If Burch is a bit aloof or disrespectful, that's fine by me. I wouldn't want to go back to Ardley gushing praise on the opposition and respecting the point against teams so obviously much worse than us. I suppose the problem - if other clubs do genuinely have a problem with him - would be when it comes to transfer deals and loans or last games of the season. Sometimes you need other people to do you a favour.

Mace, as with Charlie, appears to have been a big fan of Ardley, as almost everybody who had personal interactions with our ex-manager seemed to be, so maybe fans assume people in the media don't like Burch because they are less inclined to defend him in the way they defended Ardley.
I don't believe Mace or Chalrie dislike Burch, they just don't have the same relationship with him as they did with Ardley.
