Diego_Werderdona Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm Werder Bremen till I die. The only way I would manage HSV or Bayern would be to run them into the ground, which is great fun but isn't exactly a long-term career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I would never manage the big rivals but i hope the minor local rivals do well. For example im a Sheff U fan and started with them i then left for an unsucessful spell with the ivory Coast. Now im managing local team Doncaster Rovers.

Fantazm Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'll only ever manage one Prem club and that's Liverpool. I'd consider a few lower league sides but when I quit LFC I always go abroad.

Starr_Man5 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 No. I tried once on LMA(2003 I think) to manage Utd for fun, but when we came up against Liverpool I quit.
