Maybe, but they're thought of equally as much as Giggs at Man Yoo. Not a great show of faith for a future manager eh?
I'd say making someone assistant manager is a much greater show of faith than chasing them out of the club. Why do you think Chelsea are treating Terry so shabbily? Have they just got tired of his antics and troublemaking?
Stan: Going back to the Barca example. Look at who Barca had/have as players in a league where major managerial errors can be hidden by the quality at his disposal. Hardly been tested as a manager yet has he? Bayern aren't exactly a difficult prospect to manage either are they? Yes he was brand new with no experience but he is clearly the exception to the rule. I personally can't think of any other old club player going straight into the hot seat and producing the goods.
Come on, that's exactly the same scenario! Look what happened when he was given the job 20 years later! Completely tanked!
The suggestion was that it would never happen at clubs like United and Chelsea. The reality though is that there is precedent that it has happened at other big clubs. Just saying "you are stupid" to back up the insistence that it would never happen simply suggested that the poster in question couldn't support his own opinion. Pretty standard stuff from Queenie though. Rant first, rant again later, call someone a pikey or a nonce and wait for Blueman to like his post!
Why Terry and Giggs? Why not Terry and Gerrard? Or Terry and Noble Or Terry and Carragher? There has to be a reason why you specifically compared Terry and Giggs. What was the reason?
Most likely what? Most likely adulterers to become managers? You can't mean mostly likely ex-players as only one is an ex-player, the other is hoping to find another club having been dumped by his current club. What caused you to lump the two of them together?
Congratulations on dusting down the "that's you that is" reply! It's your top class banter that makes the Chelsea board the most Neanderthal and laughed at on the forum, a bit like your fanbase!
