Mark Yates anyone? He did Ok at Cheltenham, hardly an inspiring choice, but at least he has experience and guided Cheltenham to the playoff twice. Also on the subject of Paul Hurst, I think he would bring some stability and at least shore up our leaking defence!

As fans, are we looking for the Holy Grail of managers, or do we just go with sure and steady for a while?

@Fozzy Really disagree. Yates was an abject failure at Crawley...One reason why he shouldnt be given another chance at Notts..... I would prefer Hurst, Cotterill, Pennock and even the Braintree manager over Yates

I'm not saying I want him as Notts manager @Piethagoram (far from it as I would love to see Cotterill back), but he has been interviewed according to Sky Sports. He obviously must have had some success at Cheltenham to have stayed so long and Crawley were in a financial mess for quite a lot of this season.

I want a manager that will play half decent football, improve the defence and have the guts to wrestle control from Branston. We need someone in the Warnock, Allardyce, Cotterill mold, but I haven't a clue who that would be, or whether he would come to Notts.

@Fozzy Point taken but I am worried that he has been considered for interview...Crawley played Jamie's style of hoof ball. For that reason alone, he should not be worthy of consideration

I'm not inspired by any of the names.

It's a no to Mark Yates from  me. He was in charge at Cheltenham for something like 5 years and got them into the play-offs twice on presumably modest resources, but if I remember rightly they were rock bottom of the league when they sacked him and ended up going down. And Crawley were just as bad as us this season.

Paul Hurst's record seems OK, but the jury is out. The PE teacher from Braintree sounds interesting but is too much of a risk. And unless we get new owners with lots of dosh, Cotterill isn't coming back either.

My favourite, if we could get him, would be Chris Powell. Failing that you can roll a dice.

Yates ruled out. Well that's one bullet dodged. Sounds like Cowley isn't being considered either.

What's Steve Thompson doing nowadays?

He's watching a lot of Boston United for radio Lincs from what I can gather, beats the building trade though.

I was like this before, which I have to admit - I wasn't even sure about Mark Cooper but I naturally warmed to him.

Provided the next manager tries to connect with us Notts fans, they have a good grasp on the game and what is required - I'll accept them but ideally one I relate too would help. Fullarton/Curle etc I found difficult.

il wait to see who this expeiernced manager is I've heard the word expierenced before then we got Fullarton so yea

Perhaps when he or Octavian own the club?

Maybe out of Notts's price range?

I do believe he's a good manager but Cloughie built a team there that should have made the playoffs easily, but quite like McLaren at derby, he was unable to get promoted with a team that should have gone up easily

We won't ever be able to get a half decent manager under this ownership, let's just hope the club is actually sold soon
