Don't be ridiculous. He has hundreds of hours in the latest season of Football Manager.

Can’t hurt just to out out the best 11 - let the front 3 / 4 have a bit more freedom and make sure that the MF have enough legs in them to close some of the spaces down. Just let them run around a bit.
Ryan mason was my assistant manager on my fm save with Tottenham. Brilliant at the gig
He's making the right noises. I know this was a few years ago but what he has said is what I'm expecting from Ryan.
Give the players confidence, don't throw them under the bus, don't make them scared of making mistakes, sort out disagreements behind closed doors.
I've just been chatting to my mate who worked with Ryan with the U18s, and he basically said the same thing.
We were both really pleased for him, one thing you can guarantee is that he will be passionate and make the players aware of what it means for the fans. That's the minimum I expect from professionals.
The intricacies of tactics are neither here nor there for me. The players are good enough if they can be motivated. A lot of the shit we have seen recently is because the players have been unmotivated.
Got that buzzed feeling back, can't wait for the Southampton game now.
Wasn't there a story that it was Kane and Mason that really threw themselves behind what Poch wanted to do and backed him against a small senior group of spoilers led by the disgruntled kaboul and Adebayor. He was apparently very involved in getting the team to back Pochettino. If so we owe him even more than most know. Good luck Ryan and Chris I feels so much better about my team.
Just imagine if we win the remainder, get into the CL and come home with a trophy. What scenes.
But honestly, if these players have any bottle in them, they won't roll out and play a match as it sounds the majority are opposed to this move.
Fuck these uber rich twats. Send them all to San Quinten.
Yes, Poch allowed Ryan to do his coaching badges with us.
There is a good relationship between Poch and Ryan. Even though he eventually moved in to Hull etc.
Good luck to him. Delighted to see him in charge even if it’s short term.
Sure did. Some skills he'll need to dust off to get this squad humming in a short time.
Poch had this to say on him:
"I cannot lie, I cannot keep a secret -- he is special," Pochettino said. "I feel when he took the decision to move to Hull it was a very tough moment for me.
"It was very difficult but you know that is football. We can split now but I think always the love that will always be there, impossible to ... you can split physically but the emotion you keep inside always."
I wouldn't be half surprised if he actually does well though.
Knows the players, knows the club and the expected playing style.
On paper, has been handed a incredibly talented squad, and maybe the fact he's so young can be advantageous.
He's going to listen to senior players who he trusts because they have the experience and I'm sure that there will be input from certain players about squad selection.
He'll criticise himself and then the team if things go tits up, but I doubt he'll ever try and single a player out like Jose. If he's smart and sees the opportunity he's going to learn from the criticism and adapt from it, not throw a temper tantrum.
most importantly I think the fact that he's friends with half the squad is probably going to be incredibly beneficial. Won't be surprised to see players running over to him and celebrating together.
There's a huge chance that this experiment also yields a new type of football team, one where a democratic style involvement of the squad exists.
Our winning odds wouldn't be any higher regardless of who we hire now, why not give Ryan a chance? Will prefer one of our loyal old boys like Ryan, King, rather than waste big money for a stop gap.
Would so love Ryan or King winning the cup for us. It will be emotionally overwhelming and so incredible for the fans.
There is a chance something like this will happen. We haven't gotten actual confirmation that Mason is the interim coach. Only that he is handling training right now.
If Sherwood shows up then it’s truly a parody.
Imagine if we win on Sunday with him beating Guardiola. It would be hilarious. Hopefully it happens as it will embarrass a fuckload of people.
Plus he’s a nice guy.

The lack of an apostrophe is annoying me more than it should...
