But Mills, who would receive a substantial payoff were he to be sacked, has said he will not resign, despite his equivalents at Shrewsbury and Kidderminster - clubs with far lower expectations than Notts - both walking away recently.

"Football fans are the same all over the country," Mills told the NEP. "Quick to express their opinion when things are going badly, but you never hear from them when things are going well."
So, once again Mills does the one thing that football managers are NOT supposed to do, he has criticised the club's long-suffering support, and not for the first time.
After all, just when have things been going well since he took charge?
Mills is playing a dangerous game. Very few Football League managers have criticised the club's support so openly, and frequently, and kept their job for much longer.
All it is is another extreme example of the Notts County manager's sheer arrogance.
A long, hard, reality check is needed Mr Mills.
