A club manager's job is full-time so I don't think that it can be combined with somebody doing that kind of role elsewhere.

It isn't a full-time job per se, but it could easily co-exist beside media work, ambassadorial duties, coaching etc in order to fill up someone's time.

I do think that it might be quite a dull job for a young manager at the peak of his powers though, and I have a degree of sympathy with the blazers when it comes to finding a suitable candidate.

It is perfect for the older manager who maybe doesn't have what it takes to manage the day in day out activity of club management.
