Former players and managers - general discussion

By all accounts he is a good coach, and his work was well received at Liverpool. And fair play to him, he tried his hand at being a number one. On both occasions he failed (failure as a manager is a fact of life, as most will fail, but Lijnders failed quite quickly in both opportunities, and it is a matter of degrees).

In all likelihood he will find a gig coaching again, but more behind the scenes, not as the top man. No disgrace in that, and good luck to him.

Very droll :0) - Putting me to shame so I have edited the post

St Etienne. My favourite ever Liverpool game. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing that night. Still get goosebumps when I watch it on youtube.

See him occasionally around Formby. Had a stroke a couple of years ago…but seems ok.

There’s a couple of faces there where I am trying to place them and then it dawns on me.

We are all getting older, aren’t we?

If Hendo passes the test with the average Ajax fan, the grand debate over him as a footballer is finally over.

Meh. Joris is probably stoned.

Seeing this bloke’s name always reminds me of dark times…

I know some limited players become excellent managers.

Some don’t.

The field of football analytics was largely started by an American watching football and thinking there had to be a way to quantify how shit Charlie Adam’s tendency to shoot on sight made him.

Nah, his nickname was Parched.

Peter Crouch discussed it on his podcast a couple of years ago.
