All these pundits thinking they can actually run football clubs; as bad as managers like Capello and Wenger thinking they can do punditry.
It's almost as though it's two completely different jobs :homer:

He got the job cos of the ginger/asthma quota innit. Now they've got that out of the way they can employ a normal person next.Quote:

The question for him is, Do I actually want to be a football manager or not.

There's all kinds of excuses, of course there is, but the difference with someone like Steve Bruce there is that he actually wants to be a football manager; he understands that you just have to get on with it.Quote:
'I spoke to Ryan Giggs when he was leaving United. I told him, "Ryan, be careful. Once you are out there, you are not Ryan Giggs — Manchester United legend. It counts for nothing. Pick the wrong club, you're gone and everyone thinks you're a failure."
'My first club was Sheffield United. We were going to bring this player in, that player, start building something. First week, the chief executive told me we were struggling to pay the wages. I thought, "You can't do this to me, I was captain of Manchester United". But that's how it is.
