Fgr

The temptation for the FGR managerial role would be several things.
Firstly it seems that the chairman/owner seems to back the manager as they've all seemed to have done well.
Secondly as a club they appear to be at their Zenith therefore who ever takes over will be in a win win situation. If they bomb it would be as expected so no blame would be attached, if they succeed they become great footballing stock.
Thirdly it gives the manager / IB the chance to ply their trade at a higher level testing their footballing credentials
Hopefully he will stay as potentially we are the bigger club and given time he could be challenging himself at a higher level with us...!

I agree and disagree.

Agree they are at their peak now. Disagree that's good for a new manager.

The fans are jubilant and are used to winning every week. Being the guy who comes in when they stop doing that is not going to help. Fans will say at the start of the season when they have their rational heads on 'it will be tough' etc, then when they watch them match after match the emotions will kick in. There's also a reasonably high chance of a relegation battle, which often involves a sacking, whatever assurances were given.

I'd say FGR offers only downside, unlike Notts which offers no downside at all and plenty of upside. IB could feasibly get two promotions on his CV with us without doing anything exceptional.
