Yes but they had outside coaches. My own club have always had internal managers but they are usually not coaches so they hire in some expertise in that area. Has worked well at times.
I'm not a fan of paid Managers but I'm a realist and sometimes you have to appoint the best man. Players demand and expect this.

"Hands up who'd do it for nothing" would be an interesting litmus test.

Or hands up who'd do it , paid or not.

A serious commitment, players have high (too high?) expectations and sometimes expect some combination of Mick o'dwyer and Mickey Harte walking in.

I think most in-house managers are fairly well got by their own but very challenging gig at all levels.

But who decides on what the 'best man' is?

It would be interesting to see who people think have done a good job over recent years and why?
