Great Players do not make great managers

[Statto]

There are a few exeptions to this rule. Kenny dalglish perhaps?

Mark Hughes and Roy Keane look like they may go on to disprove that theory.

Of another great England team:

Gordon Banks- managed Telford United

George Cohen- managed Tonbridge and Fulham's youth team

Jack Charlton- Manager of the Year while getting Middlesbrough promoted, also got Sheffield Wednesday promoted, resigned as Newcastle boss, but achieved relative success with Republic of Ireland side

Bobby Moore- brief spell in charge of Southend

Ray Wilson- caretaker manager of Bradford for a few games

Nobby Stiles- managed Preston, Vancouver Whitecaps, sacked as WBA boss

Alan Ball- relegated as manager with Portsmouth, Stoke and Man City, nearly relegated with Colchester, Portsmouth again, Southampton and Exeter. But perhaps I'm being harsh, he did drag Pompey up to the top division once, and was mainly battling away for teams with financial difficulties.

Bobby Charlton achieved nowt of note with Preston

Martin Peters- sacked after Sheffield United were relegated to Fourth Division

Geoff Hurst- sacked as Chelsea manager

Roger Hunt- never managed, ran a haulage company on his retirement as a player

And what about a certain Alan Mullery, didn't he have a reasonable time managing a certain south coast club through from Div 3 to Div1.

Brian Clough wasn't exactly a shabby player, was he?

Surpised you all missed the greatest ex-player combo...

Attilio Lombardo and Tomas Brolin, didn't they do well!
