Solihull

Negativity breeds negativity.

NA and IB both had the ability to get us out the league.
One of them is a game away from promotion to league 2 and the other will be managing in league 1 next season.
Yet this thread is all about proving which manager was worse. And that is the problem that Notts have got. We have a weight of expectation that isn’t a positive one. It’s a demanding one that is often unrealistic and constantly writing off Owners/Managers/Players at the drop of a hat. I’ve spoken to several players and ex players over the years and they do read social media and it does have an impact. You can’t underestimate that. The same people that slated NA week after week try and justify his success at Solihull by saying he couldn’t handle the pressure at Notts…..well let’s remove the pressure then!
I read the FGR message board after IB was appointed. Not one negative comment, just welcoming messages. Imagine for one second that was Notts. A non-league manager that hasn’t won promotion. His card would be marked from day one, and so would the owners.
Steve Cooper and the Forest players summed it up perfectly after promotion.
When asked what SC did to change things at Forest, he didn’t talk about tactics, style of play or formation, he talked about killing the players with kindness as everyone loves to be loved. Every player echoed that and spoke about the impact the fans had in that. If ever there was proof what unanimous support from top to bottom can have, it’s Forest’s achievement this season.
Whoever our next manager is, we will lose games of football and we will have games where we play cr@p. We’re a non league club, it’s going to happen. I just hope we do it less often than every other team.

Excellent post.

Just how I feel.

They are not the players that are generating the main interest such as Wooten, RR, and roberts , and palmer and cameron are 2 players out of how many ??
One of the resons for Ardleys success at Solihull is signing Andrew Dallass last summer ,a better player than palmer and cameron i think

You said all the good players are Ardley signings.

That is simply untrue.

yes but most were, and the ones we could sell for any decent money are

So what were Notts supposed to do? Get rid of all NA's signings? Or course some were his signings.
That's how football works.

They were the two players who NCM folk thought were our best two players this season. One of them won the club's official Player of the Season award! You are just looking plain silly trying to downplay the fact that Palmer and Cameron were our two most consistent and best performing players.

You never mentioned who was generating interest. You said "IB never really signed any good players". So you are now saying our player of the season and our club captain aren't good players and haven't had good seasons?!? This would be superb trolling if it didn't make you look daft.

Oh and I believe it was 2 from 7.

Dallas has clearly been superb for them this season but no team in the playoffs let alone the final are a one man team.

Have another go Davy... And remember they can all be classed as radar signings#radarlove

Anyway IB has gone and i am glad, despite all the bull of how good he was, our final league position was lower with him than Ardley, and we exited the play offs at an earlier stage with IB , even Stallard said at the end of the day that is all that matters
