Hopefully that is one prediction you will get right.

Guess he was right on this occasion. I suppose when it involves yourself  you are definitely in the know .😁👍

He did change the goalposts though.

Still got McLean, Hernandez and Sargent wrong, plus others.

The best one is the mate in corridor saw young midfielder sign. Which turned out to be several youth players, complete with publicised images that he claimed to be Colney despite the images being clearly Carrow Road. The final touch was after identifying it as Mundle-Smith and then later claiming he had said it was Myles.

Leave him alone, 😉 he’s back at school, probably being bullied for being a tool! He might use this forum as an escape!

You can start to see signs of his coaching style and identity. He definitely has his own style like Farke embedded into us.

however, what impressed me the most is his management. It’s been difficult behind the scenes. He’s made big calls and he has influenced the game with substitutions. 

Have we ever had a more rounded manager?

While it does look like he does have good man management skills, man management is part of a coach's job. He still doesn't have the final say on transfer proceedings and loans, so isn't a manager in the traditional sense. It therefore makes it difficult to compare to those before the SD model came about, seeing as we've only had four coaches in a sporting director setup thus far, but I must say I like the way he goes about things so far, but far too early to say much more than that in my view.
