Charlton - he had talks. Well, 2 months ago some (though a small minority) wanted him sacked! It's probably only in the last month or so that our overall performance has started to exceed the pre-season expectations (promotion) putting together a massive winning run to go top. They'll be a limited amount of jobs that became available in that time and an even smaller number that DC is suitable for. I still think Championship sides will look elsewhere and it's northern, big L1 clubs that are most likely to come in for him. Barnsley were also interested in the summer but he declined to talk to them - that’s when he got his new contract. Ah - makes sense and will also make did a less attractive (or more expensive) prospect. Luke Williams has been linked with the Oxford job.

Realistically which teams would take Challinor off us? Pompey and Oxford are the only ones that I think he would be tempted to join in L1. If he got offered a Championship job at a decent club then it’s a different story but I think we’re safe enough. (Hope this doesn’t come back to bite me). Oxford? Why would he go there? Ok they're doing well at the moment but they're no bigger than us & might even be homeless in a couple of seasons if they don't get the go ahead for a new ground.

Wealthy owners with plans to grow the club and build a new ground.

Wealthy owners with plans to grow the club and build a new ground. Planning to build an 18K stadium but struggling to find somewhere to build it due to opposition & it wouldn't be bigger than the planned redevelopment of E.P. Think they have to leave the Kassam by 2026? Their owners have an interesting background though having previously owned Inter Milan & DC United.

What are the people who own the ground planning to do with it if they move out?

They should never have left the Manor Ground, proper ace football ground, those who like their stadiums wrap around and symmetrical would have hated it

The council have agreed the site for the new stadium in principle. The owners are interesting blokes. I wrote about Asian debt markets for five years so I’m familiar with their background. They’ve got more money than our owner without a shadow of a doubt. Whether they’ve got the willingness to stick around is another question.

A smaller version of MK Dons as i see it.

No chance. Miles bigger club obviously, but likely to be relegated this season and hopefully they will be a league fixture next season. Plus they’re a bit (understatement?) of a basket case by all accounts under the current owner. Yeah good points, thought about the issues behind the scenes after I posted it. Another big issue that happens with managers and players regularly. Move to a religation threatened 2 divisions up from your present club and then next season play against them.

Selfishly, it would be good news for us that. Notts do have good players but Williams has definitley played a massive part in what they are as a team and they play with a clear identity. No guarentees a new man would carry it forward as successfully.

Yes it could derail them and hopefully if does go nicks a few of their players too But I kind of think way Williams sets up leaving so much space in behind would play into our hands

Big risk for Oxford Williams inherited a good team after poor record at Swindon. Only 70 games. Notts County are stumbling currently, flat track bullies. Barely play off standard.
