    Now we’ve moved on, it’s time to reflect as purely a manager which he’s done well as could be expected.

    I like the way he’s brought in youth and I do think he’s improving all the time.

    This is a better showing of him than what we started with https://mobile.twitter.com/IanMitche...nt-articles%2F
    He got 64 caps, which puts him about 15th I think in the appearences lsit.

    That's more than the likes of Terry Yorath, Kevin Ratcliffe, Cliff Jones, Barry Horne, John Hartson, Danny Gabbidon, Leighton James, Dai Davies, Robbie Savage, John Charles, John Toshack....

    The lack of commitment accusation is a bit hollow I think. He pulled out of friendlies, so what? Who really cares about friendlies, didn't bother me then and wouldn't bother me now if Bale or Ramsey sat out all our friendlies to stay fresh. He was dogged by hamstring injuries as well, it wasn't all Fergie. Pretty sure he was there for the key qualifiers which is what matters.

    I'm pleased for him, he has had a lot of stick and to turn it around as he has done, in his 1st job as a manager, blooding so many youg players in the process, is pretty impressive. Let's see how he does in the Euros!

    Reducing the unimportant matches he played in may very well have contributed to his career being so very long.

    This!

    Its the risk he took with Moore that transformed our campaign. The last 4/5 games he haven't got much wrong. I wasn't happy when he was appointed but i'm so happy to be proven wrong.

    Praying Ramsey stays fit for the tournament now.
