The very best manager around in the sixties was Bill Nicholson of Spurs and he won the FA Cup and the League title and only him managing the team and he was also the manager of the club and all that went on. Yep, you scoff but we have loads of coaches, loads of managers and an expensive training set up and yet?
We cannot play football and lucky to have a couple of chances on goal and NOW you experts on here...If you think this is progress from the days we won the world cup and never ever been in a final with billions spent on coaching, you are a better man than me, Gunga Din!
