Long live the king.

Aye, and Im not sticking up for Pardew here tho. Its easy putting formations up on here and sharing ideas of how the team would play better football if the team did XYZ. We dont sit in on training sessions, we dont sit in the changing rooms before games , we dont sit in on class room sessions, we generally dont know about injuries first hand. we have no ideas of the problems players have and how coaches and managers have to deal with it. This is where management comes into it, juggling all the different problems.

If you have sat on the sidelines away from football and not been involved in it "in some form", where are you experiences going to come from? You may have all the right ideas and intentions but your experiences are zero. I dont think a football club would touch you.

Some might get picked on reputation alone but others might have great ideas on what they want to do with the team and how they want to drive it forward.

Rodgers career as a player was cut short due to an injury. If he wanted to continue in football, then it was as a coach or a manager. Rogers retired young to lock himself in his bedroom for 10 years and play Football Manager and learn to be a good manager. A career in the army was an option, but he didn't enjoy Call of Duty so wasn't great at shooting a gun. :lol:

Mourinho played for the team that his dad managed, then two others and then quit because he wanted to be a manager. The point being, they're lowly teams. There was the whole 'Arsene who?' thing because in terms of being players, they were complete outsiders. I thought at the time Arsenal brought Wenger in, he had tried his hand over in Japan but already had a reputation from France, so it wasn't "who is this dude" to the people ITK of football.

He still played the game and game from inside the game. Its not like he had a change of career. of manag For all those managers listed above. You could name plenty of managers who have achieved "success" who came through a playing career to a management career. Alex Ferguson, Bobby Robson, Kenny Dalgliesh, George Graham, Terry Venables, Pep Guadiola, Roberto Martinez, David Moyes Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew

They still played the game at fairly decent level. None of them except Sven did out of those listed and even then, he didn't really. He played in the Swedish lower tiers for 10 years. The rest didn't play any football at all. Im sure Wenger played at a "level"

They still played the game at fairly decent level.

I would say someone who has been involved with the game as a player for instance woudl have or could have worked with a number of managers and coaches over the length of their career where they coul dhave picked up some great experience. But they would have to have the personality, people skills and respect to use those experiences and ideas they have grown over the course of their career. People coming into the game such as Jose and doing a fantasic job is very rare. Dont rule out the experices a player might pick up over the course of a 15 year career.

Allardyce doing a Nazi salute after that goal.

He is currently twerking to himself in the mirror.

He is an instinctive poacher, gets on the end of things or picks up bits n pieces in the box. He isn't going to graft like Drogba. Not all players are the same.

Focus on the football.

Pathetic little nob.

The king does it again!

Where did the 6 minutes come from?

Total salesman patter. "aye mate good runnner, running much better than when I first bought it, pretty solid blah blah " Kicks the tyre "aye divvnt want to sell but have to"

Wow, you would think he would try and help a young fellow countryman out and avoid the porblems he had. What a selfish git.

I hate to say this but he will be flogged for top $ if he keeps it up.

Playing for a manager who doesn't like his players attacking.
