  1. @Robbie It would seem so, but at least it's been stated that Ferguson can still attend United Games. The Role that he has been Dismissed From was worth £2 million a year to him and many have voiced their concern regarding the ending of Ferguson's role. Saying No former Untied Player in a similar role could come anywhere near Ferguson's Legacy and Importance. It's been Stated the money which he earned in the Ambassador Role is a mere Drop in the Ocean compared to the £2 Billion United have paid on Transfer Fees attempting to get the Red Devils back to the Top of the Premiership since Ferguson's Retirement back in 2013. And the Majority Owners at the Club, the Glazier Family Did Not Begrudge Ferguson the Money he received, which would give the Impression he was worth the Cash he was Paid.
  2. @Robbie Then Again Maynard could Play Four At The Back, something a lot of Notts Fans have been wondering why that was Abandoned? Because McDonald hasn't played that much and his Fitness may come into Question, and he may make Mistakes that lead to the Opposition Scoring, something which will be picked up quickly by any Disgruntled Fans.
  3. A Quick up date on this Story or Alex Ferguson really, the part owner of Manchester United Jim Ratcliffe has been looking to cut the Club's Cost therefore Alex Ferguson has Now Lost His Position As Global Club Ambassador and Club Director. Which was costing the Club Millions of Pounds. In a Private Face to Face Ratcliffe told Ferguson of the Decision and the Meeting Ended Amicably.
  4. I'll Say This @Robbie IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.
  5. @Robbie It was this statement that made me write the Topic in the First Place, that Tuchel was in advanced Talks with the FA Simply because they can't get their number one Choice Pep. Interestingly enough the England Players seem to be on Lee Carsley's side and have Praised his efforts of trying to bring New Ideas to the fore, however it would seem the FA Doesn't want Carsley to do that and Media want what the FA Want hence the Flack he got after the Greece defeat. Who by the way are a side that are Footballing Minnows (according to the Football Press) compared to the Three Lions and yet and Yet have Won more Euro Titles than England Have. That's how Poor Greece are. Who can Blame Carsley from Not wanting the Abuse Stirred Up by the Media which will Eventually involve his Family you can Rely on that because that's how the British Gutter Press work. High praise for a week or so when you win a Match and then Abuse and name calling when you lose a Match for months on end. So Why Not be in Charge for the Six Matches he's been Allocated, then Simply fade back into the Relative Obscurity of Coaching the England U 21 Side.
  6. @liampie and @menzinho As I've stated before it appears Lee Carsley doesn't want the England Job. The Press seem to think he's talked himself out of the position by stating, he's been given six matches and that's all he's interested in. He as also stated that the Position is for a Coach who's won trophies, something he says he's still working on? Despite Winning a Trophy with the England Youth set up. Seems very Strange. Mind you after the Flak he got after Greece defeat he's probably thought he doesn't want that Sort of Hassel and he's quite content to Coach the England Youth. Team.
  7. It would seem that 82 year Old Sir Alex Ferguson is being sounded out about a Return to Old Trafford, for one more season should present Head Coach Erik Ten Hag be Dismissed from his position. Not Wishing to Sound Ageist I find this Highly Unlikely, the pressure of the Modern Game would take a Massive Strain on an 82 year old's health, both Physically and Mentally. So I would say NO Sir Alex, stay as you are and Enjoy your Retirement, and keep your Legacy in tact you have after all Nothing to Prove. Should Fergie Return to Old Trafford or Not?
  8. I'm Xenophobic if I Don't want a Foreign Coach or Mainly a German Coach in Charge of the England Team. OK. The fact of the Matter is I don't want a Foreign Coach in Charge of the England Team because it is my Belief that a Foreign Coach Not matter how Successful with Fully Embrace the Historical Footballing Heritage of the English Game. Both former Foreign Coaches who have been in charge of the English National Side, despite their success at Club level have failed in the England Job. Thomas Tuchel is German and I have pointed out how difficult a Job he will have should he take over the Reins of Leading England. Simply because History is Against him events that happened before he was Born shouldn't have an effect on his appointment, but it will be The First time England are Beaten under his Leadership all the Main Stream Media will Stir things up and References will be made to the Past Hostilities between our two Countries. Cast your mind back to the Headlines of the Gutter press of the 80's and 90's every time England and Germany Met in a Major Football Match. You Can Not Erase or Rewrite History. Xenophobia is also a Form of Racism. Let me Fully State I am Not Racist I have Supported every Player who has pulled on a Notts Shirt, No Matter his Skin Colour Ethnic Origin which God he follows or who he goes to Bed With, and I Will Continue to Do So, Even though I am a White Straight Male which at the Present Moment in time seems to be the Worst thing I can Possibly Be.
