Notts County fans are voicing their displeasure at reports that Harry Kewell is set to take over as manager of the struggling League Two club.
Notts and Crawley Town are in negotiations about Kewell joining the Magpies.
It is expected the Australian will be appointed as Kevin Nolan's replacement.
But County supporters are venting online their disappointment with the decision in large numbers.

Notts fan Lee Arkins tweeted: "No way please no. We need experience."
Much of the criticism has been aimed at club chairman and owner Alan Hardy.
And just remember Mr Hardy if you employ Harry Kewell and the gates do go down there will only be one man to blame and that will be you

First Kevin Nolan. Now they're after Harry Kewell. Seems they love a former pro with little managerial experience at Notts County!

If you sign harry kewell your an even bigger idiot than when you let Nolan go!

Hardy took control of Notts County in January 2017.
Please not Harry Kewell, 31.6% win rate, if you going to pay compensation then go for someone proven, most probably at a bigger cost but possibly worth it in the long run Gareth Ainsworth/Jon Coleman who may fancy a big challenge

The Mirror has reported that Crawley Town want £400,000 in compensation for Kewell and his assistant.
Right #notts @Official_NCFC as financial backers and supporters of this club I think we need to get a message to @Bigalanh5 . Simple question- If we appoint Harry Kewell would you be HAPPY? Not asking anything else. Would you be happy if we appoint Kewell?

Backed the decision to sack Nolan based on results since January. However if Harry Kewell is the replacement, then what was the point?!? #Notts
