It's going to get worse

If there is any truth in him becoming an investor, isn't there a rule that you can't hold more than 10% shares in more than one club?

Yes, but don't think he owns any shares in Notts County. He maybe just a director.

Right now I'd settle for Pikachu.

What’s Martin Hodge doing exactly?

Martin Hodge will be leaving the club in the next few months. He gave notice to the club before the window opened that he intends to leave his position and is working out his notice period. His notice period is likely 3 or 6 months so based on that I would expect he will have left before the beginning of the next window - whether this will be communicated by the club, who knows?

Hodge has been extremely frustrated at the decisions made since Paul Watson's departure. Especially at Coleman and the owners who put people in place above Hodge (who had no previous experience) and given free reign to make the decisions in the transfer window.

Shambolic. Isn't Hodge the 1 guy behind the scenes with any experience of British football?

Thanks for that, sounds like he may be one of the people Luke referred to in his presser.

Ok so I've spent the day doing some research.

My gut says this is happening as it's too random to not have any legs to it.

From what I can gather you guys want to establish something similar to what is in place at Notts and although on the face of it we are a L2 club why copy us, in fact we are an incredibly.well run club who have taken huge strides in 5 years.


Our owners think over 10-15 years rather than 1 or 2 which can be a little frustrating at times but finally it feels like the club has a long term plan to go with long term ambition.

The club as you know use Football Radar a system used by betting companies to give them analysis. The club then also employ a team who just look for and scout for Notts using the data. I do wonder if we are going to do some sort of deal with you guys to allow you access to some or all of the data - I'd be surprised if it's all as it's seen as our secret weapon but everyone has a price and data is only 1 part of recruitment.

In the past few years we have made more money in transfers than the previous 20. Well over a million which is quite a lot for our level and we just turned down £750k plus for our main striker who we bought from the Danish leagues a year ago for £100kish

Montague has been with the brothers since they came to the UK in 2011, he has helped establish the company and also was the one who was tasked with finding a football club for the owners to buy. He is the link between them and the club

So for him to make the jump you guys must be offering him a big role and a lot of money. He must be on a fair bit at Notts.

Also for those who want LW out I can't see that happening in the coming months if this happens

Relax. Cannot get any worse.

Taken from the Notts forum, regarding the rumoured incoming sporting director, yes man whatever you want to call him.

First of all - thank you for the insight and to clarify what I'm about to say isn't aimed at you in any way.

But that just sounds like more of the same crap to me - a bunch of nerds with laptops masquerading as "scouts", instead of actually going out and watching games.

Because of course that's worked magnificently well for us over the past several years.

FML.

As a Notts fan, what was your style of play like under Williams.

I can't speak for other Swansea fans, I've found watching paint dry more entertaining.

You can speak for me. I’d rather watch my toenails growing.

If my Gran was still alive, I'd rather bath her every Saturday afternoon than buy a season ticket to watch that shite.

In fairness Nottingham Country fans are irrelevant.
Sold us a dud in Williams, but progressed Callum McGregor's transition into the best Celtic captain since Scottie Brown.
