There is no doubt he was hamstrung at times by injuries and issues with his assistant (who in fairness came with him so he should have had an idea about his temperament) but all managers can point to these sorts of excuses pretty much every year.

A genuinely nice bloke but I don't think there are many Notts fans who are not glad to see the back of him as head coach.
I agree about his mindset. Not easy to go from a part-time club where survival is a success to a relatively big club aiming for promotion. I think Ardley had a similar mindset - "respect the point," "respects the opposition," etc.
