Other than during his playing days, and restricted to his antics on the pitch, the man is a disaster.

Clearly he was never going to make punditry his career as he can hardly put a sentence together (or be understood) and so god know why people thought clever feet meant cleaver football brain.

The sad thing is that he will have been well paid during his time there, he will be paid handsomely to leave and some fool will agree a contract with him to rinse and repeat the disaster somewhere else.

It's the only industry on the planet where incompetence is not a handicap!

Why do club owners think that a great player will automatically be a great manager?
Time and time again it's been exactly the opposite - the most glaring example, I think, is the late, great Sir Bobby Charlton whose playing career surpassed most others but counted for nothing in his pretty unsuccessful manager career.
It MAY put a few more through the turnstiles in the early days; it MAY attract a few players who wouldn't otherwise have signed, but ultimately it's about the complex ability to MANAGE, not play.
Indeed, I think I'm right saying that most of the very successful managers through the years have had very modest playing careers...?
