Interesting to see how he gets on and delighted it'll get the grumpy sod off the BT Sports couch for a while.
Has never come across as showing manager ambition from what little I've seen or heard of him since he retired. Can easily see this going the same way as G Nev's managerial career but good luck to him.
I agree. Never seemed as intelligent off the pitch as on. Reminds me of Zola;gifted and wonderful to watch as a player but s a manager? Not convinced.Just can't see this working. Good luck to the guy though!
Possibly. I wish him all the best but he doesn't strike me as a leader of men. As a player he did his job to an exceptional level but he never looked interested in captaincy. He's a Legolas rather than an Aragorn if you will.As much as I loved Scholes I don't think I'd want him as my manager, doesn't seem very motivating
There were a few articles about that a few weeks ago when the rumour started but non from what I read actually said if it was allowed or not.Is this allowed considering he owns shares in Salford?
Difference being Gary Neville was managing in a top league (La Liga) as well as in a foreign language and in a new country. Scholes is managing in English League Two. Nonetheless, I'm predicting Scholes won't be very good as a manager.He loves Oldham and is possibly the most technically gifted player to play for United. I wouldn't judge Paul on how he talks on bt Sport, yeah he's quiet but Gary Neville is a better pundit and look how that turned out. Paul will want a certain attacking style but he'll want a hard nasty side too, think he will surprise a few.
I hope he smiles a bit as manager, or his grumpy demeanour would be Mourinho mk2 which I imagine won't go down well. Fans like to see a friendly face on the touchline, not a perennially brooding Dark Lord.Interesting to see how he gets on and delighted it'll get the grumpy sod off the BT Sports couch for a while.
They are definitely both different situations but Neville was awful. He still coordinated sessions and had had a translator, excuses. Paul knows Oldham and league two is going to be a different prospect but why not, think he'll do well.Difference being Gary Neville was managing in a top league (La Liga) as well as in a foreign language and in a new country.

That’s why it was a delayed decision to appoint; he had to be approved by the FA which has now happened.Is this allowed considering he owns shares in Salford?
According to the club, Scholes still has a 10% stake. Seems all Salford did was get him to resign as a director so they could say there was no conflict of interest.That’s why it was a delayed decision to appoint; he had to be approved by the FA which has now happened.
I also suspect that Beckham bought some of PS shares but couldn’t say that they were his because it would have preempted the announcement from Oldham
Smart move as both could play each other next season.According to the club, Scholes still has a 10% stake. Seems all Salford did was get him to resign as a director so they could say there was no conflict of interest.
Ah I see, that makes sense tooAccording to the club, Scholes still has a 10% stake. Seems all Salford did was get him to resign as a director so they could say there was no conflict of interest.
Mick Priest.Anyone know who his assistants are going to be?
The people that played with him seemed to like him ok. A lot of ridiculous assumptions are being made because of a television persona.Seems like most people have written him off based on his punditry, which is odd to me.
He might not appear like a children's entertainer in interviews, but that doesn't really matter, there are plenty of boring successful managers.
God only knows how he'll actually end up doing, hopefully well!
Yeah looks like his one of those who would good as part of the coaching staff but not the boss. Then again he could still do better than Roy and GaryAs much as I loved Scholes I don't think I'd want him as my manager, doesn't seem very motivating
The lesser ones of course. We already have 5 on loan there, 1 at Oldham. Our academy isn't exclusively filled with PL level talents.He's on a hiding to nothing at Oldham, no money and a poor squad.
I don't even see how loaning United players will work, is it really good for their development to drop down three leagues.
