Maynard out?

[matt_magpie]

No he didn't, but the point I was making was in reply to a comment made, that Maynard may have been the most experienced manager available. He obviously wasn't. As your point emphasises experience guarantees nothing. But it was a long shot employing Maynard. Some on here think he's doing OK citing injuries etc. Most it seems think he's doing poorly despite still having a remote chance of automatic on the final day.

Doesn?t it seem madness people do think he?s doing poorly with a chance of autos on the last day and the injuries we?ve had plus selling one of best players and one of the others being out the most the season?

Would people feel the same day if we had appointed Cloughie or Parkinson and mirroring exactly what?s happened? I?m not sure I even know the answer.

You do know the answer.

Some can?t get past his previous part time management status. The fact he was a BT engineer before joining Notts. All of which is irrelevant.

He could achieve the objective of promotion and some still wouldn?t accept him.

Well at least he wasn't a Virgin Engineer, though a Sky Engineer might have been interesting.

lol them's the bookends on life!

Makes BT the primordial swamp in the middle, fittingly

Do you really think Maynard was the most experienced manager available???
A part time manager with very limited experience and no track record of success managing a mid table level 5 team.

He's turned out to be exactly what it said on his CV.

Left field appointments rarely work. Notts County players and importantly supporters, deserve better than hoping a man who has achieved nothing is the answer

Great point ..you mean like luke Williams...!sit down !

It's really not arrogant to expect the team with comfortably the second highest gates to get promoted.

It is !!x

But it?s not that simple is it?

Clubs who average 30k don't drop into the 3rd or 4th tier. Clubs who average 3k don't go into the PL or the Championship. The extremely rare exceptions prove the rule. Unfortunately Notts (and Bradford) are among the tiny handful of clubs who are among those exceptions... and persistently so.

That?s hard to properly quantify as there are a number of clubs that have averaged high numbers that dropped in to L1. Birmingham, Sunderland, Man City, Forest, Derby and Leeds off the top of my head.

Average attendances, thankfully, don?t dictate how successful a club will be in a season. The 11 players on the pitch do.

Our historic gates wouldn?t have us above the 3rd tier, the irony is we?ve become a very well supported club from NL success.

I agree bar the obvious exceptions good and bad teams are never far away from the league their gates are aligned to.

That said within the league you operate it?s far from that, other owners can compensate 3 to 4K deficit in gates by ploughing in an extra million.
