This is a real surprise. Seems that getting a club promoted doesn't stop a manager getting the push when fortunes take a dip.

I think that changing a Manager half way through a season smacks of desperation if it is not forced on a club.

Good luck to them if they feel a new man will bring them success, but it is taking a risk that it may not happen.

This is a mad decision tbh. He's got them competing in the Championship and they were written off before the season began. The gap between League 1 and Championship is getting bigger and if you stay up in your first season, that's a good achievement, especially if you have (most likely) the smallest budget in the division. 

A great coach and someone who will no doubt be high on many clubs lists. Makes you wonder

From EFL1 where you get 12% of tv distribution monies to the Championship, where they get 80% of tv monies shows how difficult it is. 

I would take Des to #Notts... but in reality I think our owners will review at the end of this season.

He wouldn't come down two divisions to manage Notts. Notts couldn't afford his wage demands.

I don't want a manager who was sacked anyway when we have a perfectly good Head Coach right now who's been doing an excellent job.This anti Maynard hysteria really has to stop.
