Do his players and people around him learn any of his managerial skills.
Mark Hughs.....His team is very below par
Paul Ince.......Religation fodder
Steve Bruce.....More relegation contenders
Roy Kean......Making a right mess of it at Sunderland
Steve Mclaren.......Rubbish

They are all still young apart from McClaren. One problem with the British approach is that the moment you have a bad time you can't get back in. Many excellent managers have done a bad job somwewhere.

Oh how I'd love to see Ince and Keane take their respective clubs down...

To be fair to McClaren, pre-England he did a good job at Middlesbrough. When someone fucks up, it is easy to forget the good stuff.
As for the Manure Academy of Managers, seems being managed by the best doesn't guarantee a thing. All average managers who should know their place. Mark Hughes is a good mid table Prem manager (look at his Blackburn days), Ince is League 1 or Champs at a push. Bruce is a relegation Prem or high end Champs manager.
Not sure about Keane. He started well and has tailed off

it's a secret plan by the whining Scottish wanker to populate the premiership with shit managers who will roll over and give up 3 points when asked.

All except McLaren are in the early stages of their careers so it is a bit unfair to be overly critical now.
Ince - became a prem manager to early, should have stayed on at MK Dons for another year or taken a champ job. Too big a promotion too soon, but I think he will be a good manager in years to come.
Keane - Great start at Sunderland now having a tough time, it's his first job, so it will be interesting to see how he learns from this.
Hughes - did well at blackburn, is having a tough time now he's made a step up to a ig money club. He needs time and a good run at the transfer market before he can be judged.

They aren't crap managers they just are too young to have grown into the job fully.

Bruce has managed for quite some time now & to be fair he has mostly done quite well.
very impressed with his willingness to gamble on players from obsure footballing backgrounds @ Wigan.
Maclaren,lets not forget,had s/t holders demonstarting to his face @ Boro.

Does anyone else only read Effingham's posts to see how many spelling mistakes he's made?
Qu'est qu'un ****, as they say in Bordeaux.
