John Jenkinson - "No. Tactically very poor. He's not a winner. Poor club manager, poor international manager."

Gary Simpson - "The jury is still out for me. He made some good tactical decisions but left more suitable players back home."

Joyce Wrigglesworth - "Definitely. He is a brilliant manager and penalites are always unpredictable anyway."

Lee Cocker - "Had a great tournament but deciding to put those kids up for the penx was shocking IMO."

Pete Farrell - "Yes absolutely! A great role model and a man manager. He's done a fab job."

Liz Selby - "Of course!!! He's been amazing and set the bar very high."

Jan Wastell - "Absolutely, who would there be with his knowledge, personal attributes and integrity?"

Michelle Wood - "Yes he has taken us further than anyone else has in decades."

Sarah Wilkinson - "Plays too defensive for my liking. We got some young fast players that want to play but he won't let them."
