Didn't Grant's performance drop off after Yates left and we "strengthened the squad as promised" and the whole team started to misfire? Plus hadn't KN's mates gone too losing that presence in the dressing room/training pitch.
It was the performance from Feb to the end of the season when we could have gone up automatically, plus the bad start that cost KN his job.
If he could have had both for £100k then it seemed to me a no-brainer instead of that "box to box midfielder" that he shed tears over signing from Liverpool.
When it comes to loan players, you can't act all entitled. As much as we got screwed over in the end, they did us the favour in the first place. Notts had built up a platform with the help of those players to be able to push on and blew it. Nolan seemingly didn't have the strength of character to deal with the disappointment and bounce back in time to temper Hardy's impatience.
Lots of clubs narrowly miss out on promotion every year and most of them do not implode, almost none to the point Notts did.
Christ is this guy still talking ****e?!!
To be fair sacking Nolan was one of the few things he did get right.
