20 minutes??!! You deserve a medal or at least a badge.

Even with my mate Stall no doubt talking sense I couldn't, I just couldn't watch it. Although it seems popular with Notts fans who type in their comments.

Your mates with Stall? What are his thoughts on the #mission?!!!

Maybe Paul Mace can do a Mapgie Circle on it!

[laddo]

No idea, you can ask him next he's a guest.

If Mace did I'd naturally have to be the guest which isn't happening because I can't cope with his slow, laboured and unnecessarily repetitive presenting style. I'd log off half way through his Oscar length opening monologue.

I'll watch most of Magpie Circle and NCT (need to watch Analysts bar more regularly). It's great they're there but it does get a bit frustrating at times. None can beat NCM for content! But we know why that is ... anonymity

The problem they have is 'access'. Not only the fact they want access to the players for interviews, but that the players have access to them! This leads them away from discussing the actual team and towards all the pseudo-psychological crap of 'under the radar' 'pressure' etc. Hard to see a way around that. Still, they do a fantastic job and raise the profile of the club.

[AllNottsAreWe]

I watch NCT and Magpie Circle, both have their different styles of presentation.

Tom and George are pretty simplistic and it's an easy watch. Both come across as decent lads.

MC is a different animal. Paul seems to divide opinion with his references to many years of being in football and the well known names he cites as friends. He clearly doesn't rate IB which is fine.
The best episodes in my opinion are the ones with Mark Stallard. He knows his stuff and tells it like it is. I don't mind Leigh Curtis or Charlie Slater.

Les Bradd is a Notts (genuine) legend and is asked mainly about the days under Jimmy.

Not that fussed on the other non footballer guests, not very informative or charasmatic.

[maddogslater]

I like the circle even if he is up his own @rse , like 'my mate stall 😄'

[ManchesterMagpie]

I'm with driller and KK, I don't get that vibe at all, he comes across as respectful (especially to the opposition) , informative and thoughtful on his interviews and doesn't give short sharp responses which is often the case when managers don't win a game. A breath of fresh air for manager interviews.

I remember Charlie Slater surprisingly giving him a unnecessary hard time after one defeat last season.

Although I know a few on here see him as arrogant, I viewed it as nothing more than confidence and belief in his own system which is a good thing in my eyes.

I'm 100% with you on this. The fact that other managers don't like him or his route into management is because they see him as a threat to the 'old school' (managerial merry go round) way of working which keeps them in work for years even if they are crap. If it doesn't work out for IB at Notts he will almost certainly show up at a club much higher up the pyramid and be a success at some point in the future. Hope he sticks around for a while...

I don't disagree really with anything laddo or you have said but I am looking at it through the eyes of the opposition and how his attitude and approach could motivate them. He can come across as arrogant especially to the opposition. That's fine if you have earned the right. He hasn't earned the right yet. James Rowe is the same in that respect ( although far worse than Ian). I suspect James Rowe will earn the right before our Ian does though. Anyone has to come across better than the Yeovil manager though that interview - far too honest! - a train wreck that club by the looks of things.

Don't we only have Mace's comment to back up that he"s not liked?

[Chicken Balti Pie]

Mace seems to me to be a bit of a snake to me. Let's remember he was on the board whilst Hardy pretty much burnt us to the ground and only left when the club was put up for sale. He then claims to be some kind of Messiah who left in disgust rather than it being the end of the gravy train for him, either with access or ego stroking as he probably anticipated a quick sale.

If he was so against Hardy as he claims, why didn't he leave when the rest did? I'm sure a bunch of the board like Fletcher left after Nolan was sacked and the claims that the sacking was unanimous by the board when it clearly wasn't?

Because of that, he is an unreliable narrator and therefore I take what he says with a pinch of salt
