For me it reinforces how grounded also confident and resolute MA is regarding his footballing beliefs. What I really like is that he totally understood the change of culture, direction and magnitude of the task in following DC/NC was going to be.....and took the job anyway. It takes somebody with an inner belief and calm resolution to walk into that fully knowing they are going to need to roll with some punches.
It's one thing following Fergie at Manure as anybody would take a tilt at a once in a lifetime opportunity of that nature. It's another test all together taking the risk of rehabilitating your career at a provincial lower league club off the back of sustained success under somebody else AND radically changing the model at revolutionary pace. Reassuringly it is quite clear that manager and board are in complete alignment which is why he ultimately took the job.
