Grealish will come again at another club. Wouldn't surprise me that Villa might take him back, especially as they look like they will be back in the CL. With Grealish spending most of his time on the bench it demonstrates that City can afford to have a £100 million player on the sidelines, when at another PL club he would be a regular starter. The farming of the most expensive players by the richest clubs has to be prevented, whether it be by capping the total transfer amount clubs can pay out every season or a restriction on the number of most expensive players a club can have in the squad at any one time. Also, I think these rich clubs buy the best players from another club to make that club less competitive. I'm expecting that some of the Forest players will be farmed off in the same fashion in the close season. Gibbs-White has already had interest from City, Murillo from Liverpool & there's talk of Elanga having interest from Newcastle. The top six clubs can't have an outsider upsetting their champions league prospects. It just won't do

Hi & a big welcome from me @Glastoandy

A strong morning for the Notts bowlers. At Lunch Yorkshire 119 for 7

There has been much talk on social media about the possibility of Luke Williams returning as Notts County Head Coach. Would you be in favour of him returning, or would you prefer he didn't, or you simply don't know?

Sunderland have the potential of being a massive club if they make it to the PL. They have a large stadium which has the potential of being extended to around 65K, which they could regularly fill easily. The big six won't like it because it will be another club threatening their dominance & likewise their European revenue. In my opinion, parachute payments should be abolished. No team should be rewarded for being relegated. If a club cannot afford players wages after relegation, they can easily make money by selling those players & scaling the club down to fit it's new level. To even out the PL, there should be a transfer cap & wages cap. Also, clubs should be restricted in the total value of the players allowed in a squad. This would stop the richest clubs farming off the best players. These are all sensible ideas to make the PL & all the other leagues in the football pyramid competitive, but unfortunately these ideas will never come to fruition. Just look at the problems of putting a football regulator in place with a clear mandate & powers to oversee professional football in this Country. Just look at the way they keep kicking the decision on the 115 charges against Man City down the road. Delay after delay even though we were promised a decision before the end of the season.

@Fan of Big Tone Yes I do every day. I enjoy the game.

There were times this season when the Notts team were subject to lots of physicality from the opposition. Stuart Maynard complained about their opponents strong arm tactics on several occasions. He thought the Notts players were not getting enough protection from officials. There were times when the Notts team were bullied by the opposition. It happened in the playoff semi final & in other games too. Should the powers that be at Notts recruit a number of strong & physical players for Notts to become more of a bully on the pitch rather than the bullied?

Big shift in the weather this weekend.

For those who voted it was an overwhelming vote for Stuart to go.

Last of the fine weather today before we get the predicted rain early on Saturday morning. I won't be sorry, I'll welcome it. The garden needs it. Still digesting the sacking of Stuart Maynard & mulling over who may replace him. Notts just need to ensure that they replace Stuart with someone who has loads of league 2 experience & has a successful record too. It's going to be an exciting few weeks but the owners need to get it right.

End of the days play & two late wickets for Notts Q

Notts 228 all out.
