O/T:- Swansea

[OP67]

We paid for the old Forest training ground by maintaining the pitches and also allowing them to use Meadow Lane from time to time

Yeah the deal is for Forest to use Meadow Lane for their U23 games.

If you think Swansea are having a bad time, what about Ipswich today then?

Great result for Maidstone, they had a game plan and it paid off,

That was a fantastic watch. It was just a few months ago really we were down there winning 2-5, but they showed something in the games against us last season. Not sure whether Ipswich underestimated them, I think it's more to do with the quality in English football all the way down into the 6th tier.

I may be wrong to do so, but I'm assuming that result is all down to Ipswich prioritising their promotion push.

I hope they get a great away draw at one of the big prem. teams.

Tend to agree with all of that, although I give him a more than 50% chance of seeing out THIS season with them.

On any return here? I know I'll probably never see another coach deliver the same attacking approach I want to pay my money to see. But still, as partisan fans for life of our football club, it's no fun being sensible - and our dedication is the standard we hope they share (like JOBs tattoo ). So the following stuff matters - he broke his contract / he walked out mid season / he took 2 senior coaches with him / he left in the middle of a promotion campaign / he left with problems that need fixing / it allowed an old rival to poach our talent / it inflicted a couple of weeks of turmoil on the club / he left the players guessing and uncertain and so on and so on. As a partisan County fan who doesn't have to care that his wife has a gym in Newport of course I wouldn't want to see him back. I'm with BFG in holding to 2 ideas simultaneously - he's easily in the top 5 Notts managers I've seen, I'll enjoy Swansea's losses. Thanks and best of luck to him in life (but not right now with Swansea )

LW esaily in the top 5 Notts managers ? Not a chance he barely scrapes the top 10

[Davy500]

Just for fun MY top 10 Managers

1)Jimmy Sirrell
2)Neil Warnock
3)Sam Alladyce
4)Howard Wilkenson
5)Mick Walker
6)Steve Cotterill
7)Keith Curle
8)Martin Allen
9) Colin Murphy and Steve Thompson
10 Kevin Nolan
11 + )Shawn Derry/ Luke Williams /Paul Ince

ON top of that LW was not a manager he was a head coach, most of the others were Managers , where there was more responsibility in identifying and recruiting players, something the now Notts owners do themselves and by using rador

[marky]

Losing already.
