A fact that I don't think has been pointed out on here before. Allardyce, Warnock, Sirrel, Frank Hill and Eric Houghton all got Notts promoted in their first full season in charge. The only other post war promotion was Munto, the most unstable season of all time.

Horace Henshall (1927-1934) is the only manger we ever stuck with that won a promotion after his first full season and that only came after he'd got us relegated beforehand and we ended up no better off.

Stability has never worked at Notts unless the manager has proved himself within 18 months.

Fullarton would get Notts promoted from this level given an indefinite amount of time, but then what?
