It’s far easier to shaft people from the boardroom

The Spoiler’s serialisation of Dennis Wise’s autobiography continues with his revelation, whilst still playing for Chelsea, that he is just too nice a guy and doesn’t possess the ruthless streak required to be a successful manager.

We’re not so sure that Marcelino Elena, Callum Davidson and Kevin Keegan would agree with Wise’s self-evaluation:

As for the long term, well I would like to stay in football. I have worked for many managers at club and international level. From each of them I have tried to learn something and one day I hope to be able to put what I’ve learned into practise. But management? I don’t know. Despite what you might think, I would hate upsetting people by leaving them out of the team. I know how that feels and, believe me, it is not a nice feeling.
