A manager who speaks sense and does what he sees would be nice, I do not follow how a manager like Harry Kewell can make his own job harder by tampering with a formula that he managed to get working.

Albeit for three games but a proper manager would be nice.

What is Mad Dog doing these days!?!?

No, no... Let's hire someone who can take the job forward.

We have given a temporary manager the chance to handle a month before, they end up being awful and still managing to keep the job. No point re-hiring Kevin Nolan. Someone new and sensible please, a manager who works well with players and has a good track record in League Two.

@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. 

sorry, I would not have Nolan back...spent allegedly £300k or so, yet the squad is weaker. You cannot give the guy another chequebook in January and risk blowing the cash again.  

@Piethagoram I'm sure there was a report that Alan Hardy wanted to sign majority of them players and released some of the plays Nolan wanted to keep to make way for the new players arriving. Nolan had a list of players and Hardy did the rest. Nolan wasn't given enough time with the new set of players. We are league two not Premier league players take longer to gel. 

I can't believe fans are wanting Kevin Nolan back after quite a lot wanted him gone, I am unsure what's exactly changed but I do not think Alan Hardy would accept he was wrong by re-appointing him.

Also anyone who wants Steve Chettle, please remind yourself what generally happens with inexperienced managers?

Both these two are not prime candidates and there is far better available at the moment.

I can't imagine nolan would come back anyway, never mind hardy even taking him back because that would be like him being wrong about sacking him before.

Michael Appleton has supposedly ruled himself out right? Paul Hurst would be a good punt if Alan Hardy can convince him to come.

He's got the right level of experience.

I definetly believe we need experience

 

I think the word "experienced" could be applied to most managers who have had a few jobs, like those who get sacked by every club. They're experienced with getting the sack! ????

I think Notts needs to find someone who has proven themselves at this level or the next/below. Someone who get a team playing well, sign a good squad and manage players. Tactics is important too.

@CliftonMagpie considering we've had rookie managers over the past couple of years, I think it's safe to say we need experienced manager. If they were terrible before they wouldn't be that experienced really as opposed to those who have experience in doing a good job. 

@upthepies I didn't want Nolan gone, I thought he could have turned it round. But we won't know for sure. It's all ifs and buts. What I think is give Chettle the job till December end then appoint new manager so he has a window to work in. 

@cheeky~k8 Nolan would come back based on what he said in the after sacking interview but Hardy might look 2 ways and try to rectify things or he will keep to his word and appoint new well known manager who has a history and great reputation in this league 

I am worried about the calibre of people declining the Notts job. Maybe some of the managerial candidates have taken the view that the squad isnt good enough and it could be career ending taking a club to relegation to the National League so its not worth the risk

 

@Bainbridge NCFC possibly but i don't think hardy wants to pay premium prices for a manager with more experience and better reputation.

@cheeky~k8 but he spent a lot on a rookie like Kewell.. 

Hardy didn’t have the guts to give Kewell the time he needed.

He may have done, i don't know the exact pricing details. I think he needs to look at the right market. If hes talking about experience and reputation, they are likely to want more than his budget allows.
