I think this is right, but by my reckoning none of our former managers are currently in a managerial position.
that probably says something about either managing us, or the career in general.

Whay you reckon Warnock will get one more hit at it? I'm going for Barnsley, cos he's always had a soft spot for them.Quote:

As for the others. Slade must realise now that he's not going to be a manager in the full time game again. Trollope looks to have settled for Assistant Manager roles and there'll always be EFL clubs looking to Warnock to get them out of trouble, but I'd say he can forget about the Premier League now, Harris would probably have to drop a division or two to get a job and McCarthy's failure here was such an abject one that I think there's every chance he'll not get another manager's job even if he still wants one.
I can see Harris maybe getting another championship jobQuote:

Personally I can't see him in a Championship club anytime soon
I am always surprised that Malky hasn't gone on to do bigger things, he really was the next big thing when he was with us, the future of football management
I know his name was pretty toxic with what went on when he was with us, but he has apologised repeatedly, been on a few awareness courses, I guess he still hasn't been punished enough
I think it turned out he was a dishonest **** on top of his other little misdemeanours.Quote:

He had a half decent job with the SFA , plenty weren't happy about that .
Wont be many rich pickings for him at Ross County.
By contrast look at the jacks former mangers this last 10 years.
Martinez - Belgium
Rodgers - Leicester
Potter - BHA
Cooper - Forest
There’s a few in between that are probably in jobs back abroad too.
Paulo Souza is Head Coach of the Poland national team.Quote:

Even their shit managers get a decent job after being with them, although Sousa was pretty good, if more defensive.
How many jobs has Monk had since leaving them?
He had a chance at Wigan and couldn’t cut it. From memory the fans hated him because he was so negative.Quote:

What's their secret? Serious question. They're the polar opposite to us.Quote:

Harris linked to Ipswich according to WOLQuote:

As it turns out, that was a costly mistake and such a shame too, considering that, right from the start, he needed serious help on the football side.Quote:

Martinez is a bright bloke. Remember when he came over from spain to play for Wigan with two other spaniards (can anyone remember who they were) weren't wigan in the old fourth division at the time? Anyway, i read that he immersed himself in the English language, studying it 8 hours a day from a rented terraced house in Wigan with his two compatriots. I wonder if he'll ever go back to spain to work?Quote:

No plan as a club, bring in anyone without consideration.Quote:
