About this listen
From the post room to the board room, everyone thinks they can be the manager. But how do you manage outrageous talent? What do you do to inspire loyalty from your players? How do you turn around a team in crisis? What’s the best way to build long-term success? How can you lead calmly under pressure?
The issues are the same whether you’re managing a Premier League football team or an FTSE 100 company.
Here, for the first time, some 30 of the biggest names in football management reveal just what it takes. With their every decision, remark, skill, and success or failure under constant scrutiny from the media and the fans, these managers need to be the most adroit of leaders. In The Manager they explain their methods, give examples of lessons they’ve learned along the way, and describe the decisions they make and the leadership they provide.
Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue for managers in any walk of life and, in their own words, shows how the experts deal with the challenges they face in an abnormally high-pressure environment. Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for football fans, The Manager is an honest, accessible and unprecedented look at the day-to-day work of these high-profile characters and the world of top-level football management.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The reading in what could be best described as a sat nav voice being replaced for a fluent reading.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would not have.What didn’t you like about Kyle Munley’s performance?
It was comparable to a cheap sat nav, football teams pronounced incorrectly.You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It was factual.Any additional comments?
I would probably recommend this book to purchase and read however the reading was truly awful. Filled with fact and content for the football enthusiast, but remaining focused near impossible. The man could not even say Celtic frustrating at best.Awfully read

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Irritation.Any additional comments?
Much as Kyle Muley annoyed me, its not his fault cause that's his voice. He was wrong for this book. The person who produced or directed this audiobook did a terrible job.Astonishingly bad choice of narrator

What disappointed you about The Manager?
A narrator who mispronounced names with shocking regularity. Bobby Carlton (not Charlton) Sow-ness (not Souness) Paris Saint Ger-main (not ger-man) keltic (not Sell-tic). Awful!Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Munley?
Anyone who knows the first thing about football!What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger- there is someone who has been deprived of a narrating job.Decent content. Abysmal narration.
