    Always amazed at the keenness of some people to start having a go at these particular owners. What kind of warped minds can turn so easily and quickly on some guys that literally saved the club from extinction and brought us back to the football league having had to basically rebuild the whole infrastructure and playing squad.

    People moaning that it took them four seasons to get promoted in what has historically been the toughest NL ever, conveniently forgetting it took Wrexham and many others far longer to escape.

    So, they’ve made a poor appointment in Stuart Maynard, I think they can be forgiven for that considering what they have already done for the club….cant they? The season is done, the owners have earned the right and respect to handle this situation as they see fit.

    Some of the abuse they and the manager are getting is embarrassing.

    Couldn’t agree more. All football fans are fickle but Notts fans are particularly embarrassing. Lack of gratitude to the owners and Luke has been a feature on here. Well, you reap what you sow.

    This is 100% bs. Notts fans are no different from any other set of fans, probably better because of the nonsense we constantly have to put up with. I’m not sure who’s reaping what they’ve sowed here. The owners have been great generally but they went off piste with Maynard’s appointment, it’s not worked and they need to put it right.

    Let’s just cut the BS. How anyone is defending this manager is beyond me.
    Football is a result based business and if you don’t cut it you’re sacked.
    Maynard is now officially the worst manager in our history and officially worse that Fullerton, now let that hit home that’s how bad we are now.
    Forget the ****e about what he’s inherited he had January to make a little difference and he didn’t and some of his tactical decisions and starting selections are woeful.
    Has to go end of or if he’s here next year we will be relegated.
    Like I’ve said previously if most the bet wettters and happy clappers did the talking with there feet then the owners may take notice and act.

    Fans are also customers. Instead of expecting them to be grateful, maybe they could be shown a little more respect. They have the choice to spend money on coming to Notts or not. If the fare on offer is dire, don't be surprised if they don't turn up.

    Being careless, and possibly arrogant about selecting Maynard will have consequences, but it's not too late to do something about it.

    Nobody is reallY having a go at the owners, we are simply asking the owners now to admit that they made a mistake and get a new manager in for next season, if they stick with Mayanrd next season and we struggle it is on them, what they did before does not excuse this poor judgement
    I do not buy that the NL was the toughest ever , in most of the 4 seasons we have been down there .with Barrow and Sutton being top, then the 3rd Stockport who recently was in tier 6, even last year bar Wrexham there were no outstanding teams- the reason why we did not go up earlier is because they backed poor managers to average in Ardley for nearly 2 years, then Burchnall , even with LW so 1 out of 4 they got lucky
    For some reason the owners want to pick managers and players that are up coming with limited experience, its success rate gives a poor return

    Absolute rubbish

    Stockport, Wrexham and Chesterfield all spent much more than we did. You conveniently forget that Ardley had us firing just at the right time….(which turned out to be the wrong time because of covid)…..and we missed out on promotion in the playoff final. Burchnall wasn’t a disaster and we enjoyed some wonderful performances at Meadow Lane. LW was another improvement upon Burchnall as well. So out of the four managerial decisions they have made three of them have been decent if not a success.

    If you haven’t seen the other abuse the owners, and even Maynard, have been receiving then I’m happy for you but if you’re not willing to let them make one mistake then you need your head checking….along with the other mentalists. The owners will be fully aware they’ve made a mistake but will not rush into another one like previous owners would’ve….thankfully.

    Edit: come to think of it Ardley recruited remarkably well, especially for the situation we were in in preseason. Players of good attitude and decent ability, especially in defence. Turner is exactly the type of defender we need now. Perhaps the owners could remember this when recruiting Maynard’s replacement.

    So your saying Sutton and Barrow spent more than we did in the first 2 years dont make me laugh
    I told you Ardley and Burchnall were poor now Maynard is. Out of 4 managers they have picked only 1 that was any good
    This augument is that t we are asking them to get rid of Maynard before next season, if they do not and we struggle, it is on them nobody else , Maynard had 13 games in charge , stall said the worse of any manager this century- i think its you thats needs your heasd checking bud

    You’re absolutely right, if it continues like this and the owners don’t change it then that’d be a massive mistake, obviously. What I’m saying is that they’ve earned the right through previous good decision making and good managerial appointments (we’re never going to agree on this one) to take their time before firing a manager they’ve clearly invested and believe(d) in.

    In my head there is little point, right now, in firing him…and perhaps the owners agree….but who knows, another couple of losses could well make their minds up. A lot of people are mistaking patience for weakness imo. Firing and hiring a manager isn’t simple and I’m glad they’re giving him every chance to succeed, or fail, despite my feelings that he’s never going to work out at Notts.

    I was all for giving Mayanard a go even after the first 4 or 5 games when others had started to say he was useless - by match 9 or 10 i ageed
    The thing is Maynard had to show some sign of promise, he has shown nothing- his subs and player selection in recent games has left many fans baffled, he apperas to have no leadership abilities, and on top of that no coaching or league experience elsewhere , what has he actually achieved - mid to lower table with Wealstone The worst start as a manager this century- the writing is on the wall,
    hopefully the owners will see this and just admit they got this horribly wrong. I agree hiring another manager is not simple, but surely anybody could do better than this, and i hope they are thinking about who a replacement could be. I get that it will be hard for the owners as they always want to go for inexperienced upcoming managers, but this time surely somebody with some experience - LW had assistant manager experience 2 leagues higher
