Ian Burchnall gone - BBC

That was soon in my head as a concern. There three players instantly I would be very disappointed if they went with him.

I don't believe IBs time at Notts warrants anyone to be delighted or devastated with his departure. I suspect 95% will be somewhere in between those extremes.

I am not delighted but pleased he has gone. After Monday I was dismayed at the prospect of another season of his tippy tappy. But I know that unfortunately it will just be another tippy tapster in charge for next season. Wouldn't it be nice to coax Neil out of retirement for one (more) last job!

12 years to the day Cotterill left for Portsmouth - what's he up to these days?

Best result of the season. Compensation for a bloke who would never take us up. Should have been sacked after Wealdstone away after 22 games. That was the night we timidly gave up any real chance of top spot. Not good enough all season and worryingly none of our weaknesses were ever addressed, we just kept ploughing on the same way knowing it would bring failiure.

That's a fair enough opinion on its own, but I don't see how you can square it with being strongly against the sacking of Ardley.

We had numerous results like that against small teams under NA, with a worse PPG and less attractive football.

A good point well made.
