I'm not sure if G is the answer either, really don't know. He did a great job for us, often with one arm tied behind his back (maybe both when Ragan was around!). He did the business at Sheffield too though on a big budget and with all the pressure that job entails. I'll say one thing though, his past players seem to respect him a lot and I get the impression would run through a brick wall for him - that's not a bad thing to have In your armoury as a coach, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a crack at another top job in this league. I'm not sure why he'd particularly want the Manchester job though, that baffles me?! As far as the Devils go, a lot depends on Lord I suppose. He's still only 31 and has at least 3-4 years playing at this level if he really wants to. He's a good enough player in my opinion to do that. Can he combine playing and coaching over that period of time? Not for me, as the standard of the league gets higher every year - that's going to be a lot for him to deal with and the expectation that comes with being part of the Devils set up now. So he retires from playing and coaches full time. If I was him, I'm not so sure if I'd want that - you're a long time retired and I'd rather play than coach! Maybe he could work with G, play for as long as he can and let G assume total control on game nights, so that he can concentrate on his own game?
