Well yes definately Nolan, who had already proved he could turn things around when he came in after 10 straight loses, and i think Kewell would have too
I have said many times, even though its been ignored by the pro Ardley brigade, thats NA record over the first 12 games was worse than Fullartons, its that period that cast us 8 points from safety , who knows maybe even Fullarton would of kept us up, he certainly could have of done no worse

Here is a more interesting question for you, If IB had been appointed instead of NA, i believe IB would have kept us up
So do I. But as if Hardy would have known about IB!!!

This is where I have a really problem with your viewpoint. Putting the fact that Hardy appointed Ardley who you attribute 100% of the blame for relegation. Ignoring that obvious connection and opportunity to share the blame. You've just said that both Nolan and Kewell would have kept us up that season. Yet both managers were sacked by Hardy, yet Hardy still doesn't get any of the blame?!?! That's rely confusing to me, how can someone so intrinsically linked take no responsibility for the demise of a club to the point of relegation to NL. Can anyone answer that? Can anyone help Davy out?

What I think is safe to say is anyone who blames any one person for that complete sh!tshow of a season is never going to be able to 'move on' and 'look forward'. They will always be trapped in the past until they learn to share the blame a little.
