Match Thread vs. Oxford City 27.01.21 [FAT QF]

The other point I’d add re ‘promotion doesn’t define him’. You need to put into context e.g. Man City with their resources need to be challenging for the Premier League. Fulham on the other hand, success would be avoiding relegation. So in terms of Notts/Ardley the target is promotion this season.

My point about a good or bad manager being defined by their season is about mitigating circumstances.
Such as budgets injuries transfers (for the cash) luck (good or bad) and their managment of the said club.
All things that can have a good or bad effect on a club during a season that a manager could find it hard to control aswell as their chosen style to adopt and implement.
In Ardleys case I suppose it boils down to his chosen style hes adopted and how he impliments it during games.
It seems the rest of the factors are in his favour.
Personally I think it's been poor and I dont see it improving and we are the man city and not the Fulham.
But there are others on here that seem to have a different view on all of the above.

I definitely agree we are the Man City of the NL. That’s why I firmly believe this season promotion is an absolute must. Ardley has been well supported by the owners and given a season to consolidate/build ...... he needs to deliver.

I do find there is some absolute drivel written on here. Folk seem to look for sticks to beat Ardley with and get very personal.

Anyway, I can assure you I’m not a disciple😃. I am a glass half full person and I believe NA is very close to the the correct formula. We’ll know come the end of the season.
