RUUD GULLIT's MANAGEMENT TIPS

  1. Try to score some goals.
  2. When you pass the ball try to pass it to one of your own players.
  3. If you score more goals than the other team you will win the game.
  4. When you foul the other players do it when the referee's not watching.
  5. Let Graham Rix do the training at the training ground.
  6. Let Graham Rix do the coaching on match days.
  7. Make sure your salary is paid net.
  8. Don't sign bald, back stabbing Italians.
  9. Play yourself in the team occasionally even though you're over the hill and living on past glories. The other players will make you look good.
  10. Generate team spirit by making sure your squad is big enough so that nobody gets more than two consecutive first team games.
  11. Keep your job or you can't manage ßµ¿¿*® all.
  12. Don't imagine that massively rich Italian clubs will be queuing to sign you as player manager. They won't be.
