    The Loughborough team included Tanni Grey-Thompson & Lawrie Sanchez. I wonder how many other football managers have graduated from university?

    Surely there must be more?

    Coppell was the first one I thought of, but I'm struggling with another.

    Steve Heighway always got mentioned re studying, however, I dont think he became a manager.

    Jay would be my choice as manager

    Definitely one of the nicest blokes it's ever been my pleasure to know and the only fan I know to use the word 'procrastinate' when shouting advice to a Barnsley manager!

    After a bit more research

    Ian Dowie has a masters in engineering, but he's no longer managing. Slaven Bilić has a law degree but he's never managed over here.

    I'd be the worst football manager the planet has ever known.

    Impressive research, mate

    Perhaps I shouldn't be so ignorant and small minded when making derogatory comments about a profession.

    You'd be one

    Of the most intelligent. You wouldn't have to put up with the kid sat behind us who insists on reading out the latest scores as they appear on the scoreboard, either.

    He does my head in. Every single thing he says and does gets on my nerves.

    Peterborough's winning
    Wolves are losing
    Palace are drawing.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

    Don't be mean

    He obviously thinks no one can read and he's helping us all out.
