I see that Noel Blake's England under-19 team achieved their 5th straight victory since he took over with their 3-1 win over Turkey. I'm delighted to see a City stalwart doing so well and the feature on the official website seems to strike a justifiable note of satisfaction. Perhaps Noel wasn't really cut out to be a club manager but the abuse he has taken on this forum through the years is completely over the top. Is it really the case that he hadn't a clue? Or is it rather that most Exeweb pundits didn't have the nous to spot the value in a rough diamond?
