Says 1. M.
MacTAVISH
This afternoon the new 1956-57 soccer season gets under way but once again the start somehow lacks the traditional thrills, speculations and expectations usually associated with such an occasion.
The general apathy is due, in the main, to the fact that the Chinese clubs have been engaged in a heavy programme of games which has fill- ed in much of the summer period and which, during recent weeks, has seen a congestion of fixtures being played off.

Well, what makes a good manager? What are the requirements and paid for, for the job?
It doesn't always follow that a great footballer will make a first-class manager. Although, as Matt Bushy has proved, with Manches- ter United it helps a great deal. I can think of many Soccer stars who would not have the temperament for the managerial chair, which is— let's face it—the hot seat of soccer.
One of the most important aspects of the manager's job, I think, is the way he prepares his players before, and during every match. give you some examples.
