Sir Clive Woodwood

[Dover]

The Daily Mail has pored speculation that Sir Clive wishes to enter into football management. Listening to the radio this morning members of the Managment Association have known this for some time, and suspect he may make a move soon.

There is some talk of Sir Clive going for the Engalnd post, but after Match of the Day, I suspect he will go to Southampton.

He is going to have to do his UEFA coaching badges first. What a move that would be! I'm sure he has the management/motivational skills, but he would surely not be coaching players in terms of skills and tactics.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I suspect he will go to Southampton.

I heard that yesterday, interesting.....

 

[Braders]

hes been at the last two southampton games

 

[Dover]

He was talking to Rupert Lowe during the game on Saturday. In the seat that used to occupied by Gordon Strachan!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

hopefully if he is england manager he will put jonny wilkinson on the left wing!!!! have you seen him on the advert with becks!? he has an accurate cross alright!!!

come on clive and jonny, join a real sport!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Surely this is doomed to failure?

Clive, leave it!...

Clive Woodward is seen watching Southampton game . Then Linker makes a little joke about him maybe becoming thier next manager . Daily Mail, Tuesday after a quite bank holiday, run a "Clive Woodward to go into Football management" headline

dont you just love the summer, newspapers so desperate to fill their pages they have to come up with this shite.

 

[London Irish]

Weirdo Woodentop has actually been talking about this for a very long time, since before the last rugby world cup. His arrogance knows no bounds. He's had a disastrous Six Nations, a disastrous Summer Tour and the idea that he can teach footballers anything when the England rugby team are in total disarray at the moment is quite amusing. Dallaglio is even quitting as England skipper at the moment because he can't stand the bloke.

It's the great untold story of the World Cup that the England players had huge rows with Wierdo about training workloads after the group games and quarter-finals when they almost went out to puny Wales. It was only the senior players led by Martin Johnson taking control of the team schedules that allowed the players to turn things round and win the cup. Now with Johnson retired, the England rugby team have totally lost the plot.

Weirdo's reputation and knighthood was utterly undeserved, it belongs rightly to Johnson.

He used to coach London Irish, the guy is a mentalist basket case and we would NEVER have him back.

But it would be very funny to see what is left of his tattered reputation be destroyed by a comical spell in charge of Southampton.

The proof that your character assasination is complete tosh is the record of England under Woodward for the two years preceding the World Cup when they annihilated every decent team in the World. You are a rugby fan so you KNOW you are talking tosh LI

The bitterness of the Irish eh

That's one of the biggest loads of rubbish I've ever read on NSC - and I've read a lot.

England's dip in form is mainly due to Wilkinson not being available, and the retirement of Johnson as captain. Sir Clive did not have the option of making Wilkinson captain as he was injured - had he been fit I think Johnny would have been chosen as captain.

England's big challenge is to replace Johnson, but that would be a challenge for any country - Australia haven't been the same without John Eales, but these things take a season or two.

Don't be too hard on yourself...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

i think he would do ok as a football coach, knows how to motivate his players

The whole Woodward/football thing sounds like an April Fools' Day story. Tomorrow: Kelly Holmes on how she can resurrect Man United's title chances.
