<div style="text-align:center">I have a couple of people worth keeping. Nuciari (Gk Coach), Bovenzi and Blokar both fitness coaches and Marcolin - assistant. <br />
The rest I got rid off and got my own staff in.</div>

<h5><div style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline">Goalkeepers</span></strong></div></h5>
<br />
<span style="font-size:11pt"><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Boruc</strong> <img class="lazy" data-src="assets/icons/7star.png" alt="" /> is my first choice goalkeeper, at 31 he is at his peak so over the next few years I will see a decline in his stats. He is solid between the sticks, although not always seems perform for me (eccentricity 20).<br />
<strong>Neto</strong> and <strong>Manfredini</strong> are my back ups. <strong>Neto</strong> is 21 and has a big future with a potential rating of <img class="lazy" data-src="assets/icons/7star.png" alt="" /> - now he is suitable back up. <strong>Manfredini</strong> is one goalkeepers I will loan, he only has a <img class="lazy" data-src="assets/icons/4star.png" alt="" /> rating and doesn't develop much further than that.<br />
Overall <strong>Boruc</strong> will do a decent job for me for a few years, and then young <strong>Neto</strong> will replacement him.</div></span>

<br />
Early on I went for young, high potential, inexpensive players.  I pulled some foreign players and used my Croatia feeder team to do some building to success beyond measure.<br />
<br />
I joined Bristol City from Wrexham before the start of the 2015 season.  That first year was top of the Championship.
