Of course money helps to bring in quality players but it?s also the manager who can work miracles with bare resources and playing style.

Always loved Derek McInnes and Hearts are top of the league playing great football. Hearts could never match Celtic and Rangers for spend. Ever!

Never rated Darren Moore as a manager and Port Vale are in the relegation zone so no surprise there! The Bradford manager on the contrary his doing a brilliant job and they are just off the top spot having been promoted with Vale. Great football being played!

Hull, Stoke, Bristol and Millwall are playing good football and that?s down to their managers. I can?t even remember Coventry spending much pre season and their football is fast and quality even getting the best out of Asante. To think we used him as a lone striker!

Managers can shape a side on next to nothing. Some say get McInnes which I would love but that?s not going to happen! Any side with McInnes will play like he played - to try and win the game and cover every blade of grass!

Apart from a manager it?s fantastic recruitment! Even this year with dire finances we spent six million on Heggebo and Campbell which many would say was a waste of money when we don?t have any pace or creativity in midfield.
