I thought he would prefer Div 2 football up north rather than non league Notts
I think you might be right. You'd think we'd be able to compete with Barrow if we really wanted him. Plus, IB always seemed to me to be a tiny bit reluctant to praise Ellis.
It obviously depends who comes in to replace him, but I liked Ellis a lot and I hope we don't come to regret this.
Did a good job for Notts, so best of luck to him.
He will have played for 4 Notts managers, or ex-managers in quick succession - Curle, Ardley, Burchnall and Cooper.
Wrong age for the Notts 'project' methinks. Been a great servant on loan though and good luck to him up there.
