Be wary of two year deals - Turner

There is little doubt young managers see Graham Turner as a shrewd operator who has been in the football business for many years.

One young manager is Darren Patterson who took over at Oxford United five months ago and, as he told the Oxford Mail, has taken advice from the Hereford United manager.

"I speak to a lot of other managers all the time, and when I spoke to Graham Turner at Hereford, I asked him what was the biggest mistake he made in his first few years - he said offering two-year deals, and he wouldn't do it again."
