Hi, Notts fan here. I'd love to tell you that Ince was just a bad fit for our club, but even if you ignore the defeats at the end of his reign it's not the whole picture. Our entire squad appeared fragmented and there was much talk of dressing room unrest. As an example, he used to call everyone in to training at 9am, only to send a message telling them to come back at 3pm as he wouldn't be in till later. He lived a fair drive away and used to be very fond of the golf course.
He rarely gave the post match interviews, particularly if we'd played badly..he left that to his assistant. We were told all this by MKdons fans, but obviously as fans, you don't want to believe it. There was also a lot of talk of the proverbial tea cups being thrown..once literally over one of our opponents coaches, for which he was sent to the stands.
Most of our fans have no doubt that we would have been playing league 2 football that season, had we not got rid.
When he left, he, as usual, blamed the budget, which he always does, even though he said he could build a competitive team on it when he took the job. It is true however, that he lost Ben Davies in the January along with the loanees (his son Tom and Miller who is now at Carlisle). He had funds to replace them, but chose not to bring anyone else in stating that prices were inflated in January.
We did have a purple patch under him before Jan though, during the time that we played and drew to Man City....but I'm afraid in the eyes of most Notts fans he comes under one of the worst managers we've had.....and we've had a few!
OMG, it does look very bleak if we get Ince. Give it to Robins if its between these two, but to be honest i've lost faith in Fisher and Waggott to ever get a decision right, so until these two clowns go and we get someone with actual football knowledge in, then we're fucked whoever they choose

Your board did also sack mad dog last season and he is now sitting pretty with the Gills at the top of league 2, swings and roundabouts
We did, and most of our fans weren't happy, but since the sacking, some non footballing reasons have come to light that perhaps gave our chairman no choice.
Which are???
I won't go into them because it's still hearsay and I don't think it's necessary... it's not MA you are thinking of employing. I do believe though, that the last thing our chairman wanted was to sack another manager. We were top half of the table at the time, so something had gone off for this to happen. I still like MA. He created a real bond with supporters and the community, plus he's a real character.
In other words these 'rumours' are bullcrap
The more I hear about Ince the more I want Robins.
It's bad though isn't it. We are now all choosing a manager based on which one we dislike the least!
I don't see too much support for Paul Ince as manager. What are the main objections?
In other words these 'rumours' are bullcrap
because anyonr that gives themselves a nickname is a complete c-unit
To be fair to Robins, he wasn't at Barnsley at all last season i don't think.
I think Spit sums it up for me. He'll use us as a stop gap in the hope something better (bigger) turns up.
He wasn't one of the most reviled men in football for nothing![/QUOTE
To me if that happens then he must be doing a good job hear and I would take that at this moment in time.
