When Is Enough, Enough?
I always think that football people like Warnock, Big Sam & Steve have something to give to a Football club if each of them want to give something. I think Warnock or Big Sam are good at coming into a struggling club to try to turn things around on a temporary basis. I always thought that Steve Bruce retired too early, but does a football manager really retire? Not sure about that. Also the fee that the likes of Sam & Neil can expect will also be a factor on whether they take a job or not. I also think that Neil & Sam have along with a few others, become Mr fixers, who comes in to a club to try to save a club from relegation. It's a win win scenario for them. If they fail, they still get paid, if they save the club, I'm sure there's a bonus penned in their somewhere. These old type of Managers who want to be sole in charge are becoming smaller & smaller. When these two guys do decide to retire, I don't think we will see their like again. The new way is to have a Head Coach who just deals with the team. The organisation of a club is managed by others. I think the day of the old type Manager & Mr Fixers will disappear into the sunset. -

When Is Enough, Enough?
Most players who remain fit and healthy will more or less Retire from the game in their mid 30's. However how long can a Manager carry on? Does he carry on for his Love of the Game? Does carry on because of his success, or Does He Carry on just for the Money? The appointment of Steve Bruce at the age 63 as the New Head Coach at Blackpool, lots of his critics will say the last for the Money, but interestingly, ( Yes the money is a motivation) but according to Bruce, he'd tried Retirement, and he didn't like it and a lot of Retirees feel the same. Awhile back I wrote a Piece entitled In Praise Of Dinosaurs (bet you'd forgotten) about Managers in their 60's and 70's who I felt could still do a job, particularly some like Neil Warnock, who's vast Experience I thought could help Stuart Maynard adapt to becoming a full time Head Coach. I think the idea was mainly Poo Pooed, so how long should it be, before a Manager will say Enough is Enough? Studying present Managers in their 60's it would seem Carlo Ancelotti is perhaps the most successful, winning the Champions League at 65. David Moyes also won a Trophy with West Ham while in his 60's an another successful 61 year old is Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson was still at the Top of the Management Game at 72. Speaking of Neil Warnock who at the Age of 75 is the elder statesman of Managers/Head Coaches on the active list he's still prepared to listen to offers from a Club, despite his age. However it would seem only Clubs in Dire Straights with the threat of Relegation hanging over their Heads, will approach likes of Neil Warnock. And perhaps the same can be said of his Fellow Ex- Notts County Manager Sam Allardyce who is 69. Of all the most successful Managers at 53 Pep is the baby of the bunch, so if he feels like it, he could still have another 10 years plus at the Top, the thing is will he want too? At Club level he's won just about everything there is on offer, how long before he turns round and utters the words Enough is Enough and retires from the Game? Jurgen Klopp seems to have had Enough and retired at the age of 57, perhaps Klopp may make a comeback as the German National Coach, is that all that's left for Pep? Success as the Head Coach of a National Side? Maybe England? So there's a few questions for my fellow PON Members to get their teeth into, so what do you think, when is it the Time for a Manager/Head Coach to call time on his Career?- 1

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Gills (H)
Notts team for the match against Gillingham today. No Jatta. On current form I think this team is our strongest side. Tsaroulla will probably be left wing back, Jones right wing back. -

Dan Crowley’s Call: Stay Grounded as Notts County Aim for Promotion
The same could be said about my team. We both have difficult games today and we, as fans, just have to put our faith in the managements and players and hope for the best. Whatever the results nothing will be finalised today and we'll all go again next week. Good luck Notts.- 1
