All of this before he became a manager.

If Courts had been appointed onto the coaching staff at Utd to learn his trade then you could maybe argue your comparison.
Agree the hard facts are he hasnt played senior football, hasnt managed in senior football (ok 1 game), hasnt been assistant in senior football, isnt supported by a senior direct of football and is a rather strange unusual and risk choice.

I think its fair anyone asking these questions. But we have to move on - im giving the management team my backing and i reckon most will. Does mean he rather has to hit the ground running or there will be carnage - which is another worry.

Good luck to the tank engine and tory boy.
