Any way back to NA , for me his success at Solihull should only lead to the conclusion and confirm what a poor manager for US! He went out week after week employing his dreary version of retaining possession to win games or more importantly not to lose them. As far as I'm concerned IB's teams created more chances in 2 games than NA's did in half a season. Anyway back on track as far as I could see and read from their fans forum Solihull he started of in the same vein as he did us , winning but winning bad , ugly , boring football with limited chances. Somewhere along the line he seems to have elevated his own standards and changed them for pug ugly footy team into potential free flowing promotion winners. So therein begs the question , if he is such a good manager then why didn't he do it for us , either in his relegation battle , or his two promotion stints ? The records are there for us all to see , he failed on all accounts , so can we please stop this rose tinted spectacles malarkey that he was a good manager for Notts , He wasn't but he might just have turned into a good one at Solihull by using or stumbling onto a different approach, whichever it was he didn't use it at Notts, we were pug ugly !
