I have to hold my hands up and say that where Magilton is concerned I have been a bit blinkered.
I took to loathing him with a passion last season when we played Ipswich for a Sky game and they did us for 3-0 (I think it was). I found his post match comments smug and disresepectful to us, and if I could have reached into the telly and decked him there and then, I probably would have.
Now, with the man being touted as highly likely to get the job, I have been reading the many comments about him on this board and actually find that I have maybe been judging him a poor choice of manager purely based on that small episode (ie. the fact I couldn't stand the bloke because of it), and in reality he could be just what we need.......

Not a hoof-ball merchant
Knows the Championship well
His Ipswich side have been more or less safe in his time at the helm - in other words, he's able to hold his own in this league, consistently - so there is something to build on with the right squad (let's be honest we do have a good amount of creativity in our squad with all players fit)
A certain amount of infectious passion - you only need to listen to him to see that
Being a relative newcomer to management, he still has a lot to prove, rather than someone just after a winding down assignment
Other reasons I had in my head today, which I have now forgotten
If Magilton gets the job, I'll support him. After all, he will be our Magilton.
U Rrrrrrrrs!!!!!!!!!
