I haven't said it's easier. All I've said is bottom line it's a job for assisting. An apprenticeship if you like. No matter how you look at it. It's very rare assistants succeed their superiors. Furthermore I just said experience is not paramount for that job. Natural talent is. That is how a Mclaren could get the assistant job at United with little top flight experience, without flopping while a Jim Ryan and Phelan with all their experience flopped miserably.

No way. McClaren was plucked form obscurity and did a stellar job for us. At assisting. Granted experience is good. But IMO it's just a bonus. Natural ability matters a hell lot more. A man like Carlos has it in spades. Along with the experience which makes him special.
[quote=devilish;4811936]His experience may look minimal compared to Carlos but he did had loads of experience which included avoiding sure relegation with Waalwijk (where he stayed there for 4 yrs) and winning the Dutch cup with Roda (2 years). 6 years of experience at managerial level. v Mclaren had an even worse CV. Yet eh was superb here.

I am not convinced at all! If Cantona has the natural ability of a good coach/manager. He would be more than ideal a candidate in Fergie's eyes if a Carlos ever left. Of this I have no doubt.
Because, seriously, if men like Keane and Southgate could jump straight from football into managing Premiership clubs with decent results. I fail to see how being an assistant would be so hard for a Cantona if he has the outstanding ability required for such a job.
