Worst Notts County manager ever

[Woodypie]

Well, I would say Maynard is in top five since I started following Notts in 1981. Others? Larry Lloyd, Fullerton, Sheridan, Kewell and Ardley. Also big mention for Kendall, who may even knock Maynard out of top five worst ever.

Fullarton will take some beating. Maynard is having a go but he's way ahead of Fullarton.

Perhaps we should focus on recruitment.

In Stuart Maynard's post match interview he said "we're not equipped" , to deal with high balls and long throws. I.E. We don't have the right players for Division 2 defending. I think I, along with every other poster on this board we have been saying this all season. So maybe you can focus on the recruitment team, rather than prematurely trying to rate SM.

Currently, Managing Notts is like rock climbing in flip flops. There are going to be slip-ups.



Edit: Is this the smallest Notts County team - Ever?

Is Maynard way ahead of Fullarton??
Well both Managers in League 2 , so the same level, and both appointed in January

Fullarton P 12 W 3 D 1 L 8 Total Points 10
Maynard P 8 W 1 D 1 L 6 Total Points 4

So in order for Maynard to be better than Fullarton in the next 4 games, Maynard must get 7 points - which for me seems unlikely

Spot on
We've all known it all season and of course every other team in L2 knows it now as we can see from the way opponents play against us week after week

Top of the real Division 1 for a few days with Larry Lloyd I doubt we will ever see that again so i would take him out the top worse managers list for that alone.

Based on PPG (and not including caretakers who were in charge for 1 or 2 games and lost it/both) Maynard is currently the 2nd worst of all time on 0.50.

For worse than Maynard you have to go back precisely 90 years (1934) to a guy called Charlie Jones whose PPG is 0.41 with a record of Pld:17 W:1 D:4 L:12. However he was up against the likes of West Ham, Fword, Sheff U and Newcastle United in tier 2. At 4th tier level Maynard is currently the worst of all time.

I remember things being especially bad under Wombat. His stats were P34 W9 D9 L16 W26.5% PPG 1.06, which aren’t nearly as bad in comparison.

Gary Mills is the correct answer. The likes of Fullarton, Kewell and Kiwomya weren't in charge long enough but were all very bad as well.
