Folk can nit-pick all they like but we have what we have, 1st & formost are our owners, they are class, no bold statements thrown out publicly, just walk the talk out of sight, we longed for this years ago & we now have it. Regards Edwards, as assistant he has dealt with top level footballers, some, no doubt prima donna's, that's where his worth comes into play. Forget about Orient etc, he is now at Meadow Lane.

Part of Andy Edwards 'vast experience', in fact, his only job as a club manager was at Leyton Orient, the season they went down out of the Football League, 20016/2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_E...er,_born_1971)

Edwards was appointed permanent manager on 23 November 2016 following the departure of Alberto Cavasin.[12]

Edwards left Orient for a role with the Football Association on 29 January 2017 as an out-of-possession coach working with England's development teams.
...

He managed 11 games, losing 8, and had a win percentage of 18%. He worked for our head of recruitment at the time. To quote Sir Alex Ferguson, 'When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure'.

Yeah I said something similar in the other place. People think theres some science to all this, but no, Gagliardi has just got the bloke he knew from Leyton Orient when they were crap. The bloke whos been pushing traffic cones round St Georges Park for the last 7 years.

I don?t think anybody (players coaches managers) came out of that period of Leyton Orient?s history in a good light. Something to do with a crazy owner doing wild and reckless things at the top. Reminds me of one our past owners

Why would our brothers do anything scientific or data led there is nothing to suggest that would happen . Better in believing they used a tombola in their recruitments of players staff. Looks like they are lucky owners then

BFP have you actually done any digging on what Edwards has done exactly in coaching or is just more conjecture with the usual negative slant.

You need to mix it up more than Notts do on a Saturday

This bloke has vast playing and coaching experience.
Interesting hire, we should wish him and Paterson every success. Get behind them and give them a chance.

It's not as if there's any going back now. It's done, this is our new coaching team.

After watching that interview with Andrew, I feel much better. Looking forward to seeing the new look Notts.

The cliched saying is "talk is cheap".

IMHO - Better persuaded by what people have actually achieved rather than by what they say they will do.

Ive no idea what youre talking about. Andy Edwards has coached for Orient and various levels at the FA. What hes achieved to get the Notts job would be a mystery but it?s not because we know our HoR knew him from his time at Orient. As you say they were a bit of a mess but we know neither our HoR or our new assistant head coach did nothing to unmess them. If you know something else feel free to share.

I know you log on to these sorts of boards solely to try to take the piss out of other contributors which is fine if thats how you want to spend your time, but debates about negativity and positivity really are dull. Your general position seems to be agreeing with whatever the owners do, which is fine as well, they are very good owners.

Very good post.

I think we'll reach the point where any Coach refusing the job because of the structure looks more and more unreasonable.

By doing this they are saying....no, I don't want to collaborate. Yeah, you've been investing and building up this club for years, but I Barry Merrygoround should be the one to decide everything, just transfer all your funds to me and I will bring in some 'good lads' for you. I don't do meetings btw and I'm not all that interested in your data. Yeah, I knew about Football Radar and all that but I'm applying for the job anyway on my terms. Just trust me, Barry Merrygoround.

Nice post ! just to echo these thoughts , who in their right mind would refuse to use data to help them in their job to produce a winning team.?
Possibly a Ron Atkinson Type,?! The days of the dinosaurs are coming to an end.
