Sir Bobby Charlton, possibly the greatest English footballer of all time, but didn't do well as a manager either.
Indeed - he cut a sad figure trying to manage Preston but I think genius footballers rarely have the skills to manage, motivate and even understand a team of players with mixed abilities.
Re the criticism of negative comments re England I think it's completely reasonable to point out (1) we offered scant reward to loyal fans in the manner of any entertainment, and (2) Southgate continued to start players that had performed poorly whilst players who changed the game when playing rarely got more than a cameo appearance - Southgate's team selection reminded me of Boothroyd's play off final team selection in casting a negative atmosphere even before a ball was kicked
