It is a shame to see players not stay involved in a coaching capacity once they've finished playing. I was suprised to see both the clubs mentioned by last man back having to pay for a manager. I believe that neither of them would want to do that again, nor would any club. It is a long season and perhaps rather than one man being in overall charge some teams may look to have 2 or 3 ex/players run the side. Would be good if current players or ex players got involved with coaching the youth or under age sides, I know there is still a big committment but that may give some people the bug to carry on and manage junior sides.
