England players as Managers

[Eggs]

.....top ones (Clough, Ramsey, Venables) appear from a by gone era, I suppose the influx of foreign managers hasn't helped the cause. I suggest the bottom line is top players don't necessarilly make top managers.

I suppose it could now be that Player go into management far to late (when they retire in their late 30's)
There are now a breed of manager who's done all his badges by 30 and is gaining experience in management rather than actually playing.

...I think a lot of management is down to player judgement and more specifically who you buy and sell. That mindset is not only in the remit of top players, it's probably more with folk below the top standard who live for the game and do nothing but watch it.
