I’m not trying to tell you anything Sam. I asked people for suggestions of people who would realistically come to us. As you can see from the thread there wasn’t many realistic suggestions.

As for the over 100 applications, you do realise that you could apply for the job don’t you?! :roll:


You have no idea what is realistic and what is not. For someone who likes to deal in facts, whether someone is realistic or not sounds dangerously like your opinion to me.

Dan, I worked in wilford at the time amongst forest and County fans and it was common knowledge about Nolan, I do believe there was an actual thread on Notts County mad about him regullaly being thrown out of bars legless, besides all that he was a long ball no plan b manager, leagues below what we should aspiring too, still, everybody has an opinion I guess

Rumours you mean. Yet this supposed alcoholic who was meant to be out EVERY NIGHT getting pissed in bars somehow managed to dodge every single camera phone. Incredible eh?!

Has anyone seen photos of Mellis and Donohue out on tiles? Mellis was once a £1m transfer, much higher profile than Nolan.

Everyone has a camera, true. When I go out I'm more interested in having a good time rather than worrying whether Notts County's manager is in the same bar.

Jacob Mellis is not more high profile than Kevin Nolan :lol:

The above posts are excellent & well put & I agree with nearly everything in them. But what I would say is that JD hasn’t been as lucky with injuries like previous managers. Didn’t we have ten players injured at one point? Also the sending offs have also disrupted the squad, especially the best defence in the league last season. I’m not looking for excuses but you have to weigh it up from both sides & be fair with it.

Absolutely if it’s a full strength squad & he picks a defensive team against Morecambe/Stevenage etc then fair enough he deserves a hammering, but he’s been hammered for his teams when he’s had players out injured which any manager would struggle with & I don’t think that’s fair. Look how our season collapsed last year when Hayden White broke his leg at Colchester & Bobby got ruled out for the season. That was only two players. JD has had loads out injured for long periods of time.

Paul Cox had more out injured, a weaker squad, but it didn't stop the boo boys or the Radfords from sacking him.

When you’ve got tisdale about and you’re not speaking to him I find that remarkable

It’s like having a possible chance to drive a Mercedes but passing it up to stick with your robin reliant

With the greatest of respect on what grounds can you justify him being given any longer. ...although it looks like the Board is going to do exactly that against the views of the seemingly majority of fans !!

Tisdale has said he is having a rest from football for now so that's him ruled out.

I watched the Quest show this evening. I would take with a strong pinch of salt Tisdale saying he's having a rest from football. He did not say it in a convincing way in my opinion. Actually I thought there was a very strong hint in the last 60 seconds of the programme that he might be going to Orient.



Martin you and I must think alike because I got the same thought

I'm not actually sure about Jones. Stoke fans reckon he only has one style of play and won't change it for anyone. He can pick an argument in an empty room and anyone that falls out with him doesn't get anywhere near the team.

Yes he has a good record at Luton but he hasn't taken that to Stoke so why should it be any different here?.

We've recently got rid of a one system only man who fell out with some players and I'm not sure I want to welcome another thanks.

Tisdale would be the better fit for me.

Nigel Adkins, Phil Brown, Lee Clark, Darryl Clarke, Steve Cotterill, Shaun Derry, Wally Downes, Tim Flowers, Jimmy Hasselbaink, Paul Heckinbottom, Ian Holloway, Nathan Jones, Stuart McCall, Kevin Nolan, Steven Pressley, Neil Redfern, Russell Slade, Alan Stubbs, Paul Tilsdale, David Unsworth, Graham Westley,

It can be almost guaranteed that everyone of them would be interested in the job, or wanted for the job. You can also almost guarantee that is only scratching the surface of those that would apply.
