Burchnall parting message

Tbh sinophile it's only a handful of people at most on here, nah bother.

So do you think the win percentage comparison between Ian Burchnall in level 5 and Jimmy Sirrel in levels 1-4 is a valid one, or do you think it takes cherry picking and straw clutching to new levels?

No of course not it is complete madness to compare the two. You can only directly compare his win percentage to Ardley IMO. How does he compare to NA in terms of win % in the same league?

Do you think Neal Ardley was the worst Notts manager ever? And do you class a 5th placed finish as mid-table? The former sounds very much like #agenda to me, and the latter sounds completely nuts!!! What do you think about those to statements?

No.

In a literal sense obviously not, but in a Notts sense definitely yes. By that I mean that I've just highlighted how weak this division has been at the bottom end, there's no way on earth we should be finishing below half the clubs in this league. On that basis 5th is pretty much mid-table. An average season at best.

As you know laddo i thought Neal was because we were relegated from L2, and i think he should have gone at that point, and that clouded my judgement for a long time

But as a National league manager , he seems quite good TWO 3rd place finishes, one for Notts and now Solihull.
I was actaully annoyed when Ardley was sacked in March 2021, we should have stuck with him at that point, and given him a second crack at the play offs . to replace him with an unproven manager that play fanci football thats less effective was madness, and for me wasted another 14 months in which notts have gone no where, might as well stuck with Ardley ie the long term plan

5th place , or shall we say top 7 is the absolute minum Notts should achieve, given our resourcrs, gates etc, i honestly believe any manager could achieve a top 7 finish for Notts
