The Fish 10857 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sky Sports News just had a brief piece about whether the manager's wardrobe has any bearing on his team's success. Sir Alex Ferguson wears a suit Warnock wears a tracksuit Poyet - Suit John Sheridan - Tracksuit Lennon - Tracksuit So what does that tell us? I'll tell you what that tells us; there's fuck all going on today in the world of sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It looks particularly shit if a manager wears a suit as well as a Puma/Nike/adidas/Umbro coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think all managers should wear a suit, I also think players should turn up to and leave training in a club suit. but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeazesLad Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 It looks particularly shit if a manager wears a suit as well as a Puma/Nike/adidas/Umbro coat. I tell you what looks the shittest, German managers wear a full suit and on the white collar of their shirts it will said "adidas" horrific, and only the German's would be oblivious to the utter tack of it.

ChezGiven 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wenger's knee length puffer is the gayest coat on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like a trackie as it makes a manager seem more hands on but a suit for cup finals. Although I hear Pardews choice of suit is of the birthday variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wenger's always looks particularly wank like. Not sure if some of them are contractually obliged to wear them but if I was the kit manufacturer I'd be putting in a clause stopping them if they've got a suit on.

Guest alex Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tailored suit and home-knit cardigan. God love Bob Paisley Funnily enough my Dad saw him once in the players' lounge at Anfield (after he'd retired as manager) and commented on the exact same thing, i.e. he was wearing an immaculate suit and he took the jacket off to reveal a crocheted cardigan.

Monkeys Fist 42438 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just after Mourinho threw his lucky overcoat into the crowd at Chelski, he turned out at SJP in a puffer track jacket. Cue Level 7- " Your coat's from Matalan Your coat's from Matalan" Class (this might've been the game where he put three subs on at halftime , then Shearer clattered Wayne Bridge, not sure though).

dbsweeney 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Enough said. Especially his Halloween Derby day suit! Yup, that looked very classy. I also agree that players should turn up to training and leave in a suit. They're professionals and should treat turning up to work every day in such a way. Otherwise every day just seems like a civvies day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I expect getting players to turn up and leave in a suit would be a mission. They probably think they're keepin' it real as they put on their designer gear and climb into their ferraris after their 2 hours' work for the day.

As for training I really don't see what the point in turning up to training in anything but training gear is. On the way out obviously they can wear something else, but no point in putting on a suit for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gittes 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's funny how Tony Pulis constantly becomes another person post match. Wearing a bloody anorak and an embarassing baseball cap in the dugout, he looks like an American baseball youth coach. After the game, he comes across like a paedophile in a suit when he's interviewed. I suppose there's a reason he's wearing that bloody cap.......

angrysteve 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I always felt more confident when Hughton was wearing a suit on match day. Whatever happened to drill tops? Martin O'Neil used to favour the drill top/polo shirt combo (a lesser seen ensemble in the modern age of football management) Edited February 23, 2011 by angrysteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone are the days the players used to drive to the ground and leave their cars in the car park. Miss those mass huddles around a player with people trying to get autographs or free tickets as they made their way to the main entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Enough said. Especially his Halloween Derby day suit! I've sported the suit & tie with v-neck jumper look a couple of times this winter. A lot of the Italian managers seem to like it and they know about style there.
