Maynard GONE [Official]

[Jampie]

I will be genuinely surprised if they don't have a replacement lined up.

Doesn't make strategic sense to sack him without a replacement ready. Would be very out of character.

But I didn't think they'd sack him in the first place so what do I know?

From where I'm sitting, he made the playoffs and was just two wins short of automatic promotion in a season plagued by bad luck, injuries, weird coaching team departures (with no replacements), and the sale of key players - whose replacements haven't come up to speed yet (if they ever will)

I just don't think I would have sacked him in those circumstances - unless I had someone absolutely killer lined up to replace him. And I don't know how I'd feel about that. From his perspective I wouldn't at all be surprised if he feels he was hung out to dry by the club. I guess with millions of pounds a year getting flushed, you can't afford to be sentimental.

I agree with most of that and he has been hung out to dry a touch too as I have explained a few times this set up isn?t all about manager/head coach.

In saying that I think it?s probably the best outcome for the club and him, if we started badly like we did under Nolan it would have got toxic and it would be a horrible atmosphere with potentially fans arguing amongst each other.

I also think it helps Maynard with a good season on paper which plays in his favour for a new job look back 12 months quite a few on here wanted Williamson I bet you hear nobody say that now has he got worse after MK Dons or Carlisle probably not but his record puts fans off.

The owners will have someone lined up and you?d think appointed within the next week or so.

Ian Evatt would do nicely for me, if we could get him.

He's favourite to be Cardiff's new manager. Unlikely he's coming to Notts

[Chicken Balti Pie]

But he didn't end the season at Feyenoord, he was sacked in February, so it's not that unrealistic.

I mean, I think it is unlikely. He's unlikely to be needing the money and with his win percentage and stats, he wouldn't be short of suitors in higher leagues

Unlikely yes, but why was he at the Wimbledon game? Very random for him to be at a league 2 playoff match. Add to that the Denmark connection...

Stranger things have happened.

Great appointment if they pull it off.

Fingers crossed. You never know with Notts after all.

Sure, it's unlikely, he's 10/1, and Williams is 1/2, so he's 20x the odds, but still better value. Of course, the best value of all is if you know for a fact who it is.

btw, those odds are 'theoretical' and from an industry expert, apparently

[Elite_Pie]

Sure, it's unlikely, he's 10/1, and Williams is 1/2

Yeah, as I said, mine were 'theoretical'

But here's a theory people won't like, Joao Alves is now 1/2 on, if you can believe this site.

Friends with the owners? Was over in the UK to talk to clubs higher in the pyramid, dropped in on his mates to watch some football
