He hasn't run away yet and David Stowell has joined us to talk a bit of latest news in the AFL.
Yeah, and it was really interesting listening to you guys chatting before because I think some people forget about, you know, what goes on behind the scenes with a manager when they're in the job, when they're at the job.
We're going to talk quite aptly now about a team we were just talking about, Preston North End.
Ryan, obviously an old club of yours and quite a similar situation to when you went to Preston North End yourself.
But on the other hand, I'd say Graeme Alexander deserved the opportunity to manage in the Championship.
And I read a comment of his or an interview of his, he's saying that he'd been waiting for this day, him and Chris Lucchetti.
I worked with Chris for a few months at Bury when he'd come in as the manager and I was his coach.
Didn't quite work out for him there, but the two of them have been fantastic hands.
Very pleased for a fellow manager to get an opportunity to manage his own type of club, if you like, because he's been there as a player.
