    Yeah but he only went for a bit of sun.
    Lovely Cyprus.

      I'm shocked at those facts.

      Of course everyone looks old when you're a kid but Shankley and Paisley always looked like proper old men.

      Clough retiring at 58 is also a surprise.
      The booze took its toll mind.

        My boy just said that Johan Cruyff, although he’s gone on, would have been 74 this year, would he be rejected on the age issue?

          David Moyes doing a good job at West Ham and pushing up towards 60, Roy Hodgson doing well at Palace and is past 73.

          But don't forget that Pocchetino told Bamba, who then passed it on, that our defence had major flaws and Warnock's response was to laugh it off saying he's too old to learn a new defensive system. Is the older head stuck in their ways or ready to merge what they know with the best of modern practice?

            Clough

            They didn't do too badly did they ?

            If you are good enough then whats this worry about age ?

            People seem obsessed with appointing young managers with all the coaching badges , computer generated plans , nutrition analysts

            Football is a simple game

            Put the ball in the net , stop the other lot doing the same

            Thats my philosophy
            Clough?

            he was a manager at 30 and won the European cup in his 40s

              Clough took a middling team to championship and European Cup glory , back to back

              Incredible manager

              Many cast offs and free signings and big money when needed

              Archie Gemmil

              Larry Lloyd

              Kenny Burns

              Tony Woodcock

              Birtles

              Trevor Francis .....most expensive signing at the time

              Tremendous side

              Real shame to see him slip into alcohol addiction

              You could see it in his face in interviews

              Football legend

                  David Moyes looks old beyond his years 😳

                  Hodgson is a very good manager

                    Carlo Ancelotti is the same age as MM I bet folk wouldn’t call him out on age if he was given the gig on Friday.

                            Hardly a hoofball merchant who hasn't achieved much for the best part of 10 years though

                              My point is age not style

                                They are directly linked though. MM's age is being pointed out because his style is old school and implies he isn't going to change his methods. No-one would complain if Bielsa was appointed
