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.
