Would actually like to see him in a player/coach role first, being a manager would depend on him having the appropriate licenses

I think I was just looking at gerrard, Rooney and lampard as examples.

I personally don’t want to see the next one of the pack (Pulis, big sam, Bruce etc) come in after Roy.

I keep seeing mark Hughes popping up and I can him getting his turn with us.

I think I’m just craving something fresh. Look at Scott Parker and how he’s now getting a tune out of Fulham.

With the lack of funds available and if he were to do his badges etc, why not. I do however acknowledge that the lack of management experience is a big problem.

He’d certainly be an asset for the club once he does stop playing. Agreed with earlier post in that a coaching role would be good initially but I can visualise his standing on the touch line barking out orders at the defence for sure.

I’ve mentioned in another post about Cahill linking up with Lampard and Morris to form a team once Roy has gone. Young, fresh and exciting.

Parker has a massively talented squad better than ours yet can't buy a win.

Rubbish. Two of our three most creative players have been out injured

If GC wanted a route into management then I would think that with us having Cat 1 Academy & with several examples of players coming through the ranks already on the staff (Derry etc) we would be a good place to start when he is ready - perhaps managing the under 18s ? - although also to be fair with the number of contacts that he will have built up over the years in other clubs (Chelsea etc) I doubt that he would need to look far for a suitable opening somewhere on the coaching / management ladder.
