Sam Allardyce or Neil Warnock could do a job for us!

Seriously though, no. There are very few managers I'd want back anyway. A couple of years ago I might have said Russell Slade, but his time as Notts manager was so long ago and he's picked up so much experience since then he'd have been like a new appointment. His star has been on the wane recently though.

Can see the logic behind Martin Allen, but no. It's time to look to the future.

I am pleased that the next manager isn't a former one, I think this would have been a step backwards and a new manager breathes a fresh start for everyone [fans included].

It depends if he stays interested and focused, a good manager on his day but he's one of those that lasts only a few seasons before they get the chop. Still it's a risk worth taking, thankfully Neil Ardley seems a better long term solution to build a team around.

I thought Alan Hardy may have gone down the route of looking for a manager that would please the fans, an easy to do this would have been to appoint a former manager or ex player.

I am glad Shaun Derry, Martin Allen and Kevin Nolan didn't land the job.
