Now that Harry Kewell is gone should we start looking for someone with experience? 

Given our current position and how disappointing this season is turning out to be surely we need to be looking into getting a manager who has a great reputation in league 2 and can get us out of this rot. 

Neal Ardley, recently left Wimbledon, could be a great shout. Has a great managerial cv. 

We need to stop recruiting rookie managers in the past it hasn't worked. Fullerton, less said the better. 

Nolan, felt he did great last season reaching play offs and great cup run however we should have been automatically promoted but form wasn't great. 

Kewell, didn't seem the man who could turn us round and that strange decision to replace dennis with Duffy was probably the last straw realistically. 

Phil Brown, has been sacked by Swindon Town, another possible manager to look at.

@Bainbridge NCFC"Phil Brown....." You cannot be serious...but would keep Tanning salons in Nottingham in business.

Ardley, Hurst, Bowyer, Appleton...all good cv's and have worked with minimal budgets

There were also 2 close other choices, when Nolan was first appointed...Robins and  Flitcroft

 

Experienced manager doesn't really tell you a lot.  Most experienced managers at this level are experienced in both success and a great deal of failure, which is why they are still at this level.

A Neal Ardley would work for me, and also wouldn't mind seeing King Kev back 

An experienced manager is needed but we could have all told him that before he got kewell, so hopefully this time he gets it right.

Notts needs someone with experience but most importantly an understand of League Two football.

They have to be able to spend a budget wisely, know how to build a team and can adapt their tactics based on who we play. It's perfectly fine to say the club needs to be playing 'pretty football' but when you come against teams like Yeovil, Crawley and Stevenage you need to break them down by being much more smarter than that. There's a host of assets and skills required to do well, being a good man manager and coach can only get you so far.

Harry Kewell may have been a good coach but his man-management left a lot to be answered.

Just a sensible decision, someone who can get the best out of the club and take us forward. Quit with this 3-5 year plans, hire someone who can do a job this season and we can go from there. If they do well enough extend, if not - allow someone else to take over before the pre-season starts.

Paul Hurst or Appleton for me. Although I have just seen a rumour suggesting Appleton isn't interested. Hurst would be my ideal appointment but if not then it would be Ardley. Nolan would get us out this mess but not necessarily ready to mount a promotion push. 

We need someone with Plan A,B and C if things go wrong. As @Chris stated above Kewell's man management was woeful and left players wondering what was going on I think. 

We need someone on a 1 year and a half contract which would give them a season and a half to prove what they can do. Im not overly worried about the 25 managers in 20 years statistic as theres no loyalty in football anyway and further down the leagues survival is everything. 

@samwatto2008 forgot Paul Hurst recently sacked by Ipswich. Great shout mate.

Looking like Nolan or Ardley but the team selection tonight scream Kevin Nolan.

Hurst, Bowyer or Ferguson for me now I've heard that Appleton said no to the job

@samwatto2008 probably one of the few but I'd be happy to have him back. Especially after his interview the day after he was sacked. Think he could of turned things round eventually. 

Might only be one game, could even be a one off, but after tonight should we see how Chettle goes till end of December and then bring in a manager so he has a January window to work in and build squad? 

I can't see Kevin Nolan returning, the club needs someone else and The Post are notorious for trying to mislead fans in order to sell a few papers.

did chettle take charge tonight?

i hope we dont give him the role until december, you need a manager who can sort the squad and start to shape them before the transfer window opens. we might be able to offload some of the dead wood but i would not entrust chettle to do this due to his lack of experience.
