Mansfield boss David Flitcroft has made a bizarre comparison between Notts County's impatience and lack of stability with managers and the popular dating app Tinder.
The Magpies have already employed three different bosses after just four months of the current campaign with Neal Ardley now in charge at Meadow Lane following the dismissals of Kevin Nolan and Harry Kewell.
On Tinder, a mobile app launched in 2012, users can make a decision on a person they like the look of or not by swiping left and right, giving a swift solution to dating woes.
'Everyone wants things instantly now,' he told BBC Radio Nottingham. 'You can put a boxset on and watch it for 10 hours instead of waiting for a week for the next episode.
'You used to have to chat a bird up but now you can just swipe left or right on Tinder. It's the way life is. Nobody's got any patience anymore.
'There's no respect for building or time. People just want things now. When I was learning to drive I worked in a factory to save up for my car and for driving lessons but people get them given as Christmas presents now.
'The world has changed, life has changed and everyone wants things instantly and when they don't get it they chuck their toys out of the pram.'
Ardley, who was sacked by AFC Wimbledon on November 12, was appointed the new manager of Notts County last month.
He managed to keep AFC Wimbledon in the Football League on the final day of the 2012-13 season and faces a similar battle to help County, who are 23rd in League Two, avoid relegation.
'There are few clubs who could have tempted me into such a quick return to management following what was obviously an emotional departure from Wimbledon, a club I love dearly,' Ardley said.
'But the chance to manage Notts County is one I couldn't let pass and I will come back from my break fully refreshed and determined to drive us up the table.'

Tinder is ruining society. Women are only interested in the top tier of men now, and thanks to Tinder the rest of us have no chance.
I do go to the gym, but that won't increase my height to over 6ft or make me more visually attractive. Women simply have no need to settle for second best any more thanks to these sort of apps.

Sad to see a famous old club, founder member of the football league in this parlous state. This club also donated the kit to Juventus when that club was formed. Great heritage. Don't want it to die.
Did not know that.

In Mansfield you need to look no further than your own sister for a 'bird'.

This Tinder lark is bloody ridiculous, it's a right of passage to have to chat women up.

Haha Bury did the same to you. Your managerial carer has been like Tinder. Bury, Rochdale and Barnsley. And that's just a few clubs!
