Anelka appointed Shanghai manager

[Alex]

They had gone after Drogba too. Imagine they had both, which would they have made manager?? Lol

John Terry

I'm struggling to think of any player who would be least well suited to management than Anelka to be honest, Balotelli maybe?

Carragher?

[Fernandinho]

They would be up there with the worst two...

Nah, Anelka these days is a fairly quiet, religious and professional player who keeps his head down and stays out of trouble. He's been like that for a few years now. Very different to how he was as a youngster and very different to most of his ex-chelsea teammates. He's nothing like Balotelli

[Pablo]

I never meant to make a direct comparison to Balotelli, just that they'd be equally inept for different reasons

He's a world renowned sulky miserable *******, he seems lazy, and always comes across as very quiet. Can't see him being suited to management at all personally

Tony Adams?

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC
Nicolas Anelka has lost his first match as player-coach of Shanghai Shenhua, the final whistle was greeted with boos. Oh dear.

[Shaggy]

He awarded himself the captaincy too

[Tee]

[Pablo]

Did he award him self the MotM too?

Thinks he's ****in Malcolm X
