The role of the professional football manager
Considering the celebrity-like status of the professional football manager, surprisingly little is known about their role. This title provides an unprecedented insight into the chronically insecure and vulnerable world of the contemporary professional football manager. Drawing on original research, it explores the complex challenges and skills of the football manager in an increasingly cut-throat, ruthless and results-based industry. Written by a former professional footballer, the book examines how personal contact networks and the social mobility of different actors within the industry influence various elements of the manager's role.

Football: FA defends Hungary friendly
George Graham has added his voice to the growing opinion that England's friendly against Hungary in Budapest next Wednesday should be called off. Not only does the Tottenham manager think it wrong to play international friendlies at this crucial final stage of the domestic season but, in light of Nato's bombing campaign, he joined others in expressing fears for the England team playing in a city just a three- hour drive from the Yugoslav border. However, the Football Association insisted yesterday that there were no plans to call the game off. Contractual obligations made it impossible to cancel the tie at such short notice on footballing grounds, and Foreign Office advice states that it is currently acceptable to travel to Hungary and also to nearby Bulgaria, where England are due to play a European Championship qualifier on June 9.

Football: Up front: He'll hurt Arsenal for the love of it, by George
March 15, 1990 is a day I will probably never forget. I was 23 years old, I had been with Arsenal for seven years and George Graham was the manager. The club had been turned around by George and had started winning trophies again. As I turned to walk out of George's office at Highbury that day, I heard him say: `Remember, beware the Ides of March.' He can be like that can George Graham. Luckily for me the move to City turned out to be the making of me as a player, but George's warning that day about the grass always being greener turned out to be correct for some of the others who left Arsenal - David Rocastle and Martin Hayes are just a couple of them.
