Given the rapid 'hire and fire' mentality of their Italian owner, there'd always be a job for him at Leeds.............briefly.

[Ted Hughes]

Tbf, he's been rather shown up with his inability to get players playing modern day football at the rags, but he's gone over to Spain, the home of pass & move, & is going to try & improve himself. If it comes off, he may return in the future a far better manager. If he has Sociedad randomly hoofing the ball into the oppo penalty area, then he will show himself up even further. But at least he's having a go, unlike most British managers & players, who don't have the balls to test themselves outside their comfort zone.

No idea how he will communicate with the players though.

[Dameerto]

It's gonna be like what's his name coming from Spain and taking over at Spurs, not speaking a word of English, looking confused for a few months, then being put out of his misery.

[zuricity]

Whilst i am pleased that Moyes and the Rags screwed up last season and so far this season, they are proving that even so called 'top managers' , like Van khall, still can't cut the mustard, well basically with a bunch of rags.
I think the major mistake he made last season was taking the job on.

I think he will do well in Spain. To suggest that the guy is not a modern manager is silly.He did very well in one of the worlds top leagues on limited resources at Everton to keep them challenging for CL and Europa league the rags taking them down the league.

[twosips]

I hope he does well for the simple fact that it'll show the rags up even more.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of many [English] Managers who have gone abroad to ply their trade.

Woy Hodgson, Bobby Robson and the 'Brolly Man' immediately spring to mind and, paradoxically, they all managed the England team.........I wonder if this is a portent that Gollum will one day manage the national side (England, that is) ??


Heaven forfend such an eventuality coming about.

There's been a few in Scandinavia, e.g. Stuart Baxter, Bob Houghton, Keith Blunt etc.
But that's not a very big transition, culturally or football-wise.

Venables was another England manager to go abroad...
John Toshack (Welsh), Chris Coleman (Welsh) and Harry Lowe all managed Sociedad, too.
Souness, Platt, Peter Reid, Bryan Robson, Revie, Peter Taylor and David James all managed/manage abroad, too.
I'm sure I heard Carlton Palmer was managing in China, too...

..plus Howard Kendall. Bilbao..after everton, before us
I checked wikipedia because my memory couldnt recall how he got on there...he didnt last too long, apparently "hindered by limitations on the players he could sign"...hmm..hopefully davey is more clued up about things...I wont hold my breath..but credit him for trying. Germany or Holland or Belgium would have been better for him imo

One Manager working abroad, whose name I forgot about, is Terry Butcher....in Scotland.

Ah so , it seems plenty of managers and players do have the desire to manage and train abroad then. Yet another generalisation sorted.

Oh dear ,wishing him well is one thing, but the deluded sod is quoted as saying La Liga is better than the PL ! Silius Soddus.

Stuck 30 seconds of the boring self serving deluded twat and turned over to watch the chimps on BBC 1 who were infinitely better looking, intelligent and humorous.
