Has there ever been a successful manager that has emerged from the utd teams under fergie? seems keane, hughes, bruce etc... have all been average
I'll ask a more general question, which managers have a record for turning out players who became top managers?
Arthur Rowe with Nicholson and Ramsay comes to mind.
Alan Shearer and Tony Adams springs to mind. Probably the worst two managers ever in the PL. Apart from Gross. Just mentioning him sends shivers down my spine!Of course he may be a success in the future and he may not, he will not be the first player to fail after playing. We shall see as its easy to pontificate on the game because you were a very good player but it means nothing once you become a manager.
So was Poch when he went to SouthamptonFDB is very premiership light from an experience point.
Losing a manager to us is of course upsetting for Southampton, but at least, deep down, I'm sure the fans understand it. But losing a manager to Everton would be particularly hard to take.Oooh, someone wants to be SCBC's new arch enemy.

Also, we're obviously an upgrade in Southampton. Take the last two seasons out as a Martinez-led anomaly, and we're a massively bigger club.
I said in the other thread that once again we're looking to employ a manager who has to step up to our level. Regardless of league positions these last two years I think even Soton fans will agree Everton is a step up for Koeman.
But we sure as heck have moved on from the starting position with our last two appointments, when we moved for the coaches of Preston North End and Wigan Athletic.
To be fair Southampton isn't that much bigger a club to come from either.
I am ruling out neither Jose nor Simeone.
Wow.... They have a fantastic history... but I cannot see them as being an attractive club to manage these days. They probably have a budget of similar size to Southampton, with no imminent prospects of it increasing.Not according to Everton fans:
