Let this be a warning

You could argue against that by saying Guardiola.

And Ancelotti for Milan

Capello? Who did he play for again?

I would say that on the whole, great players do no make great managers. There is the odd exception, but I think that if you were a gifted player, it can be hard to understand that the game 'isn't as easy' for others, and therefore difficult to manage them, whereas your average player as a manager can both appreciate more how hard the game is and also recognise top class players.

just cos it happened to Liverpool doesnt mean it will happen to us...
and remember, he did alright the first time he was there.
Stop panicking.....
Ryan Giggs, Solksjaer, could be future managers

Presume you mean Dalglish, why not have a look at how he did first time round as Liverpool manager.

wow Andys doing the rounds today

didn't kenny win a league title or 2 ....FA cup...
come on man.
granted he's dog poo now....
but dont believe we mirror the pool.

I'd rather have a David Moyes over any of those "Flavor of the Month" candidates. I want a manager who will retire from United, not a stepping-stone artist like Jose.

I think its an English thing. If you look at Spain and Italy, they are more likely to hire former players (greats and not so greats, too) than here. They just seem to do better than former players here. Maybe it has something to do with the coaching or the individuals. But one has to look at the truely world class players and how many have them went on to become great coaches?
