with the greatest respect

even our better managers have generally failed to build on their success at NCFC (Saunders & O'Neil went on to better things; Bond, Brown, Stringer & Walker either failed or literally went nowhere)

But I can't think of any other side that has been a regular proving ground for successful managers.
