Interesting read. Let's just hope Potter is walking his dog for a very long time to test his emotional intelligence. Sadly I think his Chelsea payoff may offset any stress

Pieces like this come sharply into focus and are especially sobering in light of the recent situation with Graham Thorpe and the link to his mental well being following the loss of his role with England after the 21/22 Ashes.

Agree, it's an interesting read. I have always found the life of the jobbing footballer, or manager in this case, more interesting than famous ones; it's quite brutal in Scotland if you want to manage up there. I had not really thought about this.

An excellent book on this topic is Living on the Volcano by Michael Calvin

When you consider how many managers are sacked after a short tenure it makes you think the interview process might be a waste if time!
