Hide AdWhitbread is a fan of the manager’s manner when it comes to both praises and grumbles.
“If he’s not happy with something he’ll tell you. If he is happy with what you’ve done, he’ll be all over you.
“His management skills on a one to one basis with players are very, very good and he knows how to win championships.”
