Well KC away record was impressive, it didn't save him but CK has the chance to learn and become a manager. He does need to find his own system, this will come with his own squad and the right players. I think if we stuck with playing 4-4-2 or had 1 upfront but with two versatile strikers/wingers it would work better. The mind need to link the play and become far more creative, the whole squad need alternative routes at creating chances.

I have faith in CK, give him a little longer!

Well i dont have faith in him when we lose judgey were in the crap who's gonna want 2 sign for us or a manager like that no one much good 2 or 3 win 8 draws is it and 3 loses dont deserve being hired im already worried bout next season

Well i dont have faith in him when we lose judgey were in the crap who's gonna want 2 sign for us or a manager like that no one much good 2 or 3 win 8 draws is it and 3 loses dont deserve being hired im already worried bout next season

Judgey would walk mostly regardless of CK, I think the only real chance of him staying included getting an experienced manager who could talk him into saying but lets face it. Alan Judge looks like an ex magpie, though if by some miracle he does sign, even you have to give CK credit if he's in charge if this does happen. Let him get his own squad! I'm sure he has contacts.

I think you may be surprised with the respect and connections that CK has.

Only time will tell.

I didn't mean sack KC in 6 month but give him a bit of time before criticising.He's only been appointed permanent manager this week and already he's being written off by some.Wait and see what happens in the summer and Notts fans may have more reason for optimism.

I think The Board should have waited until the end of the season before handing out a 3 year contract. If Notts lose all of their remaining games or carry on playing football that's not entertaining, it will be very difficult to get people to part with their money for next season. I don't dislike CK, I would love him to succeed but I am anxious about our future, particularly if F****t get promoted to the Premiership!! It will become increasingly difficult to attract supporters.

I think the board have been very clever with the offers for season tickets, this should attract people if marketed. Some fans have been complaining that CK has been given a 3 year deal, although I think it makes sense if they're going to support him through the tough times as Liam touched upon. I agree, it would of been a good idea to wait, although we're Notts and this hardly ever happens.

With our tickets being pretty attractive, the younger fans able to attend games. (great for families) I honestly think it might work, vocal support goes along way and I see this as work in progress.

Some fans are unhappy about the season tickets refusing to repurchase but this could be all the difference we need.

A fresh year, some new faces and a couple offloads. The more concerning fans on board, might not see promotion but a couple of seasons to gain actual stability would be most welcomed at least for me. I'm not against CK, despite hoping for an experienced manager but in life we need to make do of the situations we face. I can see some positives, much more with fans on-side.

I don't see them going up but we would have to step up our game, support included.

The 3 year deal is just a sign of commitment, something to bring the players and fans comfort. I would have given him a two year deal at the most, then a rolling year contract unless he overly impressed. I think it's a good thing by the club, I haven't seen the season ticket prices but I will renew. The football hasn't been pretty, the passing at times is and only time will tell. I wish Chris well! The end of the season will show us a glimpse, I will not judge by frindlies.
 

The new offers are good for families. I hope I never feel the need to not renew my season ticket but I can't hide my disappointment at some of this seasons football especially at home. I think I've had more value for money at away games than home games this season! I also want stability and continuity with a manager and I sincerely hope CK can put a team together that is capable of competing.

Based on the one Notts match I've seen this season(Bury)there doesn't seem too much wrong.Ok Bury are a poor side  but I did witness the worst and best of Notts.CK will be very busy sorting out who's staying  and who's going and then he has to try and persuade the players he wants to actually sign .If Notts can find that elusive player with an eye for goal(and other players too) and turn 1point into 3points then this time next year you may all be looking at automatic promotion.

Don't start! LOL... Lets get stability, our thoughts and ideas into perspective so we can avoid the dreams being burst if it's not to happen. I agree to a point, a few different players and a goal scorer we could be fighting the top end of the league but I won't pin any hopes on this. 4-5 players required much better than what we do have in order to rival any of the teams coming down.

There is a school of thought that suggests that Keith Curle and his assistants weren't sacked for football reasons but because Ray isn't willing to put more money into the club and it was a cost cutting exercise. I am tending to go along with this. The evidence points to it being true, one of the highest earning players (Lee Hughes) allowed to leave without an adequate replacement, KC and his assistants being sacked and the youth team manager being promoted to the job which is obviously a cheaper option and now the pronouncement that we are going to rely on youth team players and nurture them to become squad players in the first team.

 

I am not blaming Ray for taking this course of action, he has pumped a lot of HIS money into the club and obviously there comes a point when he must think enough is enough, he has done a great job since he became chairman with vast improvements being made in all areas particulary off the field. As long as Ray remains the owner and unless he gets some new investment into the club and think the days of signing high earning players and big name managers are over.

 

I really hope that his strategy works and that in a couple of years we have maybe half the first team consisting of home grown players, it would be great to see home grown players like Tommy Johnson, Mark Draper et al, gracing Meadow Lane again.

Better to sort out finances now than end up in the mess that quite a few other clubs are in.There will be some unpopular developments coming up and progress may not be evident and slow.

It's debatable.

The loss of income from attendances must be outweighed, the danger of our figures slipping much lower would mean that the playing budget will eventually suffer further. It's strange, I wouldn't have thought Mr Trew would appear by video link for a fans forum and I will openly say he should be present. It leaves me to thinking if it becomes 'difficult' the link will be closed, though I wouldn't blame that considering some of our fan base but It's disappointing. I have the utmost respect for the Trews, they've done wonders for the club.

I'm not sure about the rumours, it's easy to say this is the reason when placed with the current situation but I wouldn't personally pay attention until there's more to go on.

Mr Trew is supposedly selling the club, I would imagine this would be hard to keep quiet. I hear so many things since starting Pride of Nottingham that my thoughts remain on the passion side of things and not what's going on behind the scenes. I just don't know what to believe, so hopefully tomorrow we can get some answers. I wouldn't insult anyone, as some are claiming we deserve 'honesty'. I believe we will be told the truth, lies become harder to keep after time.

COYP!
