trust me woof, he'll be a great manager. if you read through this, you'll see I've been singing his praises, basically because I follow the lower leagues over here closesly. It's some achievement for them to be top of the league considering they were only promoted last year under the guidance of Gary Johnson.

He's had successive promotions with Yeovil a few years back, looks to be set to do the same with Bristol City and he's managed at international level (lativa). Maybe tipping him as our manager is a little extreme, but I think he has it in him to be a top manager one day. In all honesty though, this isn't one of me wind ups, I'm being serious here and I think he's a really talented manager, who given the right club, would guide them to success.

and when he comes up to the BPL it will be a culture shock for him. if you really have to hire a local manager i rather have harry redknapp though loads of people hate his guts.
