    Has any club got a manager who wasn't a footballer - that is a manager who has come from a completely different background.

    Ron Noades once managed Palace and Brentford, he thought he could do as good a job as the managers.

    Won manager of the year award at Brentford after promotion.

    Mourinho wasn't much of a footballer either was he. He played a bit, but he really wanted to become a coach. Got his big break by being the translator for Bobby Robson at Lisbon.

    Ron Atkinson played over 500 games for Oxford. The majority in league football.

    hi all new poster here, long time reds fan and avid reader of BBS. Arsene Wenger trained as an economist as a young man, and the great Italian manager Arrigo Saachi (sp) never kicked a ball in anger in his life, and when asked if this was a disadvantage as a football manager replied "to be a good jockey - must you first be a horse?"
