Maynard GONE [Official]

[marky]

The brothers have said they'll give another statement in due course, maybe this needs to clarify the situation slightly.

I believe we were always lead to understand that the term manager isn't used because of how the club works.

Which is why Notts use the term "Head Coach".

So the Head Coach does just that, coach the team, motivate them and try and get results.

An interesting subtext on assistant coaches being interviewed is what happened with the Saunders brothers that led to the bust up
One of their gripes was that they and the manager had no say in which players were coming in
The club view was that they knew this when they were appointed so they should just get on with it

We recruited well in some cases, Abbott, Bass, Platty and Bedeu for example but poorly in many others. Apart from Jarvis (when he fancies it) who else has done well?
Others have said that Maynard lost some of his best players, Macca, Dan, Nemane plus Robertson & JJ for most of the season through injury
My fear is that whoever is coming in will have to work under the same conditions and see players coming in that he doesn't want or need

Saunders tried to take credit for basically every signing we made in that interview he did after leaving, bloke cannot have it both ways. I have some sympathy for Maynard, but it took five minutes of listening to Saunders to be pretty convinced he is an absolute chancer.

They knew the situation regarding recruitment before taking the job...

I agree with you
Any prospective employer listening to that Saunders interview would cross him off their list

Depends if he hands over his famous blueprint !

It?s a tricky one. I thought the head coach model was the fashionable one nowadays but if relative no marks like the Saunders and Maynard are complaining about it, it makes you wonder who else we might be putting off?

Im fairly sceptical about the whole thing anyway. Did LW really go in to last season with little say in whether we kept our NL defence or not? I find that hard to believe.

Which is why a lot of Managers/ Coaches don't apply and or turn us down they want their own players, style and tactics.

Like who?

If The Bros have learned anything, I hope it's that it doesn't matter what title you give them, the guy in charge in the dug out on match day needs to be able to inspire, manage and change tack depending on the state of the game. The glove puppet didn't have any of those qualities, he must've thought all his birthdays had come at once when he was offered the Notts job. In my view he was the biggest chancer, but I don't blame him for accepting
