It's nonsense, I agree. Still, someone will have a go; if it doesn't work, you fire them and move on.

How long do Premier League managers last anyway? On average, a couple of seasons (it must be even worse down the divisions). And that means you can try lots of different people. Managing doesn't need to be a meritocracy; failure is part of the game.

It would represent a huge halibut around the face of aspiring black and, or championship club managers.
It’s like offering the local manager of a community building society, a seat on the board of HSBC.
