THE Ardley In/Out Thread [Multiple threads merged]

[Davy500]

Too right my sentiments exactly, i feel a lot of supporters even after all his failures were willing to give Ardley the benefit of the doubt, but a pre season full of holes, and the abysmal performance yesterday against a poor team only just put together, shows that there has been no progress at all. No belief,no attacking intent,respecting the point, un done by a set piece, it beggers belief just how shockingly bad notts were yesterday

10 league games of this season fair? Or is that too many.

10 games normally rule of thumb,he has got the fan base on here divided, shouldn't be here full stop as you know my opinion of him. His style of play is awful. Why does he have pace in the squad & not use it? Why has he not learnt from the play off defeat & the last season as to how teams play in this league & what is required? yet still insists with his tippy tappy footy that all it does is put pressure on our defence all the time

Nolan,s dross as y6u call it was far superior to Ardley,s respecting the point rubbish, and the reason it fell apart for Nolan was Ryan Yates who was on loan from Forest, was recalled in early January, ( Jorge Grants goals then dried up), and Alan Hardy failed to strengthen the squad in the January 2018 transfer market

The reason we lost ground was for the rubbish results in november/December that started with the mauling by Barrow 0f 3-0 at home. As i said before 3rd when it was curtailed, our highest position, most of it was lower in the table, i think we would of finished lower, others higher, either way no way we would have caught barrow and Harrogate. In the end Ardley failed, we ended up no betterr than a club in the bottom half
As for Wimbledon he was sacked in 2018 after a terrible run of losses , then came to Notts and relegated us, testament to his losing track record

2 teams were promoted, 22 weren't. We did end up better than teams in the bottom half (some of them relegated).

We could have caught the others, we were on a great run (who was manager then?) including beating Barrow away, however the game went.

Maybe you ought to follow a Prem team - I suggest Man City who with all their riches have 1 point from 6.

We could critique all Notts many many failed managers in this way. It's nothing new. As fans it's really easy to do.

NCM is not an accurate barometer of the fanbase it doesn't provide an overall balanced view but no doubt the fanbase is divided. I'm sure it's the same at many clubs up and down the land including one just up the A60 who are one of the favourites for their league have spent big and started their season very poorly. Although I'm sure they didn't start after their first defeat.

10 games is the minimum for me, and if the club's record is poor at that stage and the owners lose faith in their manager then they should get rid.

We all believe the owners love stats, even more than Davy does, so I'm sure they are reviewing his managerial stats and will make their decision partly based on how he performs. If they want to get rid, then so be it. I fully support their decision.

We should let them make the decision when they want to. If anyone wants them to hurry up and sack him, write them a direct letter. Will be far more effective than posting on this thread.

Calm down! The team lost 1-0. I'm as disappointed as anyone, but to start using "drama queen" language such as shockingly bad, come on.
I've seen and heard all this before. With the exception of Steve Coterill, I can't think of a Notts Manager in 40 years that a determined minority haven't campaigned against.
I'm going to play sack the manager BINGO language. i.e. No plan B, No idea about tactics, too late with the substitutes, give the youngsters a chance bla Bla...
The board, the Manager, fans and most importantly the players need to stick together right now.

We did not end up any better than the teams who were not relegated

Not a chance we could have over taken both Harragate and Barrow. Any team can go on patches of winning, its consistency over a season that gets promotion- what about our poor form in november/december .
Our great run, where did it get us, i tell you where another season in the National league

They did,nt start after their first defeat because their manager doesn,t have a track record of failure

Hurry up sacking him??? My main fear is this muppett will still be in charge in another 3 years, and we will still be in the national league or lower, dont think Ardley can,t relegate us again, because his track record shows he could

[laddo]

And don't forget 'Melodrama' Davy he was the manager who took us out of the football league!!

Burn him! Drown him! Hang him! Or at least Sack him now!! He's worse than Fullarton FFS

Now where's my pitchfork?

[Davy500]

Quite right he should have been sacked after relegating us, if relegating a club does not warrant being sacked nothing will

And to date, barring relegation from the NL we would not have been any worse of with a different Manager, another manager might have even got us promoted

Opening day does not define a season. We lost to Coventry in 17/18 and Ebbsfleet last season, both of those seasons we made the playoffs. We drew to Colchester in opening day 2018/19 season and got relegated. I'm not in panic mode yet.

That said, I'm not convinced by the recruitment this summer, we've failed to replace Denis and took a Moniz style punt by recruiting a sprinkle of unknown foreigners. I am also not convinced by his tactics (weird diamond formation) and team selections IE leaving Rawlinson and Boldewijn out of the play offs.

I'll give Ardley until the end of November, if we're not sitting at least top 7 at that point then he's got to go.
