I don't get why anyone would hire one of Ferguson's players, they're all boderline a R word we used liberally in the 2000s.I like Rooney but how does he keep getting jobs?

More or less the infatuation with former English great players. Few become great managers, some are fortunate enough to become journeymen like Bruce.I like Rooney but how does he keep getting jobs?
For some reason the English footballing system is obsessed with recycling people who used to be good at playing football, even though that has basically nothing to do with being a good manager.
The only reason Rooney has a job as a manager is because he was the best English footballer circa 2008. He has literally zero other qualifications. Same goes with Lampard and Gerrard.
Michael Owen appears to be borderline autistic so that's prevented him from getting the same treatment.
There are some who will "never be out of a job" Harry Kane will be another treated like this mark my words.
Even leaving aside all disdain I have for him - if you saw this guy on the road would you assume he's a multimillionaire, Man Utd all time top scorer and current Championship manager? Or that he's a former journeyman boxer now jobless alcoholic who spends his days between bookies pub and Greggs.
The United job might be available soon.
