    No, I'd be shocking. I've neither managerial nor football experience. I wouldn't have a clue about training regimes, although I suppose I could employ a coach to do that. I wouldn't have a clue about tactics. The way we all discuss tactics you'd think its starts and stops with the formation, but there's much more to it than that. Who marks who, what to do at corners, throw ins, free kicks, what do do when we're in certain areas of the pitch, how to defend against certain formations. I'd have no idea. Again, I suppose I could employ a coach to do all that, but then why am I the manager and not him?

    Even if I could blag my way through all that with the help of a decent assistant and coach, and even if I could blunder my way through the process of signing and selling players, I'd still be doomed to failure because I'd get no respect from the players. I haven't been there and I haven't done it, so why should they listen to me? And they'd be right.

    Reckon I'd be pretty rubbish

    Managing the Barnsley London branch pool team was difficult enough, but I reckon I'd be far, far worse managing the Reds. In fact, I reckon I'd be nearly as bad as Nigel Spackman.

    Probably not. Like dealing with a bunch of unruly kids, more akin to a schoolteacher, and I certainly couldn't do that.

    I would love a go.

    Not that I claim i would be any good.

    You often here the managers stating once they're over that line their isn't much you can do....

    I'm convinced managers spend way too much time trying to combat the opposition that they simply forget to play to their own strengths.... and we've had plenty of that recently

    I'd be super crap. I've managerial experience but couldn't imagine the mechanics of managing rich coddled often not particularly intelligent people who could pay crap and get me sacked on a whim. Tactics/ fitness etc I have about as much idea as simon Davey so no chance.
