I've been in a wonderful job for three years and enjoyed my time at Ipswich immensely."The process caught me a little bit off guard but once it began it was really clear to me that there was one decision to be made. I'm ready to rock and roll."In the past three seasons Mousinho, McKenna, Schumacher and Davies have all led teams to promotion from League One in their first roles in joins Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo and Bromley manager Andy Woodman as the only managers in the top four tiers to have played professionally as a said his appointment as the Terriers boss is the culmination of over 10 years of work."To be successful in any walk of life it's work, there are no shortcuts or secret sauce."The work I have been doing has been ongoing for well over a decade now."Yes, I was at Manchester United as a player [from 2018 to 2022] but in reality that was a player-coach role."I spent more time in the office understanding, listening and learning to really top people, and that leads to me being in this seat today."

Bonnie Blue one of three high-profile names banned from Nottingham Forest stadium this season
THREE high-profile names were banned from Nottingham Forest's stadium this season - including Bonnie Blue. The City Ground witnessed a superb season as the East Midlanders launched a surprise Champions League challenge. 6 6 Ultimately, Nuno Espirito Santo's side fell just short of securing a spot at Europe's top table. Forest lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea on the final day of the season. But neither Bonnie Blue nor Gary Neville were able to see the conclusion of the campaign - due to their City Ground bans. Bonnie was slapped with a permanent stadium suspension by Forest in April after trying to enter the ground and pull off a viral stunt. But the adult content creator - who shot to fame by allegedly bedding 1,057 men in 24 hours - then sneaked into the Chelsea away end in disguise with a cap, wig and glasses. She said: "I am playing hide and seek with Nottingham Forest's security. The first security officer that finds me, gets to boink me." Bonnie was eventually found and escorted out - with footage circulating online capturing the moment. She then made a lewd gesture behind one of the security guards. Bonnie - real name Tia Billinger - previously said of her initial City Ground ban: "I recently went to a Nottingham Forest game. Well, I attempted to. "I put on my socials, 'Hey boys, I'm going to be at the game, I'd like to film with you afterwards.' "I turn up at the football game and the gate security was like, 'You are permanently banned from the ground.' "I thought when they asked me to go to the side, maybe they're upgrading my tickets, maybe they want to escort me to my seat, this is quite nice, it's a good service. "They asked to see my tickets, I showed them and they took them off me, saying, 'We're escorting you off the premises.' "Apparently they don't discriminate against sex workers but I was banned because I was a sex worker. "I was going to encourage them (the players), give them a good time. I also think if I'm entertaining the supporters it's less people drinking so I'm actually doing something good for their health." However, Bonnie was not the only person to miss the Chelsea game. That is because Forest rejected Sky Sports' media accreditation application for Neville. Who is Bonnie Blue? Born in May 1999, Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Billinger - grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre. She has two half-siblings - a sister and a brother - who have always remained out of the public eye. She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad. Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015. She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager. After school, she began working in recruitment. In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15. Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment. However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a 'cam girl' - crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world. She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week. But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together. She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there. She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her "niche" of sleeping with young male students - such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University's freshers week in September 2024. Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans. Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she's her daughter's PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie's events - as well as handing out condoms to young clients. In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event. The ex-Manchester United man was due to be on co-commentary at the City Ground for the crunch clash. However, Forest blocked Sky's plans - forcing them into a late reshuffle - because Neville had been critical of Evangelos Marinakis' on-pitch row with Santo following the 2-2 draw with Leicester. over the incident - and Forest retaliated with the shock suspension. That prompted a series of X-rated chants and even masks mocking Neville from Forest fans at the Chelsea game. But as well as Bonnie and Neville, Marinakis himself was banned from his own club's home stadium this season, too. The Greek businessman launched a furious outburst at the referees after a 1-0 defeat to Fulham in September as he had a meltdown in the tunnel and spat on the floor in a "disgusting display of contempt". And The FA's punishment was a five-match stadium ban - which included being barred from entering the City Ground for the home fixtures against Crystal Palace, West Ham and Newcastle. 6 6 6 6
