......and Smith must score. 1,363 Posted December 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, TheDarkKnight said: He's not really. As a kid and as young adult, yes, he had anger management issues, but he's definitely mellowed in time. Whisper it, but human beings are able to evolve and change. That isn't to say that if a player stepped out of line they wouldn't be eating through a straw for a month. It would take a brave (or stupid) player to step out of line. Can you imagine Ferguson being the Manchester United manager as Ronaldo refused to be subbed on and then subsequently storming down the tunnel? Ronaldo would be hanging unconscious from a clothes hook in the dressing room. If that was Ferguson's more mellow response maybe his anger management issues have a way to go 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,092 Posted December 27, 2022 Remember when Tim Sherwood was a thing? The best new up and coming manager in existence and then he wasnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,092 Posted December 27, 2022 I always thought Roy Keane was a miserable negative bully who would fall on his a*se as a manager. Which he did. Though now, I realise he is actually quite funny, is a born winner and just has high standards. I doubt he'll go into management again but on paper I dont know why he couldnt do well in the right job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodlyOtsemobor 2,421 Posted December 27, 2022 John Herdman (provided he's open to club management) his Canada side played some lovely football and hunted down in packs! They just didn't have the bit of extra quality to make it count. Could get our lot looking miles better. Again though would he leave a national side for club football 🤷 who knows.
