Just to clarify, despite the last couple of sentences, I have a lot of respect for Jim, we all know he has no money to play with, but he does have a good record of bringing players in, just look at Bennett and Collins, two players who have saved our season. To clarify, I would like Jim to stay, but next season he must be more positive both on and off the pitch. Let's go out to win every game, no more little old Morecambe, if Accrington did it why can't we.

Agreed.

To be fair Jim sounds more positive on his latest dvd interview on the club's twitter account. He talks about wanting to be in the play-offs rather than fighting relegation. Maybe he knows something about who we may be able to retain from the current squad.

On another subject with Wrexham failing to gain promotion , Bobby Grant may become available and could be another "Jim Bentley rehabilitation mission" ?

Bobby Grant of a few seasons ago would be a no brainer. However if you read Red Passion the Wrexham forum they don't have a good word to say about him and he hasn't really fired in the National League.No doubt he will be available shortly and Jim will probably have a good idea if there are any issues and whether he has enough to still do a job at our level nowadays.

Hardly a prolific goal scorer. But only 28 years old. If Jim felt he could be another one whose career he can save, then great, but it would be another case of Jim working wonders...

Imo JB could be more attacking, He could be better in the market (although this January he got it SPOT ON) ..but ultimately the bookies do not make us favorites for relegation for no reason. As others have already stated, this is a results business, The man is a legend...

Every player that signs for the club cites him as being the reason. The passion and the time he puts in is unquestionable.I am not saying he is faultless I am not saying he does not deserve challenging but I feel the fact his position is questioned actually embarrassing.

Bobby Grant isn't an out and out striker.

he's more like Mandeville, Oats, and can play in a variety of attacking roles, Ive seen him play twice, and he wins a lot of free kicks aswell as winding the opposition up, very talented!

If you really want to know what we have achieved season after season pay a quick visit to the Notts County FC forum. One of the founders of the Football League, a Championship standard stadium and a budget way in excess of ours. They've gone into Non League and their fans are devastated. Puts it into perspective what we've manged to achieve over the last few years, doesn't it?

In Jim we trust.

Just been reminiscing a bit on the forum and some of the posts in here are gold! “Who else would want the job?” stands out like a sore thumb! It turns out there are hundreds of unemployed league managers, with plenty happy to work under our constraints! Who would’ve thought it?!
