    Managers

    As we approach the end of the season I took a look around the different divisions and looked at teams that have over achieved, I would prob put Derek Adams at Morcambe down as manager of the year from all 4 divisions, they started the season as hot favourites to go down and now they are in the playoff final, that is amazing, also Neil Crichley at Blackpool deserves a mention, goes to show you what a good manager can do with an average bunch of players much like what IB has done with Notts, who would you guys put in that list of teams that have over achieved?

    Michael Duff at Cheltenham and Mark Bonner at Cambridge must be up there. Bonner is another “head coach” and is only 35. Impressive.

    Yep, I’d add Matt Gray in our league, Michael Appleton in League 1, and Valerien Ismael in the Championship. I know it’s been an odd season, but there have been some great stories of underdogs doing well.

    To be fair I’ve long stopped having an opinion on whether someone is a good appointment, we’ve had a few who I thought would be good and turned out to be disastrous and vice versa. People with no reputation at all can come in and do a great job.

    If rumours are correct, Appleton was interviewed by Hardy and didn't want to come to us. That'd be back when Nolan left.
