You never really know until it is tried. I remember applying for my first supervisory positon in a major company, many years ago. My best friend told me I should stay where I was as I was too good of a tradesman and too nice of a guy to put up with the bull**** from above and below. However sometimes nice guys do come through and I spent the next 20 years or so in various supervisory and managerial roles. If Lee is given a shot at it, I wish him nothing but the best.

His stint as caretaker after CC was awful, his stint after JL was good (it couldn't have been worse following that clown) I just feel he won't have the contacts in the game that more experienced guys have as he played his entire career at a fairly modest level, a great bloke that I wouldn't want to see tarnished by the reputation of failed management.

Maybe it is time British football adopted the two edged sword type of management . One guy runs the day to day operations of the team and another deals for players , transfers etc.and handles that side of the club. It is the norm in all North American sports to have a general manager to run the front office i.e .scouts. and the like, also he is the one who gets the players for the field manager to work with. This scenario would be ideal for a guy like Lee Bullen. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â I can see where your coming from mate but I don't think some of the managerial greats like Ferguson/Clough etc would have wanted to be told what players they can have, I think we tried a bit of that approach under CC with mixed results.

There have been some that worked though i.e. Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison at Man. City in the 60's. One of the guys you mentioned there, Brian Clough got about 90 per cent of his players through Peter Taylor, Brian just rubber stamped Peter's suggestions.
