I'm sick of every good [or in some cases, unlike this one, average] player who retires, thinks he can become a successful coach. Vossy is an exception, no not based on the lions irresitable form, but his own playing style, he was a premiership captain [x3] and had the nousse needed in terms of patience and attitude. Every other guy coming out of the game can't simply replicate this, no way. Good luck Buckley.
You'd be hard pressed to find a person in the know that didn't believe Buckley could coach at the top level, regardless of what his own thoughts are on the matter.
Buckley aimed to do an apprenticeship role first, I think you'll find it is the clubs that will/are chasing harder than Buckley is searching, they seem to think he can become a successful coach and they are the ones who matter.
