Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton were both great players, but they never became legendary managers, now a another legend of English football is experiencing the same situation

Former Man Utd player and England captain Bryan Robson left his job as Sheffield United manager after turning down a chance to move upstairs and leave first team affairs to a new man.

Management has been difficult for the once fantastic midfielder who used to dominate English football in the 80’s. He never managed to build a great team at Middlesbrough with loads of cash available. He couldn’t do much with Bradford City.

A new chance at his former club WBA looked promising, but after saving the club from relegation, he never managed to turn things around the next season and the Baggies was again relegated. A few weeks into the new season it was time to leave again.

Will this be the end of a long and difficult manager career for the 51 year old former England captain ?
