Lol, like this Dave!

Good to see Amorim already talking about relegation!! I genuinely thought he would be decent at Utd, but seems like every new manager makes them even worse.

RichM His tactical intransigence and lack of in game management would be a concern. Putting Rashford on the bench while not using him when the game called out for it showed naivete.

alistair naivete.

Lol, is that Mancunian for naivety?

Smallman1 It’s French mate albeit without the accents. Your challenge has well and truly hit the skids. Delap gave your defenders a night they won’t forget in a hurry.

I like Delap, an old school bruiser who can play.

See Wazza’s lost his job after only 7 month down in Plymouth. Think it’s time for him to call it a day on his management dream.

AmorWRONG giving it the relegation chat is proper Hodgson territory.

Interested to see what they do in this window.

Amps He’s already said they can’t spend due to PSR, apparently.

What a shame.

Bring back Ole

And the Glazers.

And Pogba

Moyes is available.

ScottBailey Joining the lengthening list of great players who failed at management. Least he gave it a proper go.

@Mad_Cyril Three points for you at the weekend? Hit us on the counter? Smash and grab win? Start our blip? King makers in the league? Or something else?

How many world class players have also made it as great* managers?

I put the asterisk in there because there is always a debate about King Kenny, whether he was a great manager or simply inherited a great side and then built another one at Blackburn with endless funds.

I can think of:
Johan Cruyff (European Cup win with Barcelona)
Kenny Dalglish
Franz Beckenbauer
Zidane
Mario Zagallo
Diego Simeone
Pep Guardiola/Antonio Conte/Carlo Ancelotti/Didier Deschamps (were they truly great players in the class of the above? Debatable, although all won a lot of caps)
