Joey Allen into a coaching role ..

[Andrew - North Hill]

Higher up the betting is Garry Monk.....

Huw fancying some day trips around the National League in 26/27 then.

Fergie used to heavily support his former players when they started management careers by loaning out his up and coming youth players. For a while it became one of the reasons to give them their first opportunities in management.

If Joe gets a job like that then League Two would be a decent level to send those who are too good for the u21s to get first team experience under the eyes of someone who knows how we want to play.

I don’t think that worked for Fergie. I can’t think of one of his former players who’ve successfully made the jump into management. Solskjaer is probably the best. Jury’s still out on Carrick, but he’s not pulling up trees.

The likes of Keane and Robson had limited success and who knows how Giggs' career would have gone if not for his off the field behaviour. Robins has done well outside the PL. Blanc won plenty of league titles in France. Probably the two most successful, certainly in longevity, were Bruce (476 games as manager in PL!) and Hughes.

Bryan Robson?
Mark Hughes?

They may not have reached the top of the game but they certainly had helping hands from Fergie when they started out
