Interesting. General question: would you say there’s an obvious grooming ground for new managers - or head coaches, to be more accurate? Is it “the PE teacher” type - as dismissively described here and on Twitter - where it’s coaches who’ve studied the game but never played at a high level, and are working in academies/under 23s?

We seem to be long past the stage where old players were the first names to be bandied about by fans whenever a new manager was required.
