Perhaps he just wanted a new challenge? After all, he had worked for them for 14 years.
Maybe Swansea didn't head-hunt him but he applied when he knew there was a job going?

All this about the club not being to keep people is nonsense really. They are all human, yes they say they love Notts, but they are also ambitious. The only constant is most of the supporters (some will drop off during lean times).

I don't blame him one bit for wanting to give this a go and think that he has done a good job. He came when we were in freefall and in the NL. He leaves us having signed some great players (they haven't all worked out but that is the nature of the beast), playing good football and on the fringe of L1.
