Actually, @Super_Danny_Allsopp and I was discussing Duffy - he was bad but Audel stuck out by miles for me. Poor runs, wasteful distribution, always out of position, gave silly fouls and weirdly (and I don't get this) he knocked the ball out three times when a Peterborough player last touched the ball, ultimately giving them the ball back.

Like I say, none of the players deserve any praise - not even Jon Stead.

Some performed better than others but as a team sport/performance none of it was above poor.

I get what ya saying @Piethagoram massive work to do , think more are calling for his head now for sure , defence has been awful all season none should be kept for me , think personally if the loan window changes hadn't come in he would have changed things already , his own signings have let him down and the lack of quality from the rest he inherited is there for all to see , I'll go with what the new owner decides personally , but he could do well under better circumstances that will come now .

i would like to know why anyone would want js gone.

you always get people wanting a different manager but these people dont take the portion of blame for having got managers sacked in the first blame. i find it odd that people solely blame sheridan like some did with cooper but was quick to side over fullarton. theres no consistency with some fans.

Certainly more want John Sheridan out, though most are saying because other managers are available - its like a new phone release, people want to instantly upgrade.

I also wonder what Hardy thinks, as its him who will decide.

@super_ram: As an outside perspective and as someone who clearly had nightmares from watching our defending against Peterborough yesterday - do you think Sheridan should go? How do you feel the defence could be improved?

Regarding Russell Slade I think he's a decent manager but somewhat overrated in my opinion.

He's also someone who may spilt the fan base in terms of views because he's a lot like Charlie McParland but just a better manager overall. If Hardy goes down the route of sacking Sheridan, I would hope he chooses someone who isn't apart of the managerial merry-go-round that finds themselves unemployed very frequently.

Tough one this. The easiest task in the world is to spend someone elses money for them. 

1 Give Sheridan time to prove himself. I agree with the poster who touted Gary Rowett but would he drop 2 divisions?

2, 3 and 4 are all no brainers. I think we need a real football man who understands the game but also appreciates the need to be realistic with targets.

5 Fan initiatives. To the best of my knowledge the EFL set a minimum match day admission price but I could be wrong. How about an adult season ticket for £230 at the start of the season meaning it would only cost a tenner a game? Would that double the gate and improve the atmosphere at the Lane? Surely worth trying for 1 season at least/

6 Bench initiative. Not overly fussed to be honest. Could be incorporated into number 5

7 Media department. Needs improving significantly. Social media match commentaries are a good few minutes behind most other clubs. Not good enough

8 Cleaning the seats. Another no brainer. You wouldn't put up with it at a cinema or theatre so why should we put up with it at football?

9 Transparency with supporters. Again not entirely straight forward. I don't think it is proper for any business to declare every minor detail and air its dirty laundry in public. However, a little PR goes a long way and it is an area where Notts could gain brownie points with the fans

10 Family stand facade. Not a priority but it could do with a makeover. Get the footballing side sorted first anr then worry about the peripherals.

 

Top of the agenda, avoiding the drop obviously, with the current manager or a new one and the youth academy, the seats will have to wait. My sons team plays at the same level as his U10's side and he's very passionate about grassroots football, so I'm expecting some considerable investment in the youth setup.

Transparency? Social media is a massive problem (just look at the Trews and Fawaz) I've already had the pleasure of being blocked from his twitter page for a (unrelated to NCFC) comment he did not like, but as chairman and owner of NCFC he'll have to get used to all sorts of digs if/when things aren't going to plan. There's a lot coming via Twitter at the mo, hopefully it's not a trend and purely down to not having any official route yet. Once the deal is done and dusted statements on the official site will suffice.

He is a successful businessman and will have a solid strategy in place, so hopefully he'll bring that success with him to Meadow Lane and I wish him all the best.

Agreed @ScaffPie, hopefully he'll learn from Ray Trew's mistakes.

My hope is that Alan Hardy will be a kind of boardroom version of Martin Allen - raising morale and getting people to pull together. Notts are a real drag to support, work and play for right now, and we need to bring the fun back.

For me he needs to offer Damian Irvine whatever he wants to come back, the youth set-up isnt as easy as just throwing money at it, unfortunately the clubs reputation proceeds it and most if not all of the best coaches, scouts etc are very sceptical about Notts.

I'm not arsed how he communicates to fans as long as we are all in the know at the same time

 

Apparently a big snag to sort out Monday , AH Twitter 

I wonder if its anything to do with what Michael O'Connor suggested about the players not being paid.

Don't know @notts-joe , hope it can be sorted whatever it is , please no delays 

any news on this? i hope there are no delays.

Been checking social media , bbcrns , all day not seen anything as yet @liampie .
