I suppose that and getting us into the playoff spots in this league counts for nothing.

Ye men of few ideas...

A player going back to his former club to manage is a very different set of circumstances. Ardley failed to do the job he was brought in to do at Notts and then failed to do the job he was kept on to do, not once but twice. If he goes on to make a success of himself elsewhere, it's not going to change what he did here, that is set in stone now.

Anybody still making excuses for his time at Notts is simply trying to rationalise their own failure to spot the bleeding obvious later than just about everybody else.

Digging yourself further into that hole is not going to encourage people to respect your opinion.
