Difficult question which I'm struggling to answer. On the one side the constant sacking of managers has got us nowhere, but on the other side Ardley has done nothing to suggest he is worth persevering with.
I'd ask to 'phone a friend' if I had any.
Hardy's management of the club from a business point of view clearly hasn't been good, but it can't be said he hasn't invested in the team. In fact, the financial situation suggests he over-invested. It's the football professionals he has employed (and possibly overpaid) who have put us in the situation we are on the pitch and on the league.

I think at the end of the day, the Manager has to take the blame. He brought in his players in January and let Turley and Dennis go. He has had a fair crack at it. However, we have got to get away from this hire ‘em and fire ‘em attitude. Too many people connected with the club look for a fast fix for what has been happening over the last few years. This goes for owners and fans alike. We now look like we are going to be relegated, so let’s stick with Ardley and give him the support to get us back up.
I'd probably stick just to avoid more chaos and negativity, plus another crippling payoff. But I do think he deserves to be sacked for the results and performances we've seen over the last few months.
We're as good as down anyway, so I'd replace him in the summer. Start afresh. Ardley looks like a broken man to me. He had a nightmare season at Wimbledon and it's just continued at Notts. He'll hopefully get another chance somewhere else and do well, but it's not working for him here. I really wish it had though.
