AS I said at the start of this thread, I hoped it would end in tears, this hiring managers on the basis of past glories and the guff about Rooney's Birmingham which the ****s in the media always write. Many good coaches out there who deserve the jobs that the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerard ahve had handed to them on a plate, purely due to their history as players.
It’s the same throughout the business world (and footy is a business), there’s some invisible line below which reward if any has to be earned and above which reputation/ past glories/ who knows who is what matters
