Maurice Ross Sacked

[Notts78]

Maybe he tried to disconnect the Reedtz brothers' computer.

Probably nothing much more than a disagreement with Burch as to how to move forward, but short of any more info the fans are left to speculate the worst.

Can’t see it being a disagreement with IB. That’s what assistants are for. No manager worth his salt wants a yes man.

Magpie Circle tonight live at 7pm

[Stan Marshall]

That’s a shock. They appeared to be a good combination and he provided the experience of playing the game professionally. I was actually impressed with his recent interview. The plot thickens!

[Shropshire_Pie]

Maybe he was declared as not nice enough for Mitts after his interview.

[crazyfists]

Bloody hell what is going on at Notts thesedays, just before a big game as well not that there was much hope anyway. Must have been a falling out.

[Shropshire_Pie]

Or Notts even.

[bouncingoffthewalls]

He was cleary the bad cop of the duo but the "We will be making no further comment" really does suggest something serious has happened. Not what IB needs right now but maybe is a chance to get someone who really know this level.

[Evesham Pie]

Shocked by this and more than a little disappointing.

Hopefully this time the replacement won't be Greg Abbott.

[Woodypie]

You don't get sacked for falling out. Gross misconduct?

So either Burch now becomes no.2 to an experienced manager announced in the coming days...... or........

A 23 year old we've never heard of with a distinguished career working with under 16s on the Isles of Scilly (where he is very well thought of) will be appointed as Burch's new assistant.
