Back on topic...more bad news. Everton knocked back as far as Martinez is concerned. Favourites now seem to be Duncan Ferguson, Lampard or Rooney.
In fairness I wouldn't put Gary Neville into the top players definition!

Alloa Athletic's finest, Connor Sammon, got 9 caps........
You're comparing apples with pears. It doesn't work.
Agreeing with MA about Gary Neville, but the point is you can go back years - eg Nobby Stiles and Bobby Charlton - and there are plenty of great/highly successful footballers who were poor managers and vice versa eg...Jurgen Klopp.
If Everton really want Rooney his current lack of ‘qualification’ will be no obstacle. Fingers crossed...unless there’s more down to Rosenior than we’re actually led to believe.
Its a question of rules I guess and also of a standard amongst all the leagues, so that where managers go to work in another country they have a recognised qualification to avoid "cheap" foreign unqualified managers being appointed.
As for Rooney, well there are any number of qualified experienced managers and coaches who don't happen to be a former big name player who would have jumped at the chance to manage derby and arguably could ahve made as good if not abetter job than Rooney (I agree that under current circumstances he is doing an amazing job, but then just maybe the lack of pressure of expectation is working in his and the players favour?), last season however he was lucky not to get relegated and the football, tactics were dire.
But if the rules are there to increase the standard of caching, it isn't right or fair that someone with a "name" as a player gets an opportunity over someone with more experience and qualifications surely?
The point of qualifications, is to enable people to be able to undertake increasingly complicated jobs, the world has changed and well paid unskilled jobs are few and far between and the chances of getting a well paid job without the requisite qualifications are few and far between. I know several people who took their qualifications at night classes and developed their career that way, and free as well or low cost. So cost and working full time not a bar to those who wish to progress.
