I've no idea how the clown show of some of these ex-England stars get these jobs. Clubs just attracted to the name?
Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Neville - All have made awful managers.
Gerrard is stinking the place out even in Saudi, wasn't he tipped to be the next Liverpool manager?I've no idea how the clown show of some of these ex-England stars get these jobs. Clubs just attracted to the name?

t. The others seem to have got jobs based on their names. Rooney has been terrible at all his clubs, Lampard didn't pull up tree's with Derby but somehow got the Chelsea and Everton job. Now unemployed which says alot.
Gerrard had to go to Saudi to get a job, and looks poor there as well.
Must be loads of great managers in the lower divisions crying out for jobs, that would be far more qualified but owners over look them.

'Prick' is a bit unnecessary IMO.I've no idea how the clown show of some of these ex-England stars get these jobs. Clubs just attracted to the name?

I thought he did OK at Derby, considering. Gerrard did very well at Rangers.
If anything, I think they move to top tier management too soon and should spend more time learning the craft in lower leagues. Difficult to refuse a PL side if they come calling though.
In part of Rooneys statement:
"Football is a results business - and I recognise they have not been at the level I wanted them to be. However, time is the most precious commodity a manager requires and I do not believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed".
Mr Rooney, you were the change that sent everything down the pan....

Gerrard winning one trophy out of a possible nine, in a two team league, isn't what I would describe as doing very well.I thought he did OK at Derby, considering. Gerrard did very well at Rangers.

Rooney was in discussions with his coaches on the touchline during a recent match.He sat there with a blank look on his face while his coaches did all the talking.He hasn't got a clue, it's the same with his after match interviews,comes across as more than a bit thick, he's not cut out to manage/coach

It was a very odd decision by Birmingham to appoint Rooney in the circumstances they did. It has backfired like everyone predicted.
It was ridiculous. I though Eustace was going a great job. He was until recently assistant coach at my club QPR and was well respected. He looked like he'd made the step up well.Oh well, owners getting drawn to big names.....seen it over and over at QPR with predictable s
tty results.

Yep. You can usually tell from the body language and expression on a manager's face as to whether the lights are on or not.Lampard was the same, and so 'is' ETH at Man Utd.

Look, I'm not claiming that he's Pep Guardiola's scouse cousin, but stopping Celtic's 9-championship run deserves some credit.

The odd top player will become a decent manager, but not many
Very true. Pep's the obvious example of someone who's enjoyed success at the highest level as both a player and a manager but he's very much the exception not the norm; Carlo Ancelotti and Kenny Dalglish are others who spring to mind but the list isn't a very long one!mickk said:
