What if a manager was poached half way or two thirds of a way through the season and the club still went up? That's not stability but it would be the preferable option, given the choice.

You can stabalise and do poorly, as we did with McP until Munto came in and then sacked him.

It's a meaningless buzzword devoid of any context. Successful clubs at lower levels will often struggle to hang on to their manager. Wishing for stability is just as likely a wish for mediocrity. You want stability in the boardroom but where it matters you want to uproot trees and make things happen. I don't see Ardley doing that, he's too nice to do that. The biggest problem I have with him is that he is a nice person, I'd feel much more confident about Notts going up if we had somebody who was a bit of a ****.
Good post, UTM. ***
