When you see so many resignations, it makes you wonder how they think genuine fans feel? I fear for Saturday's attendance, I hope it's not as bad as I think it will be. If people start to blame fans for not turning up - it won't be on. I know of people who aren't going for real reasons, such as someone who doesn't feel safe going down because she's disabled. Whilst another fan is sick of the atmosphere and is very, very loyal.

Did I read somewhere that Julian appointed David Weir as manager at the Blades? That was a colossal failure. No tears that he is going / gone

yea an they were down bottom most of season til they bought in clough I think

either winter has left cause he's made a mistake and isn't big enough to man up to it.

Or the takeover is getting closer but il go for option 1 

He is still in charge until the takeover has taken place incase people missed that bit

and how long with this new guy last, Benedict Mason... In respect to the official statement regarding Stanley, maybe we should refer to a quote from Benedict on his own appointment Quote  I  can also acknowledge that certain things may not have been done as well as they could have been in the past, particularly with regards to communication on a club-fan level. I plan to address this and go beyond, providing transparency and consistency online and on all media platforms to benefit the supporters, and aid the advancement of this club on and off the pitch."

One can only make assumptions but maybe the official statement released yesterday regarding Stanley could have been fuller in information provided. It's briefness left a lot to be interpreted..... It was a chance to lay down the facts in full and it wasn't taken.

#Stanley for first team, CEO and player manager

Have to agree on that one, I don't think the statement went far enough to clear it up

@NewNottsFan For a CEO and a so called professional media team...the standard falls below what I would consider acceptable by a Public company, e.g. release of information to shareholders and the like. It was their big chance to "factually" put down the timeline and facts, not all because some may remain confidential, but the full essence needed to be conveyed fairly..which is the most important thing

So the quiet man has finally roared and decided that he has had enough as well. Well I won't miss him, in fact I've hardly heard anything from him, so it may be for the best that he is off to Huddersfield (allegedly).

Obviously he never did his homework before joining Notts, because anybody that had would have realised that the club needed an experienced manager and not another rookie put in charge of the team. Huge mistake Mr Winter and that is your Notts County legacy.

@Piethagoram couldn't agree more with you but for some reason that chance wasn't taken....I don't work there so I can't comment further

There seems to be a mistrust at the moment and an assumption that the club , and their officials, are lying about things just now which is shame but if I've read the word 'Liar' once online , I've read it a million times about the club and staff, across all social media and I'm not entirely sure why fans would think the entire club is lying to them? People can argue about performances, appointments, communication, promotions, prices, form, condition of the pitch, stadium or where the club is going.... but when you get to a stage where some fans feel that club are lying to them no matter what they issue, then you are not in a good place.

Why has Julian Winter resigned? I have absolutely no idea but when the fans assume everything that is said is disingenuous then that can't be good.

This is based purely on accounts across all social media and not reflective of users on here (before you all pile on)

I just hope the fans get back to a place where they, at least, believe what they are being told...if not?  what's the point?

I'm not convinced by any stretch that information from the club is anything less than 100% factual and well intentioned but , then again, I'm not always in the majority it seems

@NewNottsFan It's really a back to basics situation. One of the first doctrines of business is "Know your customer". What has subsequently happened could and should have been predicted.

Had Jamie's philosophy been to come in and just tighten the defence without losing the forward potency of the team, all would have probably been fine. I respect your views, but on the evidence that Jamie has presented us, he has put the football light years back with hoof ball, he does not engage well in media interviews, which us sensible fans rely on to understand the decision making process, and seemingly has put our continental players out in the footballing wilderness. No wonder the "natives" are not happy.  Furthermore the interviews Jamie has given does not tie in to the game we supporters have just seen...and don't get me on about playing Alan Smith and Noble as a winger. All this points to absolutely no confidence in the manager. Not once has he put his hand up to say ..."Folks, I got it wrong?"

Someone has mentioned that Julian has lined up a post at Huddersfield. Whether that is true or not I don't know. His own silence during the months he has been with Notts has done nothing visible to promote the club. He has appointed a new media and marketing executive..and to oversee the first official statement on Stanley, was a big failure.

The whole club is in chaos. I just hope we gather enough points from somewhere to avoid relegation. To be outplayed in the final 20 minutes by a team that hasnt won in 2 months, says all you need to know about the state of things here.

 

 

I still feel sorry for Jamie Fullarton, when your chairman says 'experience' but opts for a method which we have seen be unsuccessful before, not once but several times - it will naturally concern people. I recall doing the PONcast which spoke of the arrival with @Joe Jones who said it's not a 'gamble' you take in this division when things aren't working.

When Jamie Fullarton first spoke about wanting to finish 'as high as possible'. I just wished he had of answered "My focus is to regroup with the players, settle down the squad and bring a level consistency to the performance." - perhaps adding "I would like to finish as high as possible, play-offs is a possibility but we require much work." Instead he didn't want to answer in detail. Press conference are peoples chance to get their message across, I always think a manager should be open, clear and realistic but at the same time show a bit of ambition.

I honestly haven't seen much of that from Fullarton, I also fail to see how he impressed in his interview - I'm not saying this not to be personal or offensive.

He just doesn't breed confidence for me and perhaps the players feel the same way?

@notts-joe I think he has been trying to be positive regardless... with only his first change being about the last 30 mins against D & R.

If you are too critical as a new boss you run the risk of alienating the players ( and don't mention Aborah again) or losing the dressing room before you have even started. If he came out after AFC Wimbledon , in his first home game in charge and caned the players he would have got pelters from them.

My point earlier wasn't really about the press stuff as I have too been commenting that its an area he could do with some assistance in...but there appears a mistrust of the club right now which is a much wider problem.

It looks like Notts are having a clearance like Argos! Everything must go.

In other news, Stu Brothers seems to have left the club rather mysteriously for the second time. 

 

Julian Winter has resigned from his position as Chief Executive at Notts County Football Club...

Julian Winter has resigned from his position as Chief Executive of Notts County Football Club.

 

A notice period has been agreed with the board and Julian will remain in his position whilst a full handover of duties takes place.

 

Upon the announcement Julian Winter said, “There have been a lot of changes at the club over recent weeks and I want to stress that my resignation is not in light of these changes.”

 

“I came here with a clear plan of how to take this club forward and it is with regret that I have not been able to complete this important work.”

 

The club will make no further comment at this time. A further announcement will be made in due course.

anyone read the official statement from the club? he actually mentioned the past couple of days had no involvement.

Stepping down so early after Aborah spoke about his problems seems to give the player more merit.

Notts are a joke at the moment!
