Ardley,s incompetence by events off the field, he was heavily backed by Alan Hardy, and allowed to bring 7 players of his own in January
As fans thinking we would catch Barrow its delusional, with having played a game more, and 7 points behind them with 9 games left. Ardley couldnt catch a tortoise , with his slow starts in the first half, and negative respect the point tactics
Anyway this season will finally tell , whether Ardley after more chances than nearly any other Notts Manager can finally be successful
