    I don't feel sorry for any Premier League manager. I would change places with any of them in a heartbeat. (If I could last a season, I'd be made for life).

    I'm sure the money softens any blow, but I would still draw attention to the saying " never judge a man til you've walked a mile in his shoes".

    Having held a high pressure management job in a completely different industry, but one with similarly unrealistic expectations, where you are expected to achieve miracles with inadequate resources, getting the blame from everyone for everything that goes wrong, and being entirely dependent for results on a team over which you only ever have limited influence, I can say you need to be nuts to want to be a manager, in any walk of life.

    I'd judge that the man wouldn't want his shoes back after someone else had walked a mile in them.

    No, I'm sure that saying is a valid one. Just that, as I read it, my feet were hot from walking. ;)

    Christmas must be tough for referees - a lot of travelling in a short space of time to be done.


    Also - is there a rule that says linesmen MUST be in shorts and t-shirt? They must get so cold during a match over winter, with very little running to do, would have thought it could impair their ability to make accurate decisions if they're very cold?

    You actually do a LOT of running on the line. Linesmen will not get cold trust me.

    Unless it's a very one sided game and you're just stood there on the halfway line.

    In which case you will do 2 halves running in one half. :)

    Yes, but refs would be useful if the in-laws visit.

    Edit: a comma after the word "halves" and I get it? Be bloody cold in one of those halves.
