I'm fairly confident he will be an abject failure.

This could well be a lot of fun!!

Blimey! Who saw that one coming? :ohmy:

Hopefully a highly amusing crash n burn job. Tho if he somehow ends up in a higher league position next season than our resident dullard...

Will be interesting to see the outcome.

Whether they stay up or not will be more about their transfer window than their manager appointment though.

If he turns out to be just half the manager that he was a player, then he will be a great success.

Patrick Viera, one of the best box to box midcfield players that has ever graced the Premier League.

Where are the Palarse trolls??

Waiting for them to say how Europe is guaranteed next season (and that a certain poster 'knew' it was Viera months ago).

Do great players generally go onto make great managers all that often?

Pep, certainly, Mancini, possibly.

I’m struggling after these two in the current crop of top class managers. Steven Gerrard may prove to be great, but it’s a bit soon to know yet.
In the past, not many English great players have made it as agreat manager, Moore , Bobby Charlton, Styles, all pretty abject failures on the manager front.

Most great managers were pretty average, or worse , players.

Zidane did pretty well, Deschamps too. That World Cup team have done ok. Henry not been great.

Jury’s out on vieira for me, couldn’t say I’ve seen any of his teams play football so can’t judge too much. Just hope he’s a loud of old pony.

Can see him quitting before the season starts if they don't make some headway with players.
