'We should have stuck with Shaun Derry'

It would be interesting to know why managers are attracted to the position, as I'm sure it would be considered quite the unwanted position - so I guess you have a certain level of faith within your own skill sets or possibly be bordering desperation.

This isn't to attack Notts, we are an attractive proposition but uncertainty about what is expected must be daunting.

That and the potential of a 'black-mark' on your managerial CV.

Nice article but it always makes me smile when every manager that comes in all the fans agree we need stability but as soon as things go wrong those same fans are calling for the managers head.

thanks for the article, but the appropriate part was the bit 'dropping like a stone.' The home from was atrocious and that ties back to the entertainment comment in other posts. SD nice bloke, wrong time and lack of experience and in my opinion, a sensible guiding assistant manager. Laurel and Hardy had nothing on those two!

It is an interesting point about how long should a manager be given to turn things around.

One of the problems at Notts is firstly we appear to back inexperienced managers or out-of-the-box managers.....then we fire them a year later!!

I actually crave for a bit of calm.......sign a half-decent manager......then give them a minimum of 3 years to prove their mettle.

Derry reminds me of a Tony pullis style manager they ain't gonna get you promoted or win titles they motivate you for so long then when it goes wrong it goes really wrong.

Okay he's going okay at Cambridge til Wimbledon stuffed them not been funny but I don't think we have had a proven manager who you look at an say yea you know what his record is damn fantastic.

Moniz hasn't really won a great deal has he.

Derry lack of expierence and panic loans.

Kiwoyma useless.

no point asking for stability with a either a clown in charge or someone who doesn't have the expierence for the job.

i still believe if we bring in Cooper Sheridan either one will turn things around for reasons they have expierence as actual management and will win if backed 

Whether we should have kept Derry until the end of last season is debatable, but he should certainly have gone after that. Remember the ridiculous revolving door of players, with one panic buy after another (how many did we use in the end, 45?) and the run that took us from the top three into the relegation zone? When Mr Trew opened his cheque book last January we signed utter tripe.

I'd question how much knowledge Neil Warnock has of League Two in 2016 but Sheridan is a good shout.

we had more loans then anyone in the country we paid fees for Billy Daniels Will Hayhurst signed Nicky wroe then dumped him Garry Jones and Alan smith in the middle.

We wasted loans on alefe Santos Thomas then tried to buy Liang don't forget paddy can't pass the ball McCourt Patrasso Leroy super lita the list can go on.

No we bloody shouldn't have! We would be doomed if he stayed, poor records home and away!! No thank you.

Its a nice article but we were right to sack Derry, the football was so boring, we would be lucky to get a shot on goal let alone score, Derry had a decent budget by the end of the season but wasted it on paddy McCourt and Leroy lita, I have no beef with Derry but it was right to get rid, just like Moniz

We are a big club at this level and any manager would rather work with a club who spends money rather than one who doesn't
