There?s pluses and minuses of both ways, Liverpool have a head coach and have just won the prem, they?re been very considerate in their recruitment and they?ve managed to bridge the gap with other big spenders.

If I owned Notts I would go down the HC route, as in my view is why would you let someone have the main control of your recruitment funds when on average their only with clubs for little over a year.

I think in 2 or 3 years it will be the norm over here.

It?s not like our owners are idiots, every manager we?ve had has said how supportive they are and said it when they?ve left, obviously they won?t publicly dig them out but you can usually read between the lines if they haven?t been happy.
