What are you basing that on, his GCSE results? |  |

Do you know him personally?
Or are you one of his old school teachers? |  | | |

But then there's the footballing mind as opposed to the intellectual brain too.
He's worked well with the younger generation and seems to be popular, so if he can pass on his footballing knowledge and if they respect the guy because, I would guess, he can still turn it on a bit himself when he feels like it, then a coaching role with the first team doesn't seem too far-fetched.
He wouldn't need to run the club, just coach the players and give them some direction and belief. |  |

Didn't stop Boris Johnson doing ok jobwise (by ok, I mean getting the job, rather how well he's done the job) |  |

I've seen literally nothing to suggest intellectually "he's not very bright" relative to other football managers.
Scott Parker and Steve Gerrard are currently having successful managerial stints at the top of the game. Does KD speak any less intelligently than they do? [Post edited 19 Feb 2021 14:17]

I don't believe I've suggested otherwise.
Was literally separating the two.
My point was about his obvious footballing abilities and that the rest is not relevant. | |

I don't know if he is or not but based on the limited amount of interviews i've heard he speaks well and thoughtfully. |  |

I mean, yes, in my opinion. Scott Parker in particular speaks well, I think. Much more analytical, and you need that in a manager. | | | |

He went to Westbourne, education and Westbourne is an oxymoron   |  |

Bobby Robson left school at 15, to become an electricians apprentice. Son of a coal miner.
Instead of studying at school, A levels, degree he was playing football . Working just as hard as anyone else, if not harder playing, training, learning - to become one of the greatest managers. I’d rate his intelligence in so many facets of his life higher than so many academics.
I get it so much with the pub, kids studying various degrees come to work and often look down their noses. They’re generally useless, lack empathy and most often any shred of common sense. I guess you could say they’re thick compared to other staff that have trained, care about the job and can multi task. This is compounded by an inability to realise accept they’re useless, ask for help from people they falsely believe are beneath them.
The only way we’d know if KD is intelligent enough for the job is to see how he performs at his first managerial appointment. |  |

Just to add to that a bit really:
A chap I knew from my local played for Scowie's local team (over Stanton way ?) and said one of the reasons they all took notice of him was because he could still outclass each and every one of them on the pitch despite being several years their senior etc.
"What he can do with a ball..." matey was telling me with some element of awe.
So although I think a man who is older and had lots of experience throughout various levels of the game can make for a better manager, it's still good to have the odd coach about who is young enough to still do the stuff, if you know what I mean. | |

Good point, Scott Parker actually appears brain dead.
But a good manager and thats what counts. |  |

So, what school you went to determines how intelligent you are!? | |

Not sure you are listening to the same chap as the rest of us. I think KD always comes across as considered and thoughtful.
If I may, id suggest your opinion is based on a young KD who it is fair to see enjoyed life as a multi millionaire footballer and young man..... would you have done different? Id like to say I would have.....but if I'm being honest with his money and fame I'd have been the Nappa vid with him |  |

From hearing him talk about football. As mentioned above. Once again, I might be completely wrong - it's just an impression from hearing him speak. | | | |
