Notts County have announced that Kevin Nolan has been sacked as head coach of the League Two outfit.
The Magpies have only taken one point from their first five matches of the 2018-19 League Two campaign, with that disappointing start leaving them bottom of the table.
Nolan has been relieved of his duties in the wake of Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Lincoln City, while assistant manager Richard Thomas has also left the club.

You don't get long in the modern game, especially if the club has chucked a load of money at it.

Now now, I wonder how long it will be before the Cowleys are mentioned as potential replacements....oh, I just have!!!... Talk about not giving a team the chance to "gel"....christ, it's getting ridiculous now, 4 games and it's "see ya later"...thank god the one thing we do us give our managers a fair crack of the whip and maybe the rolling 6 month contracts we give them.isn't a bad idea after all...

Agreed, we all like to see patience given to managers and avoid unrealistic demands for instant success, especially in the early stages of the season when you're perhaps trying to turn things around. But the obscene amount that some clubs (ie Notts C) throw at a new manager and set of players is so enormous that it really should show some kind of instant success, even if it's a couple of wins with perhaps a couple of stumbles along the way but obvious signs of it coming together. Notts just seem to be a shockingly bad mishmash of players employed on high wages.

But it could be argued that Notts County has more potential than Lincoln even with their Nottingham Forest neighbours. However, it will be a brave person (s) to give up a good job to go there.

Well, in hindsight I do agree with the sentiment that when you spend a lot of money on assets you should expect instant returns for your investment and, without back tracking, you only need to look down the road at Lincoln and on the opposite end of the spectrum is Scunthorpe who have cashed in on their valuable assets and replaced with poundworld players....and look what's happened there...

Maybe they'll go for the Yeovil manager who stuffed them the other week (which would be nicely disruptive for Yeovil heading into the next game)

In football you can never guarantee success , just put the odds in your favour. I don't know much about Notts C set up but I would imagine Nolan brought in players during the summer to fit in with a game plan he had for the season. Take that manager away, bring in a different one and those plans are instantly thrown out the window. Unless the new manager buys into the previous ones philosophy then you have a set of players who might not suit the new ones playing style.

Ex town defender Steve Chettle has been placed as one of the caretaker managers. Interesting that he was only appointed full time first team coach last week too.
With relegated players such as Kellett and Dennis from Chesterfield, the recruitment was all wrong. He was well respected as a captain on the field and had some ex colleagues playing for him last season such as Alan Smith and Shola Ameobi. With these now gone, he may not command the respect he did last season.

We signed Whitmore and I would have Kellett here in a heartbeat.
