I have no reason to do so, but I believe Ruud will do alright at Leicester. He just gives me the vibe of someone that'll give most clubs a few solid years before he gets stale and moves on to the next task.

 

Lampard will be as mediocre as usual.

 

I think its the turtle neck.

I feel Lampard is better with younger players, which was shown at Derby and first Chelsea stint. Which means he has a ceiling, and/or it needs to be a specific club that has an ethos focussed on youth.

 

Not sure what Coventry have in that department, but feel he’ll do a reasonable job there.

I don’t think Van Nistelrooy will be much of a hit at all personally like,

 

He wasn’t great at PSV pretty average season up against a shite Ajax and knocked out of a CL Qualifier by a rancid Rangers team, not much in his work so far, seems pretty under qualified for it to me

I don't think it's really that bad of an appointment.  Did well at Derby, then ended up out of his depth at two of the most dysfunctional clubs in the Premier League.  I think he's a much better manager than the likes of Gerrard and Rooney.

 

Lampard actively, at least, appears to be wanting to become a manager and appears to be keeping up to date with tactics and visiting other clubs to learn from other managers. I put "appears" in italics because for all I know he could be like the pair you mentioned, Gerrard and Rooney, who doesn't even appear to be doing anything other than relying on getting gigs because they used to play footy themselves once upon a time - not caring that playing and managing are two completely different things :lol:

Fuck off Lampard got another job. :lol:


Am I underestimating myself? Should I be applying for these jobs?

 

 

Could work. Give it a dry run in Football Manager to be sure you are ready then give it a go.

Ability wise you're probably not underestimating yourself at all....being 'in' with the PFM crowd and those stupid enough to listen to them probably not so much

I have a theory that most strikers don’t make good managers as the game comes to them. CM’s CB’s on the other hand learn the game a lot more.

Depends - would you be brave enough to give Benson and Hedges a game?

Glad he's got a job, he seems like a decent sort. Don't think a former Man U legend is necessarily the right fit for a low profile PL club though.


Yeah, always had a soft spot for him after the entire Arsenal team were allowed to fight him with complete impunity after that penalty.

Do see why not - put together a michael owen style brouchure and see if you get any bites.

I went digging out of curiosity. None of the current PL managers, besides RVN, played as strikers. Two were keepers (Nuno and Lopetegui).


Seems the best examples of strikers-turned-manager are from a previous generation. SAF, Jupp Heynckes, Brian Clough, Cruyff (if you consider him a striker), Dalglish. (shamelessly sourced from Reddit).

Unai Emery must be under pressure now...

 

Yup. He's obviously taken that squad as far as he can. They should get someone else in to have a go.

They're being ironic to make fun of people calling for Eddie to be sacked.

8 games without a win. Performances have been bollocks. Their twitter fans are turning on him
