Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

I'd find it difficult to accept Williams back, he'd want to leave again at the wiff of the next opportunity, he's got a track record of that now.

His stock isn?t so high any longer and once bitten twice shy.

I cannot believe people wouldn?t want the man back that :

Turned Langstaff from a non league footballer to a championship footballer

Same with Rodrigues

Amongst many more things.

Williams is a perfect fit for the owners and the club, but we played so badly towards him leaving because the players obviously knew his heart wasn't in it anymore and sure while part of that is on them, I do not want that for the club again.

There are plenty of other managers who could do similar things, I just don't believe that someone who has consistently been open about wanting to leave multiple clubs within a year is a secure fit for the future.

I dont really buy into the Williams left/will leave at the first opportunity narrative.

While with us he was linked with Portsmouth, then signed a new contract. He was also linked with Bradford and came out and said he was fully committed to Notts in post match interviews, so boxed that off pretty quickly.

He lives in Swansea, and for family reasons alone, the move made sense, even though it was frustrating...

The WBA drama while at Swansea probably does have some legs... but if he did come back to Notts I imagine it will probably humble him a bit.

I'd have him back, as long as he bought a house here haha!

Yeah, if he lives in Swansea, and distance is an issue for him, he should seek employment in the Swansea area

It's not too much to ask that the manager of the great Notts County is prepared to live in the Nottingham area

Nottingham is a chit hole to be fair.

Strong stuff KC, so do you think the city is working against us in recruiting and keeping players and managers?

I wouldn't have thought so as i doubt many of our players live in Nottingham anyway. It's probably a good thing that Nottingham is central and easy to get to. But really, if it was a choice between Nottingham and Swansea, I know which i'd choose! The city depresses the shizzle out of me when i come back to see family.

To be honest most cities are in decline, not just Notts.

Compared to the bohemian utopias that are Grimsby, Accrington, Barrow, Morecambe, Burslem, Chesterfield, Doncaster.....?

Nottingham has more than its share of deprived areas, but if you are a footballer who can afford to live in a relatively affluent area, then in terms of services, amenities, shopping, nightlife, the city knocks spots off most of League 1 and League 2 towns.

Yeah, I think you and KC said it well.
It says it all that once horrible exceptions like Luton, Stoke, Oldham have become the norm across England.
But Nottingham/Notts is big and interesting enough to live well, if you have a bit of money
