Very well said.
First job as a Manager at League 2 play offlevel ? You'd have to be bloody good, odds are strongly against doing well, especially hard when you've spent the last 5+ years as "one of the lads"
Cooky knows the club and is a proven manager who plays a similar style of team to Coley so should be able to work with the players we've got.
Keep Leam around if he wants to stick around and let him learn his trade a bit more.
