Notts County legend Les Bradd compares Jamie Fullarton to Jimmy Sirrel

Only time will tell, i guess. 

a Sirrel quote..."if you learn something from every game, there should come a time when you should never lose"

No disrespect to Les Bradd (who is a true gent) but I just hope we treat Jamie for who he is and avoid comparing him to others. I just find this adds annoyance to some, whilst others think it's offensive but really it's just an opinion (which I personally accept).

Yet I do think people forge their own names in football.

We'll never have another Jimmy, just like if Jamie goes onto to achieve success - he'll be in a class of his own. I really hope this comment isn't taken the wrong way.

Why does someone always need to announce that every single manager we have is "the next Jimmy Sirrel"? It's become like a rite of passage, or even the kiss of death. Makes me cringe.

Yes, he's Scottish, like millions of other people. And he wants the players to know their jobs and the team to be effective, but what manager doesn't? I wish JF all the best but his managerial career spans all of three matches, so comparisons with one of the game's legends are premature to say the least.

JF has a tough enough job without more pressure being lumped onto him. Let him be. Let him settle in. Let him find his feet. I'm not his biggest fan, but he has to be given a chance.
