I wasn't really comparing their situations, more their determination to stick to their convictions no matter the cost. From what I've heard of Simon Ferry if you put him in charge of THAT Morton team he'd have them trying to play the same way as he wants this Broomhill team to play.
Despite the comparison to a diddy like Shiels, it was actually meant in a more complimentary way towards him when it comes to the development of one of our young players. You'd much rather that than him go to a lowland league team that lump the balls down the channels for him to chase constantly.
