According to the League Manager's Association .. manage the club you played for .. of the magic 92, no less than 31 (as I type this, things can change very quickly) are managed by ex players for that club .. who'd'a thunk it ?, a third, 33% .. that stat really surprised yet pleased me

So, under Monsieur Bowyer (and M Jackson), we should be well down the road to great success.

Mind you, some managers have played for a LOT of clubs

    Only 3 in the premier league and one of them never played a game. So 2 really.

    It does apply mostly to the FL lower leagues as you point out

    Is that because people look for jobs closer to home?

    Would you up root your family to Carlisle, if you lived in the south east, for a job that has zero security?

    could be .. or perhaps it's a case of 'the devil you know'

    It's a football cliche isn't it, "knowing the club"

    "We're so glad to have xxxx back as manager, As a former player he knows the club and what it stands for etc"

    In some ways true, but are football clubs of a similar really that different?
