I honestly have no idea what point you are trying to make with those examples.
The line ‘It doesnt matter about your career path’ is the best bit.
"I've done some analysis and after careful consideration and study of the available data, I have concluded that it doesn't matter"
Pretty much. I know im not really Ruriks target audience, same as I wasnt Ryans when he did all this shite 10 years ago, but the examples and categorisations are bizarre and random and a bit mad.
A. Different countries/football cultures have different way they go about educating emerging managers. That's a pretty well-known fact; I just tried to find some logic in regional/country grouping. Definitely grossly oversimplified, but I didn't mean to write a PHD thesis on this here.
B. English teams in particular have a tendency to take risks on unproven managers.
C. Arsenal are an English team which prides itself on growing, rather than buying talent (somewhat similar to Barcelona), therefore I think it makes sense for them to take a chance on a promising former player (like Barcelona did with Pep).
All in my opinion, of course.

- Liverpool - Klopp, Houllier, Rafa, Rodgers Hodgson all proven top flight managers.
United - Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho - all proven top flight managers
Chelsea - Conte, Ancellotti, Mourinho, Hiddink, Rafa.......
Arsenal - havnt signed a manager in 20 years so who knows.
I have no idea where you get the assumption that English teams take risks. Unless you mean Arsenal in 1994 or whenever.

Moyes is still being paid his 6 year contract from Man U and been sacked 4 times (I think) since signing the deal.
While it's true they've stuck to Wenger for decades, I think the push for change in Arsenal's case is in definitely in motion. Given the no. of personnel they brought in for 'powerful' role - such as ex-Barca DoF Raul Sanllehi and Sven Mislintat as Head of Recruitment, it's understandable why they might prefer to go with someone who will focus more on coaching and developing players - Bundesliga style appointment of a young Head Coach, following the trend of Dardai (Hertha Berlin), Nagelsmann (Hoffeinheim), Tedesco (Schalke), Baum (Augsburg) and Kohfeldt (Werder Bremen).
On a side note, Ralph Hasenhuttl has left Leipzig.

You dont manage Nechatel and Xanalax or whatever unless you are shit hot.
Gesundheit!
It's amusing how people in the media now seem to love Rafa and think he's a really likeable and excellent manager. When he was with us he was sneered at. Today I've heard over-excited radio presenters suggesting Rafa should go to West Ham, Arsenal or Everton ('It doesn't matter these days,' claimed one of them, 'Liverpool fans wouldn't mind at all if he went to Everton, and Everton fans would love him'). Incredible.
People are silly
Good point. I'm off to try and reintegrate the vomit back into my digestive system
Erik de Vere just resigned from Strasbourg. Looks like he might be lined up for Arsenal.
You’re at it again Gene!!!!!
He’s a good coach. He did great things with the young players there and his low-press tactics are fun to watch.
I feel sorry for Rafa... twice now he has ended up with shite owners... that Sports direct cunt doesn't give a fuck at Newcastle and Rafa got them mid-table with a squad that was basically unchanged from the first division.
West Ham... a better bet than Newcastle under their current ownership.
Personally, I'd think he would be a dangerously good fit for Arsenal but I doubt they will try and sign him.

Yep. I was never really that impressed with him, but it's still quite a coup for West Ham
It would be, if the owners weren't inept
They need an overhaul of everyone, rather than just manager
Can't wait for his first interview:
"Gor Blimey, guv! What a proppa, proppa oppawtunity vis is, eh? QPR is a massive clab, massive. I'm deligh'ed to be 'ere, an' NO mistake!"
He's also an ardent admirer of Dorfmaier. It will be interesting to see if he will follow de Vere.
This post makes me happy
Pellegrino shuffling towards West Ham, bursting with his usual energy and joie de vivre.
