Why is Phil Thompson's name never suggested as a Manager?

[Bootle Buck]

I thought Thommo did an excellent job when GH was sick. I am surprised his name has never been mentioned with any jobs being available. Maybe clubs think he is a one club man or maybe he prefers TV. Has he ever suggested he would like to go back to Football management.

I think his passion and enthusiasm would be ideal for the likes of a Leicester, Derby who are looking for a manager.

probably cos they all know he's a one team man

That reminds me, there was meant to be a big interview with him on On the Ball (Irish radio) during the week. Anybody get it?

Can't imagine why anyone would offer Phil Thompson a manager's job

[Stevie H]

perhaps he doesn't want to be one?

 

john gregory is in the frame to take over from ian holloway at QPR. poor hoops.

Can't imagine why anyone would offer Phil Thompson a manager's job

 

Especially when Souness is currently looking for a job

I've always found him a big-mouthed divvy

compared to the comments I've heard from a few lads who were "coached" by thommo that sounds like a glowing tribute.

He comes across great on the telly and is obviously a diehard fan, but apparently he's not so popular with those who have worked with him.