  9. What Utter and Total BULL S*** if people can't Blame it on Climate Change, or Donald Trump then it's Brexit's Fault. NO IT'S NOT. It's the FAULT of the English and Scottish F.A's instead of Encouraging BRITISH TALENT they continually rely on allowing the influence of Foreign Players Coaches, and Owners in their Top Leagues who Strangle the Up and Coming Talent of British Youngsters, who if they want to advance their Careers most will have to Go and play in Europe. Jordan Sancho and Jude Bellingham cases in point. Look at Sancho he was Ripping it up in Germany, then he joins Manchester Untied and their Dutch Head Coach and he he have a falling out instead of trying to Fix things with his player what does Ten Hag Do ? Throws a Wobbly and condemns Sancho to training on his own or with the United Youth Team. Very Grown Up Not. Another Foreign Coach who almost ruined an English Players Career Pep Guardiola, look what he did to Joe Hart Destroyed the Lad's Confidence, repeatedly loaned him out and Why? Because he struggled playing the Sweeper Keeper Role. Thankfully Joe went to Celtic and Ended his Career on a High Note. So it's NOT BREXIT. It's the Powers That Be in British Football.
  10. The Wife hasn't been very well lately. It Started the other night she was Coughing and Sneezing blowing her Nose. She says to me You need to get something from the Chemists. So I did. A Pair Of Ear Plugs.
  11. 1 Sirrel Square. This is a Legendry Property which Stands Alone in it's own Grounds. Built in the Scottish Baronial Style, this Amazing Dwelling was built up from literally nothing to become a Top Attraction in Nottinghamshire. 4 Pavis Plaza . Like the above Property, Pavis Plaza also carries a Great Legendry Status in Nottinghamshire, No expense was spared in moving the building from across the Trent to it's Present Location an outstanding sight particularly it's Massive Iron Studded Black & White Gates which Greets all visitors.
  12. @Robbie If I remember right all the way back in 1966 for the World Cup, the England Team only had 6 weeks together before the Finals Began, so further proof Alf Ramsey was a gifted Coach. Part of Ramsey's success was the fact he had an idea of the England Team he was going to put out for all the Matches, Group stages plus beyond, and I believe if it wasn't for the injury to Jimmy Greaves, Geoff Hurst wouldn't have got his chance in the starting line up. In fact when Greaves was declared fit, Ramsey still stuck with Hurst and the Rest as they say is History. Regarding your idea of a team selected from three teams, which teams would you choose? Because the problem is, most Premier League teams Nowadays are Dominated by Foreign Players and English Talent needs to move abroad to get games against Top Class Players. Kane Sancho and Bellingham play abroad, but for different teams, do you leave them out of the England Team? And can you imagine the Uproar in the Media if the England Head Coach did? Also if I remember correctly an England Manager picked an England team with either 5 or 7 Liverpool players in it, because England needed to Win an Important Qualifying Match to get to the World Cup Finals (during the 70's the Argentina tournament in 78 I think it was) but that failed, as the Three Lions either Lost or Drew the Match they needed to win. Harking back to the time of when Walter Winterbottom was England Manager, he didn't pick the England team, that was done by a Selection Committee, could that even be the Case Today? The Committee select the Squad Members then it's up to the Head Coach to turn them into a Team? Could that be why the FA Only select Yes Men? And Managers who go against this protocol are either never chosen i.e Brian Clough or gotten Rid of i.e Big Sam because both Men wanted to Manage England Their Way?
  13. This is the Up To Dated Version. The the Proper Teleprinter looked like an Old Type Writer which would print out Results as they came in, and the Presenter (usually David Coleman) Would stand next to with a Massive Microphone in his hand and Read out the Scores.
  14. I see Now Jodi's been side lined the opposition are after Dan Crowley. Yes something needs to Be Done? But Will It ? Don't Hold Your Breath!!
  15. @Robbie Reading your comment I'm in Full Agreement with you, but No Foreign Coach, no matter how successful he's been at Club Level will (as I've said) Not Embrace the English Footballing Heritage. The two Foreign Coaches the F.A have Appointed in the Past have proven that. That's why out of the Candidates mentioned Eddie Howe is (I Believe) the Right man for the Job. He would take the England team and Mold it into a Team and Not Let It Remain has a Bunch of Prima Donna Individuals, and I Don't think Howe would have his Favourites, just Players he'd think would to the job for an England TEAM. Maybe that's what Happened to Big Sam, maybe he wanted to run the England Team his way much to the F.A.'s Annoyance and that's why he was Set Up to take the Newspaper Sting which forced him to Resign.?
