With the deeeeeepest respect, myk!!

Of course managers go past their sell by date as much as players do!! All human beings in all walks of life do, don't they?

In the non-league scene wouldn't you agree that Graham Allner went downhill in his last couple of seasons - or that Paul Fairclough is not quite the manager he was 6 or 7 years ago?

What of top-flight pros like Brian Clough who, by his own admission, hung on a season too long?

There's no insult to the man intended from me - he was the best non-league boss ever, imo - just a (sad) suspicion that maybe his best days are behind him.

It comes to us all, myk.
