Arise Sir Sol Campbell (P14)

I think he'll do very well - move up through the divisions, get into Europe, win the Premier League, the Champions League with Mac****il Real Madrid finally come calling.
Nah, 44 days.

Ha Ha, I didn't do a gap between 'Macc' and 'until' so it censored the c word.

It's been 7 years since he last kicked a ball. How long do these coaching badges take? It's also a bit weird that other than a brief stint as assistant coach with the Trinidad and Tobago team, he doesn't seem to have been involved in coaching at all in that time. Is he really expecting us to believe that he couldn't get a job coaching at youth level or as an assistant in that time? I think that certain top players think that because they were at the top of the game as a player, that's where they should start as a manager too. But let's be honest, top players who become top managers are the exception, not the rule. Of the current managers in the Premier League, only Pep, Chris Hughton, Mark Hughes, Claude Puel, Pochettino and Javi Gracia had what you might call distinguished playing careers (based entirely on whether they spent most of their careers playing for teams I've heard of). Most successful managers tend to have been fairly average footballers. It's almost as if being good at playing football and being good at managing a football team are two different skills, and not many people can be world class at both. It's also almost as if finishing your playing career as a multimillionaire as top footballers all do nowadays doesn't give you a huge amount of motivation to put in the hard graft to become a top manager.
