Pretty easy to say you've got a feeling it won't work out. He's going in to a difficult situation at Oldham, with very little coaching experience. Chances are it won't work out and you'll be proven right.

There's not much evidence to suggest he's not management material though. There's not much evidence either way.

Good luck to him.

Is it any way like Henry stepping into the Monaco role?

The spurs fans go on about their injury crisis but that pales into comparison to what happened there.

I just don't think that he has a particularly inspiring personality. Time will tell though.

Just seen. Lets see how well he does.

Best of luck to him

United connection already telling, decent first coup for the new Oldham boss that. Young should be a class above in that division despite what we think of him for us.

Erm....I have some bad news for you Mike......

Scholes Gerrard Lampard debate going to come up again but this time as managers?

Doesn't seem the type to succeed at management

Scholes knows how to win. Always vocal on BT Sport about how Man Utd should be playing.

I can see him getting frustrated at the standard of his players, it's alright having big ideas on how the sides should play (like Ole has) but you can only coach a certain amount out of the players you have.

Scholes could give a masterclass lesson to his CM's in how to play, but they won't be able to replicate even 25% of what he's said if they can't read the game well enough.

Must be frustrating for the manager in that situation, hopefully he has the right attributes as a manager/coach to be able to work at this level and get his ideas across in a way that can be translated to that division.

Scholes has been part of the ownership of Salford City going up the leagues. He will know about getting the right players in the long run as he knows a lot about football.

A problem that Hoddle used to have apparently.

Mike

Hasn't Scholes already been involved in coaching lower standard players at some level.

Not sure VC, think he was caretaker manager for Salford but only for a few games. Any involvement in one of our youth sides?

Agreed, Gerrard was always the stand out player.

At diving no player in the world could beat Gerrard.👍
