Arrogant and conceited are not necessarily drawbacks for a successful football manager.
See Ferguson, Clough, Wenger, Shankly and Alf Ramsey for evidence. Bill would probably add Laws to that sample.
Andy could do with a bit more of it then perhaps he would be a bit less sensitive. None of the above gave much of a toss what anyone else thought. Football fans moan about stuff. On odd occasions a few make valid points but mostly it’s just gripes that we don’t play silky football and win every game by at least 3 goals whatever our circumstances.
Any 3 or 4 from York, Rochdale, Forest Green, Carlisle and Southend will be looking for new managers in the summer when they don’t get promoted as Andy probably would have been had the Iron not been promoted last season.
No worries about relegation this season means he has done OK. Top ten means he has done reasonably well. Playoffs means he has done very well even if tht means limping into 7th place. Promotion and he’s a miracle worker and he will be looking at offers above our budget.
Hopefully once we get our customary beating by Solihull out of the way we can get back on the playoff train.
