It might be a flawed assumption however it wasnt the case when we (ncfc)lodt a semi final and slipped out of the play offs and had a dip in results.Ardley certainly became a yardstick to be compared against as many were saying NA should never have been sacked,the brothers had lost the plot, the club should have waited untill the end of season for any changes and much more beside from IB'S Eyes in interviews and answering a question to quickly.
Now I'm no psychic but I guess when the play offs are in progress and are completed Ardley will get a mention by many all views dependent on how we finish.overtime i hope we can all forget NA at the moment it's to soon.
Now i dont mean any of these views were personal to yours but I'm sure you saw and read much of the stuff i mentioned ...
Ardley thought a succession of draws would keep us in L2 but lose one and you're already two points down. To set the team up to draw and then expect them to suddenly start playing as an attacking side trying to catch up is and was doomed to fail.

IB, on the other hand, after a few initial hiccups, has got the team into a positive, goal-hungry, side. Wrexham might be a team feared by some in the play-offs but so are Notts, we ain't out of it yet.

If we do fail this year or the next or so on and IB gets the elbow he will just be remembered as an also-ran, but Ardley won't - he was the nice man who dropped the oldest football league club in the world into non-league. The excuses will be forgotten but he won't.
