It would be a surprising choice for him: they don’t strike me as a strong and stable club, and he’s always been keen to do due diligence after getting his fingers burnt earlier in his career.

Would expect him to be looking at top half L1 clubs or struggling Championship sides if anything.

That would be a significant drop in ambition: Leicester City to a relegation battle in L2, with the risk of a drop through the old trap-door at the end of the season. Apparently he was at County for their FA Cup tie on Saturday.
The Shrewsbury job is now vacant, but Kevin Nolan seems to be favourite for that.

Lot of potential and maybe he'd get shares or similar. I remember them in the top division for a few years. Or maybe it's just the lure of Kane Hemmings.

I'd have thought mid table championship club for sure...
I’d be the most surprised man on this planet if he went there.
Mind you I never thought Brian Horton would be approached by Man City.

Notts County must be high up the table of basket case clubs: no less than 23 managerial appointments in the last 20 years, PLUS 10 periods of caretaker management in that time. Not to mention a few weird weeks of Sven-Goran E as "director of football".

By the way, if there is any truth in this story, then we ought to be on the phone to him straight away.

They were interested in the summer and also when they got rid of Nolan.
No surprises if they're going back in for a third time.

Can't say the scummers waste any time moving from the frying pan into the fire. Almost as quick as they get home after playing us!

For me going to Shrewsbury would be a backwards step aswell they massively overachieved last season & now in a position where you’d expect them to be after selling all there better players, a big league 1 club with ambition to go up (Sunderland, Barnsley, even Bradford if they weren’t in the position they currently are as they were expecting to be in the top 6) or a decent championship club should be his aim otherwise we should be going in for him if he’s looking to manage clubs like Shrewsbury & Notts county

Is Mapp going to be any better than the manager we have at the moment?
both had shaky starts.
Mapp is unproven at this level unlike KR.
Define 'unproven'.
In his League 1 campaign with us he guided us to 8th, reached a EFL Trophy final, navigated us to the fifth round of the FA Cup and bought and developed a player who was then sold for £2.5m. As first seasons go, that wasn't a bad one!

Long term I think so, Mapp was unproven at league 2 level but still managed to get us promoted in his 2nd season in charge & at this level he managed to get us within 4 points of the playoffs without any backing in January that season, if he’d of stayed & got the funds in the 2nd season in League 1 I would of backed us to finish in the top 6

1 season in div 1, he didn't get us in the playoffs, concentrated on the cups for the financial gain and a good CV.
Do you not think if Mapp put more effort into the league campaign we could of got to the playoff?
I remember some team selections in the league that had one eye on cup games.
I did say unproven in div 1.

And the way things are going, he will get us of it but unfortunately in the wrong direction.

The way things are going? You mean 6 league games undefeated? How do you work that out?
Or only 2 wins in 6, depending on how you choose to look at it
