The whole Wrexham thing is simply a TV Project. Once they have filmed their few series the Deadpool persons will sell it. Its franchise football and its nothing more than a joke to me.
Whilst I love Notts, I take an interest in other clubs fortunes too.
Stockport's recent wealthy owners, their ground redevelopments, their likely big spending in the summer.
The troubles at Dover, Derby's potential points deduction etc.
I found myself watching a couple of episodes on YouTube by the Wrexham fan Liam Roberts. He is a young lad who does a NottsCountyTalk type show, but on his own.
He doesn't slag off other clubs and gives credit where it's due.
He was talking about the short list for their new manager, Mark Hughes, Darryl McMahon, Keith Hill, Graeme Alexander seem to be the favourites.
They have a pre season trip to the USA which must be a first for a NL club ?
They will play Philadelphia Union "one of the biggest names in the MSL" and Ryan Reynolds may be in attendance.
They have spent a lot on their training facilities and installed LCD advertisement boards at The Racecourse, which he is very excited about.
Appointing Les Read as their DOF is a big coup for the NL.
I will be interested to see the quality of their transfer dealings with probably the biggest player budget.
Heavy financial backing - let's see if it's an instant success, and how long the Hollywood stars hang around for.
Interesting times ahead - but for Notts too.
COYP.

Les Read you say????? Ooooo now that is interesting and slightly worrying. They could have an equivalent to the Munto season and stroll to the title if they make similar highly impressive signings.
Got to keep a watch on who the manager will be and which big names go to North Wales.
How does FFP stand in non league.
Les Read is 70 next year and feels like one of those football dinosaurs from an earlier age (a bit like Don Howe). I'm much happier with the route Notts (and Stockport, for that matter) are taking with a young coach with fresh ideas based on attacking principles. Whatever happens next season, I'm sure we're going to be entertained more often than not (especially with the right summer signings).
I share your confidence. This confidence is reinforced whenever I hear the coach speak as he clearly had huge self belief in his coaching abilities. As illustrated again in the latest IB catch up which is well worth a watch, once again it's insightful and honest.
As nw6 says he's young, fresh ideas, and he delivered what he promised in that very first interview in terms of style of play of one of his teams.
