“By (the end of the season just finished), I’d been to watch Stockport a few times. We used to get some food, watch the match. I enjoyed the League Two atmosphere. I met Mark a few times and it just resonated with me, in a strange way.
“It was an eye-opener to see the drop (in salary). I want to make as much money as I can before I retire. But there are other factors: location, happiness, family. I had conversations with a few managers, in different leagues, and it was one of those times when you just have a gut feeling about something. My mate messaged me to ask where I was thinking and I said: ‘You know what? I do kinda fancy Stockport.’ It just felt right.”
