Titel: How to Be a Football Manager: Enter the hilarious and crazy world of the gaffer
Auteur: Ian Holloway
ISBN: 9781472298614
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

The funniest and most entertaining sports book you'll read this year. Peter Crouch's How to Be a Footballer but for managers.

'Yeah, I'm all that plus a bag of chips'
'Come round my house and we'll have a fight on the front lawn'

'Who'd be a football manager?
It's an emotional rollercoaster: when you're riding it, you can't wait to get off; but once the ride stops, you want to get straight back on again and feel that adrenaline rush.
I've always known it's a privilege to be able to do what I did for 40 years as a player and a manager, and in this book I'm going to explain what being a gaffer is really all about.
It's a breathless journey from start to finish. So, fasten your seatbelts, put on your crash helmets, and prepare to enter my crazy world!'

Football management is like being a potato - you're never too far from the sack and everyone is constantly chipping away at you. It's not for the faint-hearted and unless you've got skin as thick as rhino and, more importantly, a wicked sense of humour, you've no chance of surviving.

Ian Holloway - aka 'Ollie' - has all the above and more besides. His press conferences are the stuff of legend. He's been there, seen it and done it in his 40 years as player and manager, and has been entertaining football fans on and off the pitch for most of his life. He's been head honcho at clubs in all four divisions in English football, experiencing everything from the giddy heights of taking Blackpool to the Premier League to fighting relegation from the Football League with Grimsby Town. There's never been a dull moment.

In the joyful How to Be a Football Manager, Holloway weaves a fantastically rich tapestry of hilarious anecdotes to reveal what being the boss is really like. This is not a handbook to tell you when to play a Christmas tree formation or throw on a false nine - it's about dealing with the ridiculous, fighting your corner and always having a comeback.
