King Luke to Swansea

[slack_pie]

I don't think it will happen but there has to be a slight concern that Burchnall will return, seeing that he was spotted (and recorded) at Meadow Lane recently.
When Burch arrived, it almost felt like we'd got a Steve Evans type in comparison to Ardley, but LW then showed that there really wasn't much difference between Burch and Ardley.
If you have a larger than life owner then it makes more sense to have a reserved character in the dugout, you need that balance, but with the owners we've got I really do feel we need somebody with a bit of oomph who can rally the troops.
Won't be easy to fill LW's boots - whoever it is and whatever his credentials - with the comparisons that will inevitably be made.

As I said earlier in this thread, perhaps JOB as assistant would be effective at balancing out a more reserved or inexperienced head coach. Birchnall had Doyle last time, who didn't seem to do or say anything. Polar opposite to JOB.

Not that I'd particularly want Birch back. He left us for FGR for god's sake.

Notts media team have been missing all this week.

Well to be fair to them, what is there to say? They obviously can't put out any content about the managerial situation and we don't have a match tomorrow so there's nothing to say about that.

Exactly, I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with it. So it's ok for Luke to say he wants to leave but not ok for us to talk about his replacement? **** that. We're Notts County not Luke County.

I must have missed that! - when exactly did Luke say he wants to leave?

[Kent Magpie]

Come on Notts media team! Sort it bloody out, we should know before the general public, this has become agonising and farcical

Why? We are the general public.

I must have missed that! - when exactly did Luke say he wants to leave?

When he accepted the Swansea job.

[MapperleyMagpie]

We are stakeholders invested in the club over many years, financially, emotionally, physically, there is a difference

[Kent Magpie]

Someone just posted "confirmed" so presume LW there

Press conference at 2pm?

[Kent Magpie]

We are stakeholders invested in the club over many years, financially, emotionally, physically, there is a difference

So how do they tell us without telling the general public?

[MapperleyMagpie]

Kent you are just picking fault for no reason! By announcing it first on Notts website no on rumour mill sites

When he accepted the Swansea job.

Luke has never said “I want to leave Notts” - he was approached by Swansea who have offered him a salary probably somewhere in the region of £1m a year, why would he not consider it?. If you had a job that whilst you enjoy it you were offered that kind of salary to move, would you not consider it?. Good luck to the guy, it if did fall through then great, a bonus for us.
