A big welcome from me @Cedric & welcome to our community.

A very good & revealing interview by Luke Williams. I really enjoyed it. He talked about his career including his time at Swindon, Notts & Swansea. Some take aways from the interview. Luke really enjoyed his time at Notts. The owners were so supportive & everybody was pulling in the same direction when he was at Notts from the Club officials to the players. He talked about how Notts use the Football data & how it assisted him do do his job. He did talk about the fact that the data cannot help when it comes to a footballer's personality traits which can affect how a footballer performs. He talked about how Notts were high up there when it came to possession & getting crosses into the box, & they were very good at winning back possession very quickly which is very important. I picked up that Luke's experience at Swansea wasn't the same as when he was at Notts. An important point was that Luke wasn't fussy about what level he may return to football at, which means that he could very well come back to a club in league 2 in the future. It is clear that Luke had a good relationship with the Notts owners & talked warmly about them. Could we ever see Luke back at Meadow My take is never say never.

That’s a lovely poem @Chris

If he did think that being a number 2 was preferable, & incidentally, I don't think he would, he would prove to me that he was never the right man for the Notts job anyway, but I don't think he's a quilter, he's a can doer.

Pride of Nottingham is one of the few places I actually look forward to visiting. Even when work's been a bit mad, I still enjoy popping on and seeing what's new. It's like a warm cuppa after a long day. There are loads of good posters sharing their thoughts, and it keeps the place lively. It's like a proper natter down the pub, only with fewer crisps and more football. Some of the newer members have slotted in so well, you'd think they were part of the furniture. Full of common sense too, which is a rare treat online. If we can tempt the quiet readers to join in, get them hooked like it's EastEnders in the nineties, then we’re onto a winner. The rest will take care of itself. You’ve got nothing to feel bad about, @Chris. The whole thing’s built on your effort and vision.

Being devil's advocate, would Martin think that this squad is so unbalanced and lacking quality in certain areas, that being a #2 is preferable?

I wouldn’t say the appointment is a safe one. Wycombe are going through a tough spell and things don’t seem to be settling down. Even teams with strong squads like Rotherham United are finding it hard in League One. I don’t see much changing for Wycombe any time soon. Burton, Blackpool, Plymouth and Northampton all look like they’ll be near the bottom of the table. I expect them to be fighting to stay up.
