Ardley and IB both seem like genuinely nice guys - but we all know the cliche about what type of person is a winner. Maybe IB needs to develop a meaner streak - or unleash Doyler and tell him to be more like he was on the pitch than he appears to be in the dugout. Can’t believe he hasn’t been sent off once since becoming assistant manager,
I think Ardley was all but a broken man when he arrived, sacked by the club he had played and managed for all of his career. We just made sure of it.
