Especially the ones who worked under elite managers too. Just shows how hard it is to become a good manager and being a player doesn’t really help.
Just wanted to reassure you all that Rooney ain't ever managed Chelsea so the Granny shagging twat won't be our next manager
Tbf Levy has fired every other type of manager. A legendary player who’s a crap manager might just work for Spurs. Oh wait, we’ve had Glenn Hoddle already haven’t we
Says a lot that Roy Keant played under Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson, and so far his main contribution to coaching is to have Jack Grealish and Declan Rice frantically look for any English grandparents so they could get away from him
Think a lot of excellent players struggle to deal with players who are not as good as them (Hoddle, Rooney etc) or don't have the same mentality and drive (Lampard and keane). So they are terrible at man managing
IIRC at least one of our squad mentioned Hoddle would stomp off in a huff in training if one of the players showed him up Similar seemed to be the case at Blackburn, where dribbling past Graeme Souness would invariably get you clattered
To be fair to Rooney he went by mutual consent and ripped up his contract taking no compensation, I know he can afford to but it's still the decent thing to do.
IMHO managers should not take money, save for blatant unjust dismissal. Correspondingly a club cannot impose an NDA on such managers.
Rashford’s rejected three Saudi clubs who’ve offered him a £35m a year salary. Plonker. He’ll be at Everton in about 6 months.
