And here is the rub.
All of us in the 'Nigel Fan Club' recognise that Manning has been left a very good hand due to his predecessor's hard work.
If Manning had taken over from Holden, we would be bang in trouble.
The 'Fan Club' realises this.
So do the a***holes in charge. They just can't bear to acknowledge it.
Anyway, fantastic performance and result tonight. Credit to the players, and Manning for not trying to throw it away like he did at the weekend.
