Lokloyal Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Good manager at Colvilles Darvel and now EK as he has delivered with all but in every case that is helped by having very large budgets to play with.Has a long way to go to match Tommy Sloan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I can't stand the public persona of the fella (to the point where I don't think he should even be mentioned in this forum anymore) it's hard to argue with the post above tbh. Note I say this post as the previous one mentioning Guardiola is just stupid. Still think there are more questions than answers about the guy though as all his clubs have been megabucks, or if rumours are to be listened to he invests in those clubs too. Case in point is a post on the EK thread of the LL section on here where an EK fan spoke about Keir Samson's energy but inability to take his chances recently. Apparently the club have a striker signing lined up. We all know Keir can score goals but instead of trying to coach the guy, the default is to sign someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the Pep Guardiola of non league football I think he is a good manager/football person and I personally have a lot of time for MK. That said at Darvel he only won the post covid league title when nearly all teams were holding back spending. He got promotion through default into the prem. Not sure that record matches that of Tuckers who has been successful over a 20 year period at Talbot never spending crazy money and always keeping a steady ship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fair comments but you'd expect the best manager with the best budget to have won a hell of a lot more than he has managed to. Looks like he'll win the LL this year and fair play if he does but if they don't then win through the playoffs it's a failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
