The Rooney Rule

[humanbeingincroydon]

Reading through this article, I got thinking about an issue that campaigners on either side have missed - there's a dearth of players from the Premier League era who have taken up management. For the sake of argument I'll use our squad from the 1994-5 season to illustrate this:
Erik Thorstvedt - Tufft IL (one season)
Dean Austin - Farnborough Town (one season)
Justin Edinburgh - Billaricay Town, Fisher Athletic, Grays Athletic, Rushden & Diamonds, Newport County
Gheorghe Popescu - N/A
Colin Calderwood - Northampton Town, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle (caretaker), Hibernian
Gary Mabbutt - N/A
Nick Barmby - Hull City (one season)
Ilie Dumitrescu - various clubs in Romania and Greece
Darren Anderton - N/A
Teddy Sheringham - N/A
Ronny Rosenthal - N/A
Jason Dozzell - Ipswich Wanders, Leiston Town
Ian Walker - Bishops Storford (one season)
Stuart Nethercott - Maldon Town, Ware
David Howells - N/A
Andy Turner - N/A
Jurgen Klinsmann - Germany, Bayern Munich, USA
Kevin Scott - N/A
Darren Caskey - N/A
Danny Hill - N/A
David Kerslake - Cardiff City (caretaker)
Judas - N/A
Paul Mahorn - N/A
John Hendry - N/A
Jason Cundy - N/A
Stephen Carr - N/A
Gerry McMahon - N/A
Chris Day - N/A

You're right HBIC. They don't need the money - or the stress.

Erik Thorstvedt has plenty of stress in his life trying to protect his daughter from some guy who follows her around everywhere...
