What's happened to the then, bright new managers
Danny Wilson
Paul Jewel
Gus Poyet (not so young)
Billy Davis
I see Dave Jones is now at Hartlepool.
Are these guys still in the game and can anyone think of any one else, who was expected to do well?

David O'Leary is a strange one... Great job with Leeds, wasnt as good with Aston Villa and then disappeared0

Poyet is managing in China0

Didn't jewel join pulis at wba for about 3 1/2 days before leaving again?

Don't think Billy Davis has really failed anywhere - his worst spell was in the Premier League at Derby, which was effectively a consequence of getting them an unexpected (and unprepared for) promotion the previous season. Seems to have encountered problems in his dealings with chairmen/CEOs.
Wish we'd appointed him instead of Dowie.1 -
Danny Wilson was sacked by chesterfield in Jan0

A number of managers seem to be on the rise, but then lose their way, many of them famous ex players such as Stuart Pearce and Paul Ince.
Slightly surprised SCP took an assistant's job, I guess he felt that it was better than being out of the limelight and forgotten about0 - Sponsored links:

So can these managers only succeed if they have large transfer budgets, though i guess that could apply to all managers?willieduff said:Danny Wilson was sacked by chesterfield in Jan

What happened to the guy who managed the "Team of the Eighties"0

I also think, George Graham's ( I know the topic heading doesn't apply to him) a strange one, why did he become so unpopular?ForeverAddickted said:

Don't let on to @ElfsborgAddick .. Billy Davies at the start of his illustrious playing career had a few games in Sweden for .. Yes .. Elfsborg .. that fact alone would be enough for our happy wanderer to demand that Davies be appointed CAFC manager tout de suite, if not sooner1

I always rated Matti Svensson as well!Lincsaddick said:Don't let on to @ElfsborgAddick .. Billy Davies at the start of his illustrious playing career had a few games in Sweden for .. Yes ..

I've just wiped a massive stinking Alan Pardew off my trainers.

I'd argue that the game had already started to move on when most of them were breaking through 10-15 years ago. I'd further that by saying it can be easier to overachieve with a small team using the traditional organized, physical, British style (Jewell, Davies, also Bryan Robson, Aidy Boothroyd, etc.) than it is to manage a team with the expectation of going out and winning more games than not (Moyes).
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think there is going to be a "lost generation" of former players looking to go into management because the methods they were used to as players, and the coaches they played under, are just incredibly dated now (Roy Keane, Martin O'Neil). The days of tackling from behind and the YTS lads cleaning the senior players' boots is gone now, but my god does that seem to stick in the craw of so many former ex-pros (many of whom currently work in commentary).0 -

SD, can't quite remember if it was Billy Davies in charge, but 3-4 seasons ago Forest absolutely battered Charlton at the Valley. It only ended 0-2, but they "passed them off the park" as the saying goes. I have a feeling it was Billy Davies' team, and they were massively impressive, but I may be wrong.SDAddick said:I'd argue that the game had already started to move on when most of them were breaking through 10-15 years ago.

Things go in cycles though
For a period of time, Spanish style tactics and managers were all the rage or Mourinho and his disciples. Now Germans are all the rage, apart from Klopp there's also his assistant Wagner at Huddersfield, and Arsenal have been "linked" with his replacement at Dortmund, Tuchel0 -
Maybe he spoke to Curbishley & also looked at how many ex managers there are floating around.killerandflash said:A number of managers seem to be on the rise, but then lose their way, many of them famous ex players such as Stuart Pearce and Paul Ince.
