That “something” makes is what makes you a good manager.

He is FORCED to be able to read the game several steps ahead (or his lack of pace or physique or skill gets caught out), he is forced to position well (or gets caught out), he is forced to arrange his defence well (or he gets caught out).

People like him KNOW who and who adds strength to the team, how and where a team might break down and what passages of play are responsible.

Players like Neville have to or else they will never survive. Yet those qualities would make a very good coach.

Hughes and Bruce are mediocre coaches so why are you dissing Neville for not being them them??

Those two players had a strong physique-based game, and their mediocre coaching is not surprising to me at all.

I think Vieira would be a good coach because as well as being physically imposing, he’s also very tactically sound. His physicality was a plus. It’s no mystery that Arsenal haven’t even been close to winning a title since he left.

Gary Neville? I can’t see it. I believe a manager has to be able to guide his players on how to win tough games. I don’t think Neville has that about him. If he didn’t happen to grow up in the Man United systesm, would he even be relevant in football? Sparky and Steve Bruce were real winners but Neville isn’t cut from the same cloth.

Well, Rooney got caught slippin’. So, was she hot? Like, I know the broad Ribery got caught up with was smokin’. If the boys got me a birthday gift built like that, I probably would have smashed it too. I think my wife might have given me a pass if it was a one time thing and I was up front about it.

Now, before you cocksuckers start judging me, ask yourself, honestly, would you walk away from that opportunity; that is, of course, not knowing that she was 17? Most of us can go an entire year without even seeing someone that hot, let alone meet her and have your way with her for the night.

Guardiola and Rijkaard were DMs and I said historically, understated CBs and “visionary” DMs make very good coaches. I also gave a reason why Bergkamp will make a good coach. That same reason applies to Cruyff.

Players like Shearer, Henry, Vieira, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Walcott historically make woeful coaches. Their physical skills bails them out of trouble.

On the other hand a player like Gary Neville would make an excellent manager. A limited player who has to constantly think, anticipate and position himself.

Same with someone like Fabregas. He would also make an excellent manager.

1. Dawson is out up to 8 weeks – Spurs starting CBs are now Gallas and Ledley King.

2. Wayne Rooney has been cheating on his wife with a £1K a night hooker.

1. He wins the CL

2. Arsenal are out of the top 4 for a few years and fans’ discontent grows too much

3. A new board takes over

I don’t see any of the above happening, so I would not be surprised if three years from now, he signs a new contract.

We should promote from within. Steve Bould has shown as much technical nous and a fundamental understanding of the club coupled with an understated personality. He has as much experience if not more, as Pep Guardiola did when he took over at Barca.

Plus, it should be solid Arsenal practise to progress long-serving players into the club’s hierarchy. Man U, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, Juve all do it extensively.

And it does make sense, if you play for a club for over a decade and you are a role model without an outsized ego, then you should progress seamlessly into the coaching staff (if the player wants that and has his badges!)

That is the kind of thing that builds and strengthens loyalty amongst the young players.
