Both well articulated and valid points I’m sure some people will be a bit upset about it though because racism definitely doesn’t exist at all apparently

Is it any wonder Dion Dublin is managing homes under the hammer rather than Coventry city

Black or white I wonder why would anyone want to be a manager? It would be interesting to hear Dalian Atkinson's view as he was supposed to trawl the players coming to the end of the careers.

Back in the day a senior player could not retire on their football wages so either they went into coaching or they ran a pub.

Today these players do not need to work, there is plenty of media work for the photogenic and articulate so this comes back to why go into coaching?

Many players make a deal with their partner that once they finish playing they will focus on the family which often comes second e.g. moving clubs / countries.

A PL manager is even more time consuming and high profile than being a player as you have 25 time bombs waiting to go of.

Is it any wonder that many players think no thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation but for those not willing to shell out £20 for a big hard cover book it's available from Amazon at £5.99 or just £3.99 for Kindle and I have just bought and downloaded it to read on my forthcoming 4 hour flight

I'll be very surprised if he didn't have a few offers from the p*** industry!

I think Martin Roberts was a bit upset when they took Dublin on for HUTH as he was miffed that they were employing an ex-footballer to present the programme rather than a property expert.

Getting back to Sol Campbell. It doesn't seem that long ago that he wanted to be a Tory MP or run as their candidate for London Mayor.

It is a very good read. Where you holidaying?
