Earlier his season, I was talking to a retired manager about what had made him keep working towards the end of a career when boxes had been ticked and good money had been earned.
'I needed something to get me out of the house,' he said, bluntly.
Another I once asked the same question to had said, for him, it had indeed been largely about the finance. Credit for the honesty, I guess.
I was wondering about this when reading reports yesterday of Watford's defeat at Crystal Palace.
