That's not what I said, is it? Read it again. It's nowhere even close. What you have done there is what's called "reductio ad absurdum".

Not intelligent enough to be a successful manager.
Mate, I think you might have called that wrong and I'm apparently not alone.
He may have done some daft things in his time and be difficult to follow when he speaks but I'm far from convinced that he does have a decent IQ and I am bloody sure he has a great football brain: that's one reason that he was such an exceptional player.
Whether has the necessary management skills is another matter: you can be very intelligent and a shite manager in all walks of life.
Mind you, we've never quite seen eye-to-eye on Yaya.
Yeah. Barring some very specific exceptions, it's almost impossible to know who will have what it takes to be a good manager. Touré may or may not be good, but we won't know until we see it.Mate, I think you might have called that wrong and I'm apparently not alone.

As an example of an exception, those that knew the tactics mad Guardiola probably would have had a good idea of things with him as far as a future was concerned.

Don't know if that's deliberate or not but it could be read either way? Personally speaking I'd say not a hope in hell.I wouldn't put him down as a manager

Yeah because speaking 5 languages guarantees trophies...The guy speaks 5 languages fluently and you reckon he's not intelligent?

Good luck to him,but i don't think he's cut out for management.
I didn’t think Gerrard would have done anything in management when he announced it but he’s about to be the first Rangers manager in a decade to win the league.
I think someone like Kompany has a much better shout, out of our ex players (I know he’s in management already but I mean PL standard.)
I really can’t see Yaya succeeding, he’s always been childish and petulant to me but I’ll wait and see.

Who was the last brilliant player that made it as a manager? The last one I can think of is Giggs. Smashing it home and away
