He 's a Notts County person and I am delighted that he agreed to return for what I feel is an exciting period ahead for the club . 'The new management team 's immediate goal is clear , with survival in League One our short-term aim obviously , but work is already under way to ensure that we have the best possible squad available to make a real impression next season .
