and tried to force a fan favourite out of the club for no apparent reason.

Ah, so the Sir Stanley love-in is still going strong! There was a very good reason - Aborah was a gutless show pony who contributed next to nothing. If you're still in doubt, look at his career after Nolan rightly binned him.

Ah, so the Sir Stanley love-in is still going strong! There was a very good reason - Aborah was a gutless show pony who contributed next to nothing. If you're still in doubt, look at his career after Nolan rightly binned him.

Regardless of your personal opinion of Aborah or his career before or after Notts, or even before or after Moniz, Stanley Aborah was very clearly a fan favourite and fans wanted him on the pitch. Maybe you were sat on your hands furious or writing Fullerton a letter of thanks for not playing him, but the majority of Meadow Lane was singing the blokes name when he wasn't even on the pitch no matter how you want to rewrite history, at the time he was definitely a fan favourite, that's not up for debate, in my opinion (which like yours, is irellevant as I'm not going to argue) was up there with Jon Stead and on paper, even though he didn't deliver, Izale McLeod as our best player.

No doubt you'll ignore the first 90% of that and just be flabbergasted at the mere thought of Aborah being one of our best players but it's not like there was a great deal of competition if you look back at that squad.

Think your deluded , or just change the facts to suit what you believe

Fullarton turned the best attacking side we had since Munto, into a team with 1 shot in 3 games??

Absolute rubbish, Notts County were 21st in the table when Fullarton arrived, hardly a team with the best attack as you state ,and there were off the field issues, with Trew standing down and putting the club up for sale, and the chief executive also leaving his position
Fullarton had to deal with worse circumstances than Ardley, yet over 12 games, actually did better than Ardley. Yet the witch hunt for Fullarton, and sticking with Ardley for 2 and a half seasons , MADNESS

Only one person is suffering from delusion here.

Moniz was sacked after a 2-2 draw with Morecambe and we were 15th in the table, however, you could tell me Notts were bottom of the league for all i care, the football under Moniz was the best in years, we just couldn't buy a win away from home and Trew pulled the trigger early because he was too impatient and eager for us to get back to League One at the first attempt.

Fullerton was appointed on the 10th of January where, since Moniz had gone we'd dropped one whole position to 16th so you seem to have just plucked 21st out of thin air.

In our 12 home games under Moniz we scored 24 goals and scored 4 in 3 different games.

Under Fullerton we had 5 home games (0W 1D 4L), we didn't score a single goal in the first 4 of them and then scored one against Exeter, where we lost 4-1 and he was sacked shortly after thank f*ck.

Fullerton's win percentage at Notts was 25% by the way.

Allardyce was the Notts manager when I made my first trip to Meadow Lane and from that point until now I'm hard pressed to think of anyone worse than Fullerton other than maybe Carl Heggs but I'm not sure he even counts, there's certainly no other manager that comes close to him as far as being dislikable.

--

As for "stuff going on behind the scenes" it was a sh*t show behind the scenes for Fullerton and Ardley, not really sure it's worth comparing Ray Trew losing his chief exec and wanting to sell the club with Alan Hardy getting his d*ck out on social media, running his company in to the ground and also wanting to sell the club with the threat of it going out of existence. Both were dealt a sh*t hand but Neal Ardley has more professionalism in his little toe than Fullerton ever showed imo.


I'll close by paraphrasing a manager far superior to Jamie Fullerton

"If Fullerton was on fire, I'd dial 998"

I honestly won't ignore anything or be flabbergasted. I agree with some of what you say, but also disagree with some. Was Aborah a fan's favourite? Definitley yes, and I wouldn't argue with that for a second. Was he worth his place? Definitely no in my opinion. I saw some good in him under Moniz, but when Moniz was prematurely and undeservedly sacked Aborah threw his toys out of the pram. He was a waste of a shirt after Moniz had gone, all we saw were a few party tricks on the halfway line and nothing in terms of playing for the team. What really turned me against him was the pathetic stage managed appearance I witnessed at the back of the Pavis stand after a game he didn't feature in. A few fans asked "Why aren't you playing Stanley?". His reply was a beaming smile and "Maybe the manager doesn't like me". It became a personal battle between him and Fullarton, and for all his other shortcomings it's a battle I'm glad Fullarton managed to win. When Nolan binned Aborah, he was very diplomatic and said something like "He's a lovely guy, but he just doesn't show me what I want to see in training". If you look at his overall contribution at Notts (1 goal and 1 assist) and his career after he left us, I think Nolan was really saying what I've repeatedly said - Stanley Aborah was a gutless show pony.

Gone on to what better things? Walsall technical director? Fullarton was an arrogant lying tw*t and a sh*te football manager regardless of whatever the Trews did so he deserved every bit of stick he got. He turned the best attacking side we'd had since Munto into a team that had 1 shot per 3 games, wouldn't speak to any players under the age of 25 and tried to force a fan favourite out of the club for no apparent reason.

Fullarton did win three of his first five games, problem was they were all away, whilst at home we didn't score a single goal until his last match in charge. Had it been the other way around, fans would likely have been more patient with him.

Shady? Disgusting, cringeworthy and embarrassing would be more apt. Not the first bloke learning/plying his trade at NCFC to be humiliated by the Meadow Lane crowd and then gone on to better things. I hope he is able to return one day and stick two fingers up.

My thoughts exactly. It was shameful the way our fans treated him. It's not his fault he was given the job, and he had every right to apply for it. All that anger that should have been aimed at Trew was misdirected at him.

Totally agree, and I actually felt quite sorry for him and all the abuse he suffered even though I was not a fan of the appointment.

He was forced at gun point to take it on then? That RT guy is not one to be menaced with, or maybe Poundpie lured him on.

You know, some people are sensible enough to understand their limitations. He wasn't one of them. Sorry no sympathy from me.

Brilliant point Old Pie - I couldn't agree more.

Aborah's Magpie Circle interview is worth a watch for those who haven't. It is on YouTube in two parts totalling about 2 hours, so you can imagine quite a lot was said...
