Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has hailed his backroom management team, saying Richard Thomas and Mark Crossley deserve a lot of credit in the club's turn in fortunes.
Nolan put pen to paper on a new three-year deal at Meadow Lane earlier this week, a major step forward in the club hoping to work its way up the Football League.
βIβm delighted Thommo will be with me. Norm (Crossley) will be with me too,β the Notts manager told the Nottingham Post. βHeβs got a couple of years on his contract already so heβs fine!
βThe whole staff is great from them to Kate (Alan Hardyβs PA). You forget about these people who make it possible to concentrate on football.
βI want to thank Alan for being first class. We hit it off in my interview and knew it could be great. I was very confident I could keep this club up and get it to a stable position this year.
βI knew how Thommo worked. Heβs one of the best coaches Iβve worked with. I knew he could take me to the level. I feel Iβm a good coach, but heβs much better than me.
βHeβs born to be a coach. Heβs been living with me. Some nights we sit till half 12 talking about football. He doesnβt stop. Heβs got a drive the same as mine. Heβs the best assistant I could ask for.
βNorm is a massive personality. Heβs been a massive part of this. The three of us, weβre always together and weβre a good team.β
