Whoever comes in has gotta be a choice that is spot on, yes both Gary Peters and Paul Simpson saved the club from the drop, but we need someone who can push the club on, grab the team by the balls and give the fans some much needed excitement. A cup run or two also wouldnt go amiss

With the exception of Fred our only successful managers have been player-managers so which old duffers are looking to get into management?

Hmmm, is there a link anywhere? And the Sunday Sport doesn't count I'm afraid. Even if he does leave County, I can't see him dropping back down to League Two after such a successful run. I hope to stand corrected though.

A cup run or two also wouldnt go amiss Simpson didn't save us from the drop. The important points in that regard were won by McMahon.

we still have a manager, but should the rumours be true, i would go for the one with this record:
Dartford Southern League Cup winner: 1988, 1989 Southern League Championship Match winner: 1988, 1989 Kent Senior Cup winner: 1987, 1988
Gillingham Football League Division Two Play-Off Final winner: 1999–00
Brighton & Hove Albion Football League Division Two winner: 2001–02
Hull City Football League Division Three runner-up: 2003–04 Football League One runner-up: 2004–05
Wycombe Wanderers Football League Two 3rd: 2008–09
Peter Taylor
failing that , sturrock then Paul Ince
i dont think cotterill is all that, he has had a good run with Sligo and Cheltenham but hasnt done much since(midtable at burnley,13 games at stoke and relegated with sunderland). at notts county he had everything laid on and half the job done.
no turner or gp, liked them but never go back
Mark cooper? ex peterboro? sacked by tamworth?did well at kettering? WHY?
Gannon looks a bit of a 1 hit wonder
Dave Hughes and Mike Jackson dont have enough experience yet imo

Wouldn't think Cotterill would even look at us.. Well he supposedly looked at us fairly often, early this year, when he apparently attended half a dozen of our games. Also, I was told 4 or 5 weeks ago, that he had spoken to RW, and that we did not contact him, HE contacted us.

I'd have Cotterill, i think any manager out of work would consider us.

Can't see the attraction of paul Sturrock - Ok he has had success at Plymouth but not recently and I do wonder about his ability to get rapport with players these days.
i really have no idea who Id' want who realistically would be available and want the job. Steve Cotterill is great manager but chances of him coming here are next to nil IMO.
To be frank, all appts are a risk and as we know no guarantee of success. we all thought PS was a good appt at the time!

I like monkee's summary, although for me the first five words ("we still have a manager") are the most important so the question's irrelevant until we need a new one.

According to other posts we have a manager who can't make any decisions. Not much of a manager it is time the Board came out and told the fans what is going on. If it is true that there is a clause in Simpson's contract regarding "playoffs" Saturday could be very tense afternoon at the Prostar unless Simpson, accepts the inevitable, resigns before then.

I'm not giving up hope. As we know there are reasons why he would want to leave Notts County. When he joined I remember reading that he accepted low wages to take the job on also. Mainly to ease Notts financial crisis.

If it is true that there is a clause in Simpson's contract regarding "playoffs" Saturday could be very tense afternoon at the Prostar unless Simpson, accepts the inevitable, resigns before then. Why? Should the board comment on messageboard rumours or run the club? The two are not the same. It seems clear that no decisions for next season can be made by the manager until the board makes its decision on him or, if it's dependent on the football outcome, the final results are in. Either way it's not going to be long. But it's unrealistic to expect Simpson to resign because he'd lose his contractual entitlements if he did. Who would do that? And please don't suggest he could sue for constructive dismissal or some such. Ask any good employment lawyer's advice and it would be not to count on that - very difficult to prove, very time consuming and very expensive.

GP's tenure (on a shoestring budget until latter stages of 08): Finished 21st 04/05 Finished 10th 05/06 Finished 7th 06/07 Left towards end of 07/08. Simmos: Finished 18th 07/08 Finished 7th 08/09 (with Holt's help, and a lot of GP talent) Finsihed...? (anywhere between 6th-13th given pts available - with his own team) Similar stats, but similar football? Similar feel about the Club? Similar feelings as a fan...!?

Boom! Boom!
An outsider to consider : Paul Brush
Sacked by Southend in March after working closely as assistant manager to Southends legendary boss Steve Tilson. Club got promoted to the Championship in that time and although they've come back down again now much of this has been due to the finances of the club.
Well liked by the fans and many seem to think he was sacked in the hope that Tilson would resign in protest because he's 'unsackable'.
He's now available and perhaps it's time for him to have a go at a number one position somewhere.

(anywhere between 6th-13th given pts available - with his own team) Similar stats, but similar football? Similar feel about the Club? Similar feelings as a fan...!? Heh, heh - very even-handed, do you work for the BBC? Simpson gets the 18th place 07/08 finish in his stats even though it was Peters in charge for 7 months of the season? "Left towards end of 07/08" - wonder why? Holt gets a slice of the managerial credit for 7th last season, Simpson having had nothing to do with his signing of course. How come GP's players get credit for doing well last season, but aren't responsible for doing badly the season before? Meanwhile Simpson gets the blame for this season, but no credit for last season. Who's to praise and who's to blame? Players or manager? Players and manager? I know everything seems better at a distance but do you really not remember some of the terrible football that Peters' teams sometimes played - when the midfield was packed with full backs but it didn't really matter because the ball always went over their heads anyway? Maybe some people enjoyed it, I never thought of that .....

If that is true that is really good news. What is your source then? If I named my source on here, it would quickly cease to be a source.

Irrespective of who becomes the new manager, I also feel that there now needs to be changes at the top too.
In theory either GT or GP may have the finances available to be able to do so.

I think Roland is more likely to still be here in August than Simpson.Can't see both going in the same summer but this may be the last summer that Roland is here.