  16. It has been reported that Interim England Coach Lee Carsley doesn't want the England Job. And the Four Main Candidates are now:- Pep Guardiola Thomas Tuchel Graham Potter and Eddie Howe. And it seems German Tuchel is into Advanced Talks to take over the role vacated by Gareth Southgate after his resignation after the Three Lions failure to win the 2024 Euro's Final. Really? A German becoming the Head Coach of England's National Side? Please Say It Ain't So, this Surely must be a Joke ? Just Paper Talk? Can you Imagine the Controversy this will Stir Up if Tuchel is Appointed? Or Doesn't the FA Remember the History between the Two Countries. Do they honestly think England Fans will Follow a German Head Coach? Social Media Platforms will Explode and Even the Main Stream Media (you would hope) would Condemn Such an Appointment. Of the remaining three Candidates. Potter hasn't had Enough Head Coaching Experience. Pep would charge the Earth and Still wouldn't Embrace English Footballing Heritage. So that just leaves Eddie Howe. And he in My Opinion is the Right Man For The Job. Because he as Managed in the Lower League and Performed Miracles at Bournemouth taking them to the Premiership on a Shoe String Players Budget (compared to other Premiership Sides) and kept them in the Top Division for Five Seasons. And I am Convinced he could get the Best out of England Top Players.
  17. @Robbie Yes Absolutely but will that fit into the Notts "Method" of Play? I think it's time there were two Strikers Up Front, the one Glaring problem I see is the fact that I don't think Didzy has a full 90+ minutes in him anymore. He certainly can come off the Bench and make an Impact as a Substitute as he's proven today. From the after match chat it as shown that Jatta has a Huge Respect for Didzy and if they did start a few games up front together then they could well form a Good Partnership. But from 60 minutes McGoldrick may begin to tire, and if their partnership hasn't Produced the Desired effect, then SM maybe tempted to keep Didzy on the Pitch longer and this may open up a higher chance of him getting injured or suffering Fatigue and not allowing him time to recover, for the next match. This is where Cedwyn Scott could come in. Play Jatta as the number one Striker with Didzy in his current attacking midfield role, then on the 60 minute mark, replace McGoldrick with Scott, but play Ced's along side Jatta as a Striker which would force the opposition into changing their game plan to cope with Notts new double Threat. I believe Notts have more than enough cover in midfield to cope with such a Set Up. The thing is would SM be prepared to try out such an experiment to see if it would work?
  18. It's the Play off Final at Wembley All Over Again. The Magpies twice behind only to drag it back to Level Terms. Pity there was No Penalty Shoot Out, Notts might have come back with all Three Points. Never mind I'm more than Happy with the Point and reading the updates with a little bit more Luck Notts could have won. Jatta's there again scoring with a Powerful Header a Real Center Forwards Goal. If he carries on like this Notts are going to have to fend off other Clubs interest during the January Transfer Window like they did last season with Macca. Watching the Clips on here after Didzy's goal the Camera Focused on Stuart Maynard and lip reading him, he said I can't Believe it. Onwards and Upwards C.O.Y.P
  19. There was a little Polar Bear Cub and a Grey Seal Pup playing on the sea ice. They're having a Grand Old Time swimming, chasing each other laughing and shouting you know the way Kids Do. When suddenly the Polar Bear Cub's Mum turns up. Oi Nanuk she shouts, how many times have I Told You? Stop Playing With Your Food.
  20. You know what, I'm Sick To Death of hearing about how English Teams now play the Continental Way. No Offence @Robbie. But Bloody Hell the English Invented the Game. Now English coaches fall into line and play the Continental way which goes to show how Poor English coaches have become if they haven't got the sense courage or knowhow how to play the English Game. That's the biggest problem there are two many Foreign Players Coaches and Owners ( not all Owners) who have ruined the English game. And how and why Money, that's the only reason . Does anyone on here actually believe Pep Guardiola would have had the same success he's had at Manchester City if he hadn't been bankrolled by city's Arab owners? No as I've said before Pep has never struggled at any club he's coached because he's only ever gone to a rich club so he can play around with his style of football until he gets it right and because he's won trophies then all and sundry have adopted his style, the thing is a vast majority of clubs don't have the type of money, he's been Given so despite playing Pep Ball they're getting Nowhere. Case in point so far this season West Ham. No Wonder over the years Fans have said Man City have bought the trophies they've won and it's True. It's the same in Scotland the two richest Clubs Celtic & Rangers, which teams win the SPL or Scottish Cups Celtic or Rangers. But once they come up against Rich Foreign Clubs in European Competition, what Happens? They usually get Thumped and Knocked out in the Early Stages. Returning back to Notts if things don't change I can see Cedwyn Scott being Loaned Out come January and asking to be Released from his Contract at the End of the Season. Because he's just going to get Fed Up with playing out of Position and his Confidence is just going to go down and down, plus No one knows how this affect's his home life or Mental Health. RANT OVER.
