I think after Harry Kewell's last post match reaction it said it all, he had became incredibly arrogant and could have caused more demand than good. He reminded me a lot of Kevin Nolan before his departure, the only difference is Nolan seem to know that he was on borrowed time.

The next manager is a crucial decision, it's important that experience comes in.

Please do not appoint Paul Hart, he would be another step backwards for the club.

It wasn't a great appointment in the first place. No real managerial experience. His talking in press conferences were top draw but his actions were anything but that. Right decision by Hardy but at the wrong time. Maybe he could of succeeded had he recruited more inn January but just like Nolan they haven't got the time to prove it. I'll still say Nolan should of stayed. But now I want to see a manager who has experience preferably Neal Ardley. 

The decision needs to be sensible on who replaces Harry Kewell, we cannot opt for a named manager again.

Notts have their league status hanging in the balance.

I would also hope that Paul Hart only takes temporary charge because we need a visionary as the next manager, someone who can place building blocks and build for the future. The way Notts could play shouldn't take importance over the results. Notts have to win now at all costs.

Sorry @liampie but i think Nolan had lost the plot personally and  was more interested in ranting about the referees, rather than his own poor signings. His football was one dimensional and he was unable to adapt to the change needed with the players signed in the summer. Look at the squad deficiencies, it is all his doing in not addressing them in the summer.

this was just pressure of the job, i do feel kn had a plan and struggled due to inexperience. if he had ph by his side it would have been easier imo.

I saw the news on tv. Although it was expected at some point soon, i wasn't expecting before christmas. He really wasnt doing well but i dont think hardy would like it if all the fans had the choice to sack the chairmen like he does managers... Same goes for the trews. They'd be out of a job as soon as they got into it.

Oh dear, oh dear.

2 months ago Alan Hardy said this about Harry Kewell; “it’s a shame it’s only a 3 year contract, I’d have liked it to have been more but we’re restricted by what we’d like to do. If I could have given him a 5 year contract, I’d have given him a 5 year contract. We’ve got a plan, we’ve got a journey that we’re going on and this man is going to deliver it for us”.

I don’t know what to say really… I can’t say I’m surprised as HK didn’t endear himself to the fans and the performances had taken another dive. But, he hasn’t really had much of chance. I think there must have been behind the scene clashes which has lead to this abrupt sacking.

I just can’t understand all the **** Hardy gets. He can’t do right for doing wrong. People wanted Nolan out and he was gone, he tried to go with a generally acknowledged up & coming coach costing him a fortune, people then started calling for his head after a few weeks and he’s gone ! 

So far I have seen about 15 names quoted of who people want, no doubt who ever he appoints, if we aren’t winning 10 games in a row after a few days the nex incumbent will be on the chopping block.

PLEASE whoever we get let’s get behind them and the Chairman and give the club some breathing space.

I’m criticising Hardy because he didn’t give Kewell long enough, so I’m sympathetic to your views

People will never get behind something thats failing, so even given time people wont like it.

I think it was on the cards. I'm glad he's gone. He always came across as a bit arrogant in my eyes. Michael appleton would be a fairly good replacement

 

I couldn't see it succeeding but I'm still shocked it's happened so soon. I've got to admit I've never really believed in Kewell, nor did he really make any attempt to get the fans onside aside from the usual platitudes about being such a big club blah blah blah.

Now we are much in the same place we were in before Kevin Nolan arrived. We're in a right mess but, like then, we do at least have a squad that is capable of better than this. We just need the right man to form a team out of them.

Kewell was never upto the job and the next manager needs to have more experience and ability to work with a team they haven't bought in.

Most might not be disappointed but I am.

It's all down to Hardy if a manager works out or not, he clearly employed the wrong person and over hyped Harry Kewell from day one. Kewell was losing his touch, taking Kristian Dennis off for Richard Duffy says it all for me. Trying to hang onto a point at home rather than going for all three, just negative tactics but I am annoyed that two managers have gone very early during this season.

he seemed to lose his head after we went on the three game winning streak, he just did not seem to know who was the best players to choose at times.

i mean shaun brisley in midfield and richard duffy on for kristian dennis.

bizarre!!
