Mark Crossley: 'Ray Trew still backs John Sheridan'


Joe Jones

Notts County boss John Sheridan continues to have the backing of Ray Trew, according to assistant manager Mark Crossley.

The Magpies have lost five league games in a row and are 20th in League Two, just four points above the relegation zone.

Despite their awful form, Crossley insists that he and the gaffer have the confidence of the board.

The ex-goalkeeper told BBC Radio Nottingham: "If Notts County were without a manager and looking for someone to get them out of it, John would be an automatic choice.

"I know the chairman is really eager for us to do well. He has been brilliant with and he still thinks we are the right people to turn it around. We can ask no more from him. He is with us and by us.

"But we're realistic. We have lost five on the bounce and this is a results-based industry.

"We know what we have to do and as far as we are concerned we will do it. But we need more from the players.

"Things have to change. We realise that and they will change in January.

"There is only way to get through this and that is by everyone working hard every single day and eventually it will turn."

This makes for bizarre reading, its almost like the Twilight Zone - I just don't understand the point of it.

A manager wouldn't openly criticize the chairman or club.

Maybe they think money matters will be sorted , embargo lifted , and funds available for January  transfer window opening , ????? 

Only chance is if the club is sold, do you really think Ray will spend any further money on us? If the rumours that we are laced in debt, I would think we have more chance of seeing the embargo remaining because its the only way the club can look innocent when no transfers are made.

If we do sign anyone they will be worse fodder than we have, maybe even more so.