  21. @Robbie Thankyou glad you liked the Topic. I believe you're right regarding Didzy he's taken to the Role of Attacking Midfielder like a Duck to Water Scott not so much, I think he's trying but it's just Not his Style and the thing is the more try's and the More he Fails the More he going to get Frustrated and the more his Confidence will Drop and before you know it he'll just find himself as a Regular Bench warmer or Not even a Match Day Squad Member, and once Notts injured players have returned he may find himself dropping down the Pecking order and even eventually may find himself like Junior sent out on Loan. Which in my Opinion would be a Huge Mistake, I am sure if SM Played the Guy in his correct Position the Goals would come, but as I've said previously Maynard seems to prefer Jatta to Scott to lead the Attack, but even Jatta Struggles when he plays up front on his own, and particularly now the Service Jodi used to provide as Gone , that is why I think two up Front would be better for Notts because two Strikers can play off each other and Create Chances for the Strike Partner. Most Successful Teams have at least Twin Strikers and in some cases Three, case in point Liverpool with Mo Salah Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
  22. @Robbie I will bow to your and Googles knowledge regarding Lee Hughes. But I can't help but think I read somewhere Lee Hughes Did start off as a Defender, maybe in his Youth Team Days? Then after his Goal scoring prowess he was switched to the Striker Role for which he is Better Known. Then again I might have got it all round my Neck, the Old Grey Matter isn't as Sharp as it Used To Be.
  23. I'm sure I'm Not the only Notts County Fan having Cause For Concern, regarding the form of Cedwyn Scott. He came to the Lane not long after the arrival of his Gateshead Team Mate Macaulay Langstaff and along with Macca a Bag Full of Goals. The Strange thing was the then Notts Head Coach Luke Williams swapped the Players positions around and for a time didn't even play them along side each other in Matches, but when they did play together Scott still played a Striker's Role. in fact during the Season in the National League I believe Scotts Strike Rate was even better per games played than Langstaff's (please advise me if I'm wrong). The two Most Stand Out Memories (for me anyway) regarding that Promotion Gaining Season was Ceds missing a Late Penalty at Wrexham, but scoring the Penalty at Wembley which took Notts back into the EFL, Real Boys Own Stuff. He seemed to be settling well into Life in League 2, when he suffered an injury which kept him out of the Notts side for months and certainly since his Return he seems to be Blighted by ill Luck and other niggling injuries, on Top of Which it seems that like Luke Williams, Stuart Maynard seems Hell Bent in Playing Ceds out of Position. So Questions need to be asked Did Cedwyn Scott come back too soon after his Injury? Should he have waited out last season and made a Fresh Start at the Start of this Season? And how is the Fact SM is playing Ceds Deeper, away from his Natural Position of Scoring Goals having an Impact on his Form? To Me it seems that Stuart Maynard is Preferring Jatta over Scott who is also Struggling to Adopt to the Position Maynard wants him to play within the Team, and I think our Head Coach is Wrong. To Me Ceds is an out and out Striker and SM should be playing him along side Jatta (or McGoldrick) up Front to try and make them into a Double Strike Force like Scott had with Langstaff at Gateshead and for a Time at the Lane. Thoughts?
  24. @Robbie Big Center Half's coming up for Corners and Free Kicks as always been a thing in Football's Past and in some cases it's worked while in others it hasn't. I always remember Big Jack Charlton when he played for either in Leeds or England, when either got a Corner Big Jack would walk up stand on the Goal Line, his presence was Not only a Goal Threat but also an Intimidation move by his Manager. The Big Men have also been used when a team is looking to score an important equalizer late in a Game. Matty Platt anyone? It can be a Good Tactic providing of course there is another player covering the Big Guy's absence at the back in case of a quick counter attack by the opposition while the Tall Center Half is still Up Field. Speaking of Defenders turning into Strikers, Didn't Lee Hughes start off as a Defender? Then scored a Hattrick in one game and Never Looked Back?
  25. With Didzy available for selection, I hope Maynard has the Courage to start both him and Jatta Up Front, Notts need to Develop a Strike Partnership, because either Jatta starting on his Own or Vice Versa, to be replaced with the other Striker after 60-70 minutes means the Magpies will get Nowhere. Even if either Didzy or Jatta is Replace around the 70 minute Mark put a young Academy Striker on, if Cedwyn Scott is unavailable. Play four at the back and Keep it Tight back there.
