Well as you may or may not know, Jimbo came to County in January 2006 and kept us in the Football League as we were the lowest placed team to stay up in 2006, pundits wrote us off as relegation fodder for 2007 and it was hard for us to attract real talent to the club so we relied heavily on loan signings and Youth/Reserve players during this season we missed out on the play-offs on Goal Difference as well as breaking a British record for 9 consecutive wins without conceding a goal, and in 2008 he had groomed the young players from the previous season into top draw players who ultimately took us to League One, so it worked wonders for us, he also is a keen buisnessman in the loan market acquiring us some fantastic players on loan such as John Ruddy, Wayne Hennessey, Stephen Gleeson etc. and built us a good relationship with Wolverhampton Wanderers, he is a fantastic man, a great manager and a legend at County as a player and manager so we may be a bit biased towards him but he rarely made a bad signing.
