    LW coming back to Notts would mean him taking a sizeable pay cut from what he was getting at Swansea and would probably be able to command elsewhere, if he waits until mid-way through next season when the merry-go-round gets into full swing. For that reason, if he is interested in returning, I would expect him to negotiate more control than he had previously.

    I can understand why people think we shouldn't go back, but I think there's a very high chance we'll end up with another thoroughly uninspiring Ardley, Burchnall, Maynard clone otherwise. I'll be relieved if it is LW, but not over confident that he will get us up. Dalglish, Keegan and Kendall are the three highest profile managers I can think of who went back, none of them were disasters but none of them were able to repeat past glories either, despite the fanbase welcoming them back with open arms and giving them their full support.

    Not sure it can be seen as a pay cut when he?s out of work. If offers from Championship clubs aren?t forthcoming, he may no choice but to drop down to L1/L2.

    It would come as a bit of surprise to me if out of the trio of Des Buckingham, Ian Evatt and Luke Williams the club appointed one of those. Maybe not so much Luke Williams as he is associated with a successful period and played attractive possession football. It would mark a shift compared to the previous three appointments under the brothers. However two of the three previous appointments were when we were in the National League. We are now the biggest club in League Two wanting to get promoted to league one and stay there. So the club is in a different arena.

    Based on the appointments of Burchnall, Williams and Maynard like with players it seemed to be about finding value with head coaches with 10+years of coaching experience and giving them a platform to achieve success to move upwards which helps the club move upwards. Despite SM being the first of the trio brought in by the brothers to leave by mutual consent he leaves with 1 and 1/2 seasons full time experience in league two and a playoff finish that he didn't have before.

    The question is because the target has not been achieved with SM will that cause a shift to the likes of the three mentioned at the start of this post? Equally I would not be surprised if someone came in who we have never heard of or is not on fans radar.

    Regardless of who comes in as head coach recruitment will be key this summer especially as a midfield re-build is required to replace Abbott, Crowley and Nemanes pace and some physicality.

    Was it mutual consent?

    I haven?t seen it like that but maybe I am wrong?

    Apologies my mistake. The club statement said parted company.
