Dr_Pangloss Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Very few genuine world class players become good managers. Henry is a classic case of football coming naturally to him, yes he worked very hard, but he was already an elite level athlete with great technical ability, he worked at his finishing and positioning but was starting from a high bar at those things anyway. Players like this struggle with players who don't have both the same ability and motivation as they did in their primes and thus just cannot get through to them as they don't know how.

I think there is a element of truth to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into a club mid season is also often very hard. I also think it was a too big of a jump to go from a assistant job to a manager job in a top league. I like what Lampard did, a club with not that much expectation and he also got a pre season under his belt to get to know his staff and players. This often happens to promising managers. Look at Solskjaer at Cardiff, Garde with us. Jumping into struggling teams mid season is never easy. Not gone great for DS either Edited January 25, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Also didnt help that Henry was arrogantly spouting such crap that he was going to follow a Guardiola approach from Day 1. No ideas of his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country with incredible hypercapitalism in every aspect of the economy down to the nth degree, real dog eat dog business system. Then their sports leagues are this bizzarely communist 'draft' system where the shittest teams get the best players and nobody can lose as there's no relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
