Ibrahimovic for player manager anybody?

[Stef 73]

Seriously though why don't teams have player managers anymore like in the 70s and 80s?

[Steven Ageroad]

Because they found out quickly that it did not work.

Worked for liverpool

Rangers is probably a better example with souness

Liverpool always had a system of promoting from inside that proved successful.

Put the drink down...

Lord no, he would probably try to play himself in all eleven positions because no one else could play them like Zlatan.

sourness you mean

Don't think Parker, the team or us fans could handle his ego.  He just declared that he conquered LA even though during his time there they won absolutely nothing. 

[Woolly Mammoth]

He would never be able to fit his swollen head through any of the doors at Motspur Park or Craven Cottage.

[The Rational Fan]

If he wants to be player-manager, then he should offer his services for free and i am sure Wigan would consider him.

kompany tried it with anderlecht this season, after 10 games he gave up control to concentrate on the playing side. The way football is these days, pressures for success, it's hard enough doing one job let alone 2

I hadn't clocked that Kompany had stepped down but did notice that a Simon Davies was head coach..  This bloke has hardly operated outside the Welsh Leagues .... seems a hell of a step up to manage Anderlecht!

You'd have another berbatov

I was thinking the same...  He could enter from the Riverside side...  :005:

I actually have a rowing boat available, but I would be concerned that the weight of his head would sink the boat.
