Well, I've worked for the past 22 years without a break, so I'm overdue one by his reckoning

Flipping managers who want a break. I have no idea about the life of a football manager, I guess it would be extremely stressful because of the fans/press/pundits etc... but I mean come on, its not like you fight fires every day or some other underpaid life risking job.

Hmmm... 2million, I need a break, far too stressful!

But anyway, as someone with no idea I can't really comment, but it seems a bit silly

Needs a break , well , for that kind of money i'd take any amount of sh*t thrown my way . I think managers worry about reputation far too much , afraid what kind of profile they will have if they fail and worry about their standing amongst their peers. I'd love to be able to say , ahh bollocks , im taking a 6 month break from all this but i cant , i live with it , so should they , they are in jobs everyone of us would kill for . Get on with it and stop moaning .

Possibley the new England manager? taking a break to miraculously return in 3-4 month ala Mr Jewell.

I doubt England will get Jose so they'll settle for another 'yes man' in charge.
