He wouldn't I think he's still got alot to offer. But if we bring someone in we need to make it a year contract with an extension based on performance. If he doesn't succeed performance then he will have that one season only. 

Darren Ferguson or as a very big long shot, more chance of 4 quadruple promotions but Sam Allardyce.

As long as he can come in and make necessary changes and has experience than welcome

He would be an astute appointment by Alan Hardy if he could pull this off.

Darren Ferguson's stock does seem quite low at the moment and Notts on paper does have a decent squad which could talk him into considering it.

Personally, I'd give an experienced manager a chance. Someone who will have a long term plan. Ian Holloway is a long shot but might be worth taking, if he's up for it. Gary Bowyer and Mike Appleton are good managers but it's not what we quite need in my opinion. Harry Kewell or Jimmy Floyd aren't experienced enough. Gary Johnson recently sacked from Cheltenham has a good reputation might be worth a shot. 

Mike Appleton, Ian Holloway and Darren Ferguson all seems good picks.

My fear is two of the three wouldn't consider this division at all, Appleton might but I think he would want a club that could offer him a little more. You never know but Harry Kewell, Jimmy Floyd and Gary Johnson all seem like deadwood.

Besides does the club want a manager like JFH who has gotten into trouble?

@AmericanPie he's got no problem getting out league 2 as seen with Northampton but then went to Burton struggled then struggled on his return to Northampton

Didn't he get in trouble for the way he signed players though?

At this minute meeting time I’m still reeling over Kevin’s departure so im not to sure .. but maybe clough just maybe his did wounders at the city ground maybe he can do them herr

I know a decent manager with over 40% win rate.


Unfortunately we've just sacked him.

3 manager's linked Ardley and Kewell are known who's the 3rd?

I think the 3rd manager under contract might be Michael Flynn from Newport. They're 5th at the moment and if he can get a team with Scot Bennett at CB to 11th in the league he must have something about him!

Neal Ardley is a manager that I quite like coming in, he's an upcoming manager than has enough experience for my liking.

He's managed to keep his job since 2012 which speaks volumes, so stability and a long term plan must be strengths of his. Also, I think he will be used to balancing a tight ship and would do well for us.

The only issue is getting Wimbledon to agree terms.

However, he seems to be playing it cool or it's just the papers creating their own headlines as this is how he's described the rumours.

Exactly...

Club's look for a manager with a good win ratio, they employee managers with a high ratio but sack one for not doing well. ????‍♂️

Whoever comes in will have a job to do with all that's going on, I just want to see Notts finally settle down.
