NOTTS County have axed Keith Curle, after they lost 2-1 to League One bottom side Hartlepool United yesterday. The Magpies are in tenth place in League One, but Curle has still been relieved of his duties with immediate effect. He was told by chairman Ray Trew, who was at the game at Victoria Park, this morning. (Sunday February 3)
"Would love to see County move up. Let's hope they can bring in the right person, the fans deserve it."

"Can I just say a thank you to Keith Curle for the following achievements:
1) That run last season - not his fault Hughesy missed an absolute sitter in first five minutes against Bury – a win then could have put us in the play-offs and who knows...
2) Improving Judgy's game
3) Bringing in some quality players last summer – Deano, Lids, Bart, JCR. Shame the French duo went off the boil, and not his fault Enoch has a hernia on his wallet side.
4) The start this season, weren't we top of the league?
"Regular readers know my criticisms but surely he was badly let down by some of the players. Will they survive the new appointment and will he get the season moving again? KC's record last season needs improving on so he'll have to be up and running pdq..."

"My opinion of Mr Trew has really gone downhill. He takes none of the blame himself, and is just not a people person. Which is why he put his wife in as director – it was stated at the time she was put there to improve fan and Notts relations. You can see why, it seems beneath him to do that.
"Maybe it's Trew that's the problem. So what he saved the club, maybe that's as far as he can take it now."

"There are some good managers available at the moment: Gary Megson, Simon Grayson, Phil Brown, Owen Coyle, Nigel Adkins, George Burley, Steve Coppell (director of football, Crawley), Steve Cotterill (coach, QPR), Alan Curbishley, Roberto Di Matteo, Iain Dowie, Avram Grant, Mark Hughes, Paul Jewell, Roy Keane, David O'Leary, Nigel Worthington.
"I know some of these sound unrealistic but this just proves that there are some quality managers available right now. We don't want any more Inces or Shorts managing our club.
"Mr Trew and Mr Rodwell, please take your time and pick a suitable candidate for my beloved club."
