Look at Alex Ferguson all of his assistants got great jobs and all of them failed.....tells me Fergie was good and pulled the strings!

Luck does play a part too of course but Maynard did walk into a club in a good place usually you'd take over with us near the drop zone.
This was my point really, the 2 I mentioned hadn’t any real experience of being No1s and you never know like you say till they actually do it. Who were Notts going to really get, for me it was either:

Someone who was doing well the league below (SM)
Someone who had mainly been a no2 at a higher level (LW)
Or someone off the merrygoaround, a Gary Bowyer type.
There was no overwhelming consensus on here regarding a name. We were never going to get a L1 manager doing well and even trying to get someone like Peter Width would have been a challenge from this league.
It’s clearly not working at the moment but the owners have to find the truth as if the players are actually enjoying working under SM, the stats however they do it suggest we have been unlucky xg wise etc and where he’s highlighting weaknesses they believe it also, then maybe he has a chance, alternatively it might just be a car crash behind the scenes.
