About his Coventry roots, very good read, comes across as a decent bloke. http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/carlisle-united/latest/1.997634

Too long to quote it all here.

Yeah i just read that a min ago, seems like a decent bloke. The bit where he says "I won’t have any sentiment if we beat them, because I’m desperate to win for Carlisle."

Yeah right, all of us as fans know you can never change the team you love. Especially considering hes been going to games since he was 4! I didnt start till i was in my teens and i could never will another team to beat city. Guess its a bit different considering its his job but still.

Comes across as a knob to me.

Then he always was a knob and definitely NOT a City supporter, despite what he says in that interview.

The stuff about Bell Green and Wood End is pure nonsense. I used to do exactly that same trip through Wood End to do the shopping and never ever had any trouble at all.

I used to live in the same road as him and we went to the same school. He either supported Man U or Liverpool.

I always thought it might have been because I wore a cravat.

No idea, but he was not a Cov fan. He used to hate the City.

Only used to live a few doors up from me. Arrogant little git he was back then.
