This is a 2-part question, but relevant, but will not name managers but you will probably know who they are.
Firstly the favourite to take over the England job is a well liked cockney, who's done a great job everywhere he's been, and given the chance would do a job for England as well. The question is though, will the FA take him on because we know what they're like. last time O'Neal was favourite but wasn't asked for a 2nd interview. In the past the FA got rid of a bloke who was doing a great job because he was tarnished with bungs etc. So knowing that the cockney geezer is also under the spotlight for dealings at South Coast clubs ....
Secondly I wonder why certain well known managers have never got back into football. We had 2 of them at Leeds who both did a great job, even though both have connections to the same club in London. Then theres the ex manager who did great with a south London club and got them into the prem when they had no right to be there, with the budget he had to work with. he then went onto an east london club in the prem and it took him ages to get his compensation from then. But even though he's always mentioned when a job comes up, never gets back. These 3 are classic cases and know theres more, But is something more sinister to do with past transfer dealings/bungs than what they can actually bring to the club.

Yes
Many managers never get back into the game as only 92 jobs.

You may want to look into a speed reading course if those paragraphs took you two minutes Rob.

Yes only 92 clubs and the clubs these ex managers would want to go to, reduce this number significantly. The one bloke with no connection to Leeds was touted as a future England manager and did great with the south London club, but even though he's always mentioned never gets looked at. hes even been mentioned by our fans and when hes been on Sky as a pundit, he was asked about the chance of coming to Leeds and he said he would look at it if it ever came up. So has he got a dodgy past?
