Is the writng on the wall for many in football - including managers ?

[Tuerto]

With the future of many football league clubs in the balance (especially if they are denied income from home games next season at least from the start, as seems likely) will these guys who are walking (Eddie Howe, Paul Cooke etc) work again in football?

Remember the good ole days when guys who worked in football ended up keeping pubs or becoming newsagent? The 'keeping pubs' prolly won't happen, but you get my drift?

One could even predict that many of the lower league clubs will become amateur set-ups in the foreseeable future.

That's a thread in it's own right-Ex Footballers who owned pubs, and you've been there. I reckon Bluetit would smash it!

Actually, it was a newsagent I knew. A left winger for Pompey in the mid-1950s in the old First Division called Gordon Dale. He was like lightning. Next time I saw him he was selling papers in a corner shop up the road from us. He was a right miserable so-and-so.
