This is my favourite part;


But it's way better than it was.



An experienced, hard-working, successful manager with a support team developing and playing attractive football with a core of young players brought in by a recruitment team that keeps finding unpolished gems. What is there not to like?

Article is slightly incorrect... expectations are low... we all want Robins out when we lose and hate half the players (I joke of course) we’re no different to any other fanbase

Lovely stuff, not been many (positive) articles about us in the papers for years. Shows some are noticing that we’re going in the right direction.

I hope the Mirror print that story in one of their Arabic sister newspapers.

Miss the days of 'Scorer' in the cartoon section of the Mirror. Anyone else remember this?

Nice that all the hard work behind the club is being recognised and gives a positive image for once.

Wonder if there are any Barca players out there who read the Mirror who could be tempted?

Have to say for The Mirror, an excellent read. Seems the guy actually did some good research, makes a bloody change with some of the dross you read about us.

Bit weird given that we usually moan about the CET, but are suddenly gushing over a Trinity Mirror article with all the same problems (unreadable website, spelling errors, no original reporting) just because it's nice about us. But anyway. I promise it makes me happy too.

I guess it’s the content rather than the delivery people approve of. The Mirror (group) have always been a bit naff IMO, regardless of your political persuasion.

Sure... but for me, at least, just because it's a positive article doesn't make it a good one. I don't get why this article is supposedly so well-researched for example, anyone with access to our Wikipedia page could have written it.

You can also question whether we really deserve a glowing write-up about being the pride of the Midlands when we've got no stadium, one win in five, and most of our neighbours in a division above. But I really should just try to enjoy this.

Pretty complimentary about SISU too. Good relationship between MR the owners who let him manage, have backed him, and trust him. For the past three years I cannot fault SISU as owners. We can't live in the past, it's gone, but the future under MR and SISU looks much brighter.

Sounds like the type of article our friend who writes the TLS (I think that was the name) would write!
