Watching the football League show at the weekend, I was struck by how many ex players are managers

Venus, Dickov, Grayson, Robins, Powell, Rowett

Maybe it's because we never paid them much :)

Billy Davies too.
And quite a few ex City players work in the media. TV and Radio are full of them. Percentage wise I would imagine we have one of the highest for ex players for the size of Club. Liverpool and Arsenal have quite a few as well but when you think of Lineker Savage Claridge Keown Dublin Bright Cottee Colleymore and even Manish worked for Radio Leicester.

Aaah, I didn't know that, or maybe I did and forgot it a long time ago

A few assistant managers too...Steve Thompson, Rob Kelly, Steve Agnew, Kevin Russell

And goalkeeping coaches: Kevin Poole, Tim Flowers, Ian Walker (somewhere in China!)

Probably more...oh Roberto Mancini of course

Oh Gary Mills is Gateshead's manager

"We found ourselves soon naked on the couch. Suddenly the door opens and there stands a gigantic man .
- Who the f *** are you? he shouted .
The woman had not said anything about her being married.
- It's probably best I go, I said.
- I think probably it's best Yes, replied the man. "
Pour in accident
Eriksson left the apartment wearing only a shirt and a pair of overly large basketball shoes that he found in the stairwell . The next morning he woke up in a hotel room , after which he quickly found out he had gone to the wrong hotel .
Fortunately, the receptionist recognized him , says Eriksson in the book , and gave him a room even though he had no money or cards themselves . The wallet was in fact the jacket was left with the woman .
The story ends with Eriksson smuggled into his original hotel , and through his friend Glenn Schiller he gets back clothes and wallet .

Aftonbladet could not resist when they met Eriksson Wednesday and confronted the former Manchester City manager with the story .

- It's not in my book , says Eriksson .
- It's in the Norwegian edition ?
