I didn’t know much about Manning so I looked up his record.
He’s only managed two clubs, a Belgian side in their second tier for 30 games, and then MK Dons for 83 games?!
At MK Dons he had just two seasons, one where he finished in the playoffs then lost the semi-finals, and then got sacked the next season with his side doing awfully?
Look, he might be a massive success, as might literally any manager - Andy Whing, Robbie Fowler, Jermain Defoe, Sol Cambell, Craig Short and Chris Hackett all might be a success, you simply don’t know whether they would or not.
But to appoint him over some of the other names apparently in the frame means that he must have had a hell of an interview (or was really cheap?!)
I’ll support him fully, but I can’t say that I’m not disappointed, apprehensive or that I won’t have the same patience as I would with some of the other names mentioned…
