Every ex rag player that went into management has been an abject failure, Rooney, Neville, Keane to name three. I must have missed a couple more

If Gary Neville was an ‘abject failure’ at Valencia, then I’ll need to dig out my thesaurus to describe Ten Hag this season….comparing their records and with the relative amounts spent!Every ex rag player that went into management has been an abject failure, Rooney, Neville, Keane to name three.

Most of Pep’s former players and apprentices go on to have a decent managerial career, unfortunately the same can't be said about those who worked under "Fergie" and that's because the final piece of the puzzle, the missing ingredient is something they just can't get their hands on - The brown envelopes at half time. You need years of "experience" to build that kind of managerial skill.

Csrrick, Ince, Bruce, Charlton, both Nevilles. But to give a shred of credit they have dipped their toe in the shark-infested managerial waters. There's a legion of ex-Rags, the RDAHMeedya go-tos who haven't and yet spend most of their broadcasting time telling everyone else what was wrong with a team's performance. And often sneering at any win we accomplish.Every ex rag player that went into management has been an abject failure, Rooney, Neville, Keane to name three. I must have missed a couple more

Liam Rosenior was the key to Rooney doing well at Derby, which is proving to be the case with how he's doing now at Hull City
