Played for Cray Valley Paper Mills at Charlton Athletic in the FA cup on Sunday

According to Super Agent Jon Smith (one of the Co-Creators of the Premier League) as said that the  case of the115 charges against Manchester City needs to be Allowed as Much Time as  is needed for Arguments to be heard and Legal and Financial Ramifications Understood. Any Decision is Going to be Difficult to Come to.

Which comes Across to this writer that, if the Case Drags on and on People will lose interest in it and get Fed up hearing about it and the the Whole 115 charges will be Quietly Dropped and Swept under the Carpet. Or just to save Face City will probably get Deducted a Few Points and be Given a Hefty Fine, of a Couple of Million Pounds ( Which is Pea Nuts to their Present Owner) then Justice will Appear to have Been Done. They wont get Relegated Nor Will They have any of Their Titles Or Trophies Taken From Them. Because There Is One Rule For The Rich Premier League Clubs and Another for All Other Clubs.

What Do You Reckon?

Burton Albion sign Birmingham City's teenage midfielder Romelle Donovan and Chelsea's Ronnie Stutter on a season-long loan.

Donovan looked very lively. Perhaps, one for #Notts to look at

After a Humiliating 5th round Knock against fellow Brit Daniel Dubois, what is there left for Former World Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua? 

A.J. Suffered the fourth defeat of his career last Saturday and to me he looked Completely Washed Up, he seemed to offer Nothing against the Younger More Hungry Dubois. It seemed that there was only going to be one Winner in this Fight, from the Very First Round. Joshua did manage to land a couple of Good Punches during the Fight, But Dubois shook them off and moved in to Destroy the Poor looking Joshua.

Frank Warren Dubois Promotor wants a match with the other World Boxing Belts Holder Oleksandr Usyk. But first Usyk must face a Rematch with the Gypsy King Tyson Fury, which should be an interesting encounter. There was a Rumor that Fury had fallen off the Wagon again ( a reference that Fury may have gone back on the Drugs and Booze, which resulted to him being stripped of his license the first time) after his Defeat by Usyk a Fight most people thought he was clearly Winning, before he started getting Cocky and started Showboating and got caught by a Usyk  punch which Rocked him and turned the Fight's advantage to the Ukrainian. Is the Rumor True? Will the fight Happen? Time will tell.

A.J. as vowed to carry on Fighting Why? So he can become a Shuffling Journeyman who gets knocked from Pillar to Post when Promotors  use him as a Punch Bag stepping stone for their Promising up and coming Heavy Weight Fighters? Give it Up A.J.  while you've still got your health, millions in the Bank and Nothing to Prove. Enjoy your Retirement your time in the Lime Light as gone, there are other jobs you can do or Train to do, it may Not Be as exciting as Boxing, but it'll be a Damn Lot Safer and you can Enjoy time with your Family, it may be hard at First but you'll get over that.

Game 7 - The Gills (H)

Team: Gillingham

Date: 21/09/2024

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Stuart Maynard opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

England's Harry Kane became the highest scoring Englishman in the German Bundesliga when he he scored his 41st goal for Bayern Munich against Werder Breman. Despite his goal scoring record both in the Premier League and now Bundesliga, why are a lot of English fans still harping on about the Guy has never won any Silverware. He may not have won any team trophies (as yet) but he certainly has a good collection of Golden Boot Awards, and his Goal scoring prowess is certainly up there with the Best.

It appears to me that should any England Star in Football (or any sport for that matter) become famous for any reason, because  of their natural talent, the First thing the Main Stream Media (or Gutter Press) do is to set about knocking that Sports Star off the Pedestal they themselves put the Star on in the First Place. And this then trickles down to England fans who bombard Have Your Say comment sections with comments such has, Kane has never won anything with any Club he's played for. In Big Games he always goes missing. The same accusation was also pointed at Macca when he failed to score at Wembley, during Notts Playoff Final against Chesterfield. Let me remind those Fans Macca did score his Penalty, in the Shoot Out.

Harry Kane is his Country's All Time Top Scorer, in fact in one HYS section one Fan Wrote only One Man in recent times who has kept Kane Quiet, is Gareth Southgate!! Which is True, by playing him out of position and also playing him, while he's Not Fully Fit. Kane has proven play to his Strengths and he'll score Goals, something he still managed to do, even with Southgate's Poor Tactics.

Interestingly many Foreign Fans, Dutch, German, French and many others say they can not understand the Hate that comes Harry Kane's way, and that they would Love to have Kane in their National Side. And Kane Can Not Be Solely Blamed For England Not Winning Championship Finals, After All It Takes Eleven Team Members To Win A Match. So lets all Celebrate the success of an Englishman abroad and show our Pride as Harry continues to Cain Em in Germany.

Please choose your man of the match from my shortlist.

Can you describe why you choose your Notts player?

My shortlist is.

Jacob Bedeau: Matty Platt: Lewis Macari: David McGoldrick: Nick Tsaroulla: Jodi Jones: Dan Crowley 

Good morning all, it’s a bright start but a bit cool first thing. Another start to the week and it will be a busy one for us as we make least minute preparations for our holiday.

Today we’ve got to collect some euros we did a click and collect from Morrisons which is quite convenient. 

Then we’ll be sorting out our holiday clothes ready for the big day on Thursday.

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?
