A breath of fresh air for manager interviews.

I remember Charlie Slater surprisingly giving him a unnecessary hard time after one defeat last season.

Although I know a few on here see him as arrogant, I viewed it as nothing more than confidence and belief in his own system which is a good thing in my eyes.
I'm 100% with you on this. The fact that other managers don't like him or his route into management is because they see him as a threat to the 'old school' (managerial merry go round) way of working which keeps them in work for years even if they are crap. If it doesn't work out for IB at Notts he will almost certainly show up at a club much higher up the pyramid and be a success at some point in the future. Hope he sticks around for a while...
