If he turns the job down then that would be worrying .I like many others are neutral on this .His domestic situation i guess is still the same but i dont think he will be headhunted like before , he will need another promotion before anyone shows interest and then a view may be taken that he only does it with Notts.If he fails then i think his days as an efl manager are over.That is what he will be weighing up.

Judus is signing a 2 year deal apparently wonder how long into that contract it will be until he starts touting himself for other jobs like when it all started when he got turned down for the Oxford job?
Back to shipping goals like the titanic shipped water then next season.
Only positive will he attempt to resign ML in some capacity as he is nearly signed and sealed with a move to the Inbreds.

Where you hearing this Warsop?

You have to remember, he only did it with Notts whilst we were in the NL and also having the best team in the league. Also we were very fortunate at the end to get get promoted.. His record in the EFL is probably on par with Maynards..

Very true. One thing you can guarantee is whoever is chosen and accepts the position will disappoint and annoy some fans

Its a difficult one for LW .He will be financially secure for the next year or so cos of Swansea compo but coming back to Notts will bring with it huge expectations and there is only JJ and MP still there.I am not sure if he is going to take the job.

As stated not really his type of squad certainly going forward, lacking in pace vision, and general fitness.

He might need a new Macca...or the old one to return!

It blows my mind that after nearly a month’s wait for a new Head Coach and 18 months of Stuart Maynard before that, some fans are still turning their nose up at LW.

In his only full season, we got more points than we have ever had in a single campaign in our history. Granted it was in the National League, but we hadn’t looked remotely capable of anything like that in our previous three seasons in that division under our previous managers.

The defence thing is interesting. We didn’t concede a lot in the promotion campaign, but it was clear we needed strong reinforcements in goal and at the back that didn’t come. They’re now here. Instead, we added McGoldrick and Crowley to an already stacked frontline and Jodi caught fire. There was no cover for Palmer or Bostock, who wasn’t the same player in the EFL.

In other words, all of our best players were attack-minded, so it was logical to go with the free flowing approach even if it did mean some mental scores we may never see again. With that squad, it was probably our best hope of going up. When Maynard tried to tighten it up with the same personnel, it didn’t work and we were much worse.

So I’d expect it to be a little more sensible with a more balanced squad this time around, if he were to come back (which I don’t think he is, as by the looks of it he’d have even less say than before).
