Not being trusted or deemed competent enough to be allowed to finish a season is 'failure' in itself. There are always 'mitigating circumstances', for every manager at almost every club in the lower divisions, especially if you are looking for a nice easy excuse.

If indeed a manager not being able to finish a season is a "failure in itself" we've had lots and lots of failures / failed managers in the past. The #noagenda crew infatuated by Ardley even when he's gone seem to conveniently forget all these previous failures they speak as if we've not had disappointing seasons, relegation seasons before.

Now that's strange if you are a true Notts fan cos as a club and set of supporters we've had more of those than most.
