Didn't know much about football manager, but it's safe to say it's a very demanding job with long work hours (analysing, planning) that's mentally taxing. It really helps to have a good assistant you trusted to run your instructions accordingly. The effect might not be direct in terms of tactical but the amount of "other task" the manager can delegate will free up his time to do something else.

Those in managerial level in a big company will know how fast a day could pass
 


We understand #MUFC's Ryan Giggs WILL NOT be the new Bolton manager, despite being some bookies' favourite#BWFC




Told Bolton want a new manager in place by the end of the week. I'd be (very) surprised if that was Ryan Giggs.
 
Oh FFS. I thought he had left already?

Why is he still moping around and why is the club still pandering to him?
Exactly my thoughts :lol:, why Doesnt he just feck off and prove himself ffs, it's getting ridiculous now.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Sir Alex Ferguson used to say nobody is bigger than the club, in this case, Manchester United. I'm starting to get a sense Giggs might be bigger than United.
 
He could probably get a Championship job just due to his name and having all necessary badges. Going abroad would be a good challenge, in some smaller leagues he could probably even get a job at a challenger (Wisła Kraków would gladly have him) and experience European football but I don't think he will even consider taking a role outside England.
 
Giggs has played a long game, probably figuring that his best, and maybe only, chance of ever managing United was to step up from assistant manager after a sacking. It hasn't worked. The shark-infested waters of lower-level management await. Now's the time to take the plunge. He'll probably be gobbled up like 90% of ex-players but he can't stay on the bank forever.
Weren't you the poster who said a thread title named 'Ryan Giggs Future' invokes as much sympathetic curiosity as one titled 'Fred West's Childhood Daydreams'? If not my apologies. i agree with everything else you said.

Why? The club wants to keep him in some coaching capacity and are waiting to see if he wants that or a role elsewhere. If we were bending over backwards and forcing him on Mourinho, your comment would make sense.
 
What the hell is wrong with some of you? Giggs is bigger than United? Because the club want to keep him in a coaching role?

Why are you weirdos getting upset that possibly our clubs biggest ever legend is staying at the club?

Personally because I want him to succeed and I believe the best way for him to do that is to go out on his own and prove it, it's not like he won't be allowed back if he's successful elsewhere.

Victim of working with Moyes and LvG I suspect.

Personally hope he stays in some capacity as long as Jose wants him to, which I think is important.
 
I'd like him to stay, but this create your own role this is a little worrying tbh

Don't be ridiculous, if he was he would be have been made manager and taken over Woody's job as well.

Trust me when I tell you Giggs is more concerned about being successful than you are for him. If he thinks moving on is the best way, he will. If he thinks it's better to stick on in a coaching role he will. Personally, I think he's waiting to land a job which gives him a good start and will leave when he does so. No point rising into a job where he can't win so he might stick on in some capacity till that happens.

Assuming the article has good sources, "name his job" means 1st team coach, U21 manager, coach etc etc. Not create a new role at the club for him.

Wouldn't put his exploits solely on size tbh.

And the way you word that is to say he should feck off?

The issue is it could mean someone elses role no? I mean we already have a very good u21 manager for instance
 
Bolton should go for someone like Neil Warnock instead of a rookie like Giggs. Speaking of Giggs, why do he even want to continue in football? If I was him, having won all those trophies, I don't think I could find the motivation to do well as a manager, he's already been there and done that numerous of times.

It may be that a great player like Giggs is never 'hotter' or more attractive to clubs than immediately after hanging up his boots. Waiting to cool down may not be the best strategy.

I doubt 3 years of association with failure has helped him.
 
If he added something of value I'd be perfectly happy for him to stay but I don't see what that is and I don't like the idea of him being given 'whatever job he wants' just because he's Ryan Giggs.

He's been #2 in a terrible failure of a regime and was on the coaching staff of the failed regime before that. Whatever it is he's supposed to be adding doesn't seem to have done an awful lot on the face of it.

Nobody should get a job based of former glory unless it's an ambassadorial role and he's got higher ambitions than that.

If he wants to be a manager go be a manager. He didn't get his football career handed to him on a plate, he worked for it and showed his worth, management should be no different.
 
I find Mou alleged rejection of not hiring Giggs as no 2 as fascinating. Its strange because Mou does love to promote someone within the club as assistant. He did that with Beppe Baresi and with Karanka, so why hasn't he offered the same to Giggs?

Some may say that he simply doesn't need him. Unlike the Serie A and La Liga Mou knows the EPL inside out. In few words he doesn't need someone to help him learn the ropes. However its also true that the manager knows that politics play an important part in football management and snubbing a club legend whose got powerful mates in the media and the board will have consequences. Surely the easier way out would be to just hire him as no 2 and monitor him closely. If he's out of depth then surely Mou got the experienced staff needed to nanny him.

Which makes me wonder. Assuming that all rumours are true, then why is Mou going through all this hassle not to bring Giggs inside the inner circle? Well that's very difficult to come out with. However what is sure is that both Moyes and LVG got exposed to the media in the end with Giggs turning as the hero of the story in both occasion. Maybe someone had whispered in Mou's ears that he's better off not to have Giggs within the inner circle?
 
Sad to see a club legend effectively positioning himself for the role of Man Utd's Mike Emenalo...

Whatever Giggs does from here, he should make sure it looks dignified. These stories are starting to make him look entitled.

These stories which he isn't responsible for and which seem to be changing from day to day. Yeah he needs to sort them out, what with his magical ability to control the media.

That could be, but Giggs is also a much bigger name than (that) Baresi and Karanka. I don't think Mourinho likes to share the limeligt, so he'll need a lesser name to sit next to him and at best someone who's not part of the Co92, Mike Phelan for example.

There's no doubt that as a player Giggs had a much more prestigious career than Baresi and Karanka. Having said that his career as a football are over. Coaching wise he's just another Ryan. Coaching wise, Beppe is a much bigger name than Giggs is. He had basically covered every role at Inter apart from that of manager, he was head of youths between 2001 and 2008 winning 2 youth titles, 1 youth cup and 2 Viareggio tournaments (they were pretty popular at the time and even United took part in them). That's quite a decent record considering that Inter has quite a reputation of buying foreigners and not relying on youths (The Inter way is actually older then our Busby way).
 
These stories which he isn't responsible for and which seem to be changing from day to day. Yeah he needs to sort them out, what with his magical ability to control the media.

Giggs could just say 'yes I want to be first teach coach and I will work under Faria'. He could say 'I want coaching experience but don't want to leave United so I'll do the U18s'. He could just put out a statement saying he wants to be a manager and is leaving United. His silence prolongs the speculation.
