To be fair, as much as I dislike the bloke, from what I've seen of Macc since he took over they're improved massively so I don't think it is just a new manager bounce. I was at the game against Tranmere on NYD and they started that game in the old way they used to play, just lumping it forward like a lower-leage cliche, but then second half they came out and played some great football and you could tell Campbell had given them a proper game plan during the break and reminded them of what they'd been working on in training etc. In the end they came back from behind to get a well-earned draw that day.
The problem that Macc traditionally have is that they just don't have the money to give players big contracts so you have most of the team on short-term deals. The obvious issue with that is that at the end of the season, all the players who were half-decent just end up leaving on a free to a better club in the division or even step up a league, meaning that the club has to pretty much start from scratch every year or two and hope that a few of the new lads turn out to be decent. The same applies to the manager. When Incey took over he was a revalation, did even more impressive job than Campbell is doing and kept us up, but then was poached by MK Dons, along with a couple of our best players. If Campbell keeps Macc up then the same will happen to him no doubt and it'll be back to square one all over again and the cycle continues.
You live up around Macc?
