✅ Key idea:
Blood is thicker than water, but Harrogate coach Simon Weaver may expand that theory as his side prepare to visit one of League Two’s in-form sides in Notts County (15:00 GMT).
Having taken over in May 2009, the former Lincoln defender is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League and probably has the most secure job due to the fact that his father, Irving, owns the club.
Five successive league defeats for the fourth time during his 16-year tenure could test those family ties.
Just so you know, he’s never lost a six on a rebound.
“We don’t just do it as a hobby, we’re very keen to win football matches and the best way to do that is to be positive with the players, be honest but positive and make sure we stay united,” Weaver said.
Those who are worried might do well to look to their opponents on Saturday.
Martin Paterson was far from a popular choice when he was appointed as Notts County’s new coach in June, with his only previous experience being 12 defeats during a 20-game spell with Burton.
One point from his first three games this season has some Notts fans saying ‘I told you so’.
The ensuing sequence that has seen County take 13 points from their past six games may make those in Harrogate think twice about ousting their manager, and how tough it will be around the Christmas dinner table.
