More and more clubs now are giving positions to ex- players with no or little coaching or managerial experience, they see a great player and think ‘he’ll make a good manager’.

But there is a huge difference between being a good player and being a good coach and manager. Harry was an excellent coach in his younger Satta King years as was Ray Harford. These people did it the hard way and did the hard jobs and worked their way up the ladder. It’s all about learning your trade you learn something new every day – that’s if you have a open mind and want to.

That’s the problem with the English game I have so much respect for the academy coaches and lads working at the lower levels of the football League. They put so much time in and do many jobs out coaching on cold winter evenings, producing our future players. Every weekend is busy but many of them will never get a chance further up the ladder because they are either not in the loop or don’t know the right people.
