I'd love it if he could come back as our manager some day. I feel like he was smarter than Toby (no offence to him), and that's one of the reasons Sanchez + Jan worked well enough but Sanchez + Toby didn't."He plays on the right..... He plays on the riiiiiiiiiiiight"

Me too...... Toby was never as good without him either (before or after).
Dunno if he's every indicated about a wish to manage; but I could well imagine him walk away from the game and do just doing something else instead.
Made me feel physically sick reading that piece....
Thankfully it'll likely never be allowed to happen again. The regulations we have now may feel like a pain at times; but players need protecting from themselves (and their managers).
It was the medical team who (stupidly, with the benefit of hindsight) recommended that he was okay to continue. That's what you have 'medical experts' for. No, Poch is neither an idiot, nor a scumbag. The medical team however...
It's one of those fucked up situations where the most educated party has only the 3rd most clout in that situ............... In many cases all it would take is an "I can do it, gaffa" from a player and the manager will over-ride the medic.
It's a big reason why the modern protocols were so desperately needed.

This here is another reason I love Ange Postecoglou. The way he reacted to the head injury to Cuti Romero made it clear as day that the human being not the footballer was his 100% priority. Hate that Jan suffered like this. Our medical team has been a concern for me for some time.
Yeah it's not a good look is it.
Someone needed to have the balls to over-rule the manager, when it comes to medical and looking after player's welfare that's when the manager just needs to take a back seat and listen to the pro's.
Our medical team didn't come across in a very good way in the documentary.
It's a tough gig when you've got the likes of Jose or some dino-prick like Warnock bullying you.
Football needs to get to grips with this issue. It’s a fucking disgrace.
Poor Jan 
Foootball is getting better with it. This incident was four years ago.
Looking back, it's crazy he was made to play on after this.
I honestly think this was the start of the resentment Jan has of Pochettino
Yeah he does not like him at this point and it's clear. Shame really. Oh and he really hates Chelsea.
