Maynard GONE [Official]

[Since71]

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

I'm no Maynard fan but that's a little unfair, it was a gross error on the brothers part IMHO and his inexperience was brutally, exposed.

Gross error? The guy was a handful of points away from automatic promotion. We've had gross errors in appointments in the past, this wasn't one of them and I'm sure the Bros as are many of us disappointed that he didn't grow in experience in his time here. Gross and brutally; easy to say in hindsight. Fine margins between failure and success and with changes during the season there were shifting sands. The Bros have made the right decision now they have 18 months of data and facts.

He was useless and completely out of his depth. The trigger should have been pulled at the end of last season.. His uncertainty regarding team selection, tactics and substitutions have cost us promotion this season.

I agree but the brothers have to share some of the blame.

How do you work that out ? They gave him an opportunity to make a name for himself, but the job proved too much. As regards the January window and the fact the two coaches weren't replaced. This was because the Bros already new at that time that it wasnt worth spending large amounts of money on recruiting new coaches and players with this guy at the helm, so decided to leave it until the season was over.

You just undermined your own argument Durham. Had they had that strength of feeling, they should have fired him in January and another coach would possibly have got us up. It is the brothers who overestimated his ability.

I'm with Durham and have said the same a few times. Easy to say get another coach, like they are on the shelves at Lidl. There was a possibility, even right to the last month, that we might have got up. Rushing to get a coach before the new director of football arrived, and then maybe having to live with that rushed decision for some of next season, then another sacking - that's not how the Bros work, they have more patience than that.

And just who do you get in January that is any good ?. I will tell you, its those that other clubs dont want, and the same applies to the manager role. The Bros have got it spot on. Its a good job you never worked for me. I dont tolerate losers...

How much influence do you think the players had on this if any (directly or indirectly).
