Meticulous

Danny, along with brother Nicky, is a meticulous and methodical manager, who instils a clear pattern of playing in his teams. From training to recruitment, match preparation to fitness, nothing is left to chance and their commitment to the cause is unwavering. Whilst at Lincoln, they would often commute on a Monday to Sincil Bank from their Essex home, and work solid until the Saturday evening, before heading back for one day with their families. They are a new breed of manager, getting ahead not on old contacts but on new processes, hard work and an evolving skillbase. Indeed, when they went to Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final, they spent an hour with Arsene Wenger in his office, picking his brains on the nuances of football management. They have waited patiently for the right job to come up and this s the right job.
