O/T:- Burchnall to Wolves

[ThaiPie]

Yeah, IB clearly has ability as a coach. This type of job suits him perfectly. He just doesn't have what it takes to be the main man.

Posters are making easy comments. Actually, IB left Notts and wasn't sacked, so presumably the owners were happy with him as the leader of the team.
He then took on something of a basket case job. and I think another manager has since left FGR.

Many managers, such as Brian Clough at Leeds, have quickly left a club, and then subsequently gone on to do great things.

I dont think there are too many people who will disagree that LW is a miles better leader than IB. And I think our owners would agree as well.

Agree, 100% about LW.

I was just pointing out that IB hasn't done anything too bad, and may go on to be successful in future leadership roles.

IB'S stock with Notts fans was always going to go down, after the way in which he left us, and also with him joining such a basket case club. He maybe needs those extra years as a coach, before he shows his true potential as a manager, much like LW.

Best of luck to him. He did a good job here IMO (got us into the playoffs, was never in doubt for me), but of course I agree LW is better.

I hope to see IB as manager of another team some day, hopefully not in a widowmaker of a job like his Forest Green stint.

In other news could artificial pitches be going out of fashion?

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry I have to disagree with you,

I sit gust to the right of the home dugout watching the last playoff game and watching IB who looked disinterested and did not say anything to the players as the game was in play.

To me and others it seemed that IB had the FGR job before the game stated I don't know if he had informed the brothers before the game or not.

A bit snooty of you Countygump?, let others have their opinion.

Completely agree , he was dealt a raw deal at FGR..!
All part of his learning curve.
