My thoughts on Maynard have been clear for a long time. I don't think it is now an 'if' he is asked to go, so much as 'when'. Personally I think it will be damaging for next season to keep him in post till this season's end. Players seem uncertain and uncomfortable with the current situation. Getting a new coach in now might help for next season's planning, not least with ideas about who needs to go. I am serious about Warnock, I think a short term position would galvanise support and players. He clearly wouldn't be a long term option but can anyone doubt that he loves Notts? Alternatively, I would be happy to see O'Brien return as a caretaker.
