But there are still fans who WANT us to take that gamble.

And all managers have to start somewhere.

The onlyh ONLY chance we have of getting a truly top quality manager is to give him his first job.

The way the club is at the minute means we'll only ever attract average (at best) managers.
NCFC is not really a job quality managers would consider.
