i would like to know how Golden came up with his list in the first place

The thing is, there is little guarantee that a successful manager of a small club would be successful when given the resources of a heavy hitter.
Both jobs require subtle differences - for example in the transfer market - at a small club you need to be good at making the most of what your limited budget will get you, some like Harry Redknapp excel in buying these unknowns.
At a bigger club, there's probably a better scouting system in place (and surely it is easier to see the merits of a Messi as opposed to a Mr Kwrtastc from say Poland :lol), so the ability to spot talent might be secondary to the ability to actually motivate overpaid young men!

Btw, Keegan's a muppet at both facets, and if you are considering managers who have cut their teeth at clubs with little or no budget, why isn't Dario Gradi in the list? Oh wait, he's even older than ferguson. My bad.

I prefer Alan Curbishley 

Has anyone mentioned that our beloved Rooney's wife Colleen is now three months pregnant? We'll be seeing more Little Shreks around in the future. Lets sign them up!

Haha, on a more serious note, I hope being a father will now make Rooney feel more responsible for his actions and try to be a lil more patient on the field. As it is, he's stocking up on too many reckless yellow cards, some even after coming on the pitch for less than half an hour. But then again, he did say that taking the aggression away from him will make him a less bombastic player, so... its a catch 22.

For me, Gary is the best right back. Remember the time when he was playing behind David Beckham? They complement each other very well.

Rio was subbed off last night. Hope he is not injured. 

man i can't wait for hargreaves to get back on the field. he is strong and he chases opponents back like hell whenever he loses the ball. the attitude that i like.

Tevez just came off a huge upset (playing at high altitude) and Park flying in from Korea! I hope they are up to it. And if Berba is still out for Tuesday, I hope they can recover for the CL match!

Anything's better than Habsdullah Awang "Rio Ferdinand, yea jaringan Rio Ferdinand!"
