    I'd have him as player manager 100%.

    Rangers want to hang on to him as a player, with poss future coaching role. Sunderland are interested in signing him with similar. There is no way we could afford the money to take him on. Also it takes us back to that old conundrum - does a great player become a great coach? And PARTICULARLY in Lgs 1 and 2. Defoe has never played at this level. How would he instantly understand it, the different quality of the players? Not for me.

    The 29 games for AFC Bournemouth in L2 don't count then?

    And how many years ago was that? Hardly think he'll have his finger on the current pulse of lower league football.

    I'd only consider him as a player coach with Lionel Messi as player manager - he's out of contract so there's no reason for Rupp not to sign him up.

    And your point was, I believe he'd never played at lower league level which he clearly has albeit 20 years ago.

    Ronaldo might be worth a look at too.
    Urrr, which is kind of my point. Twenty years ago.

    You do get that this was just an exchange of jokes between Parader and I?

    They did, but I think that if anyone is going to be a player manager they need to be a defender or defensive midfield player, not convinced it works with a striker. Though Frank Stapleton did do too badly

    The best player manager I've seen was Jimmy Scoular who played for our then rivals Park Avenue.
