What a superb in depth interview. His loyalty (especially to PMG) and trust in those around him come to the fore and are credentials that WILL take Jimbo to the next level.
Brilliant find Mark.....
Just a sampler below....
What constitutes career progression for Jim Bentley?I want to manage at the top. If I could manage Everton, that’s my biggest ambition and dream in life. How do I get there? I continue to work hard and to try to learn. I take my courses, speak to people in the game and learn from my mistakes. The biggest thing is work hard and have belief in my own ability, which I have.
I have a great relationship with the club and it’s been a perfect grounding because I’ve been there so long, with a great relationship and no great expectation so I have served an apprenticeship.
If we do have a sticky patch, the fans aren’t calling for my head, they get behind me. Would I leave to go and join someone in the same division for a few extra hundred quid, but I have to move my family away? Probably not, no. Would I do it with another club with better facilities who would give me money for better players? Possibly, but it would have to be right and I would only go anywhere if I had the Chairman’s blessing.
