I always used to think centre backs were likely to make the best managers, because they have the time to weigh up and read the game. Pellegrino, Wenger and Allardyce kind of make the argument, but Fergie, Shankly and Clough make it rubbish. Anyway I hope Page does well, because we expected a lot from him and we were probably one step too many in a long career journey. I'm sure he wanted to do more for us.

If Beattie had wanted there are lots of nice places to bring up a family within an easy commute of Accrington. I'm guessing saving them last season was the peak of his abilities with their resources - and he knew it.

There has to be a Sligo/Accrington agent or backer. Cook and Coleman is too much of a coincidence.
