As you say, though, he strikes me as the type to learn from his mistakes

and at this level I think he's a very good manager - possibly the best in the division. I reckon we'll do very well next season, 7th this year or not, but there we are.

        Mowbray (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Feb 25, 12:41:08
