I wonder if any manger has ever stayed in the lower leagues by choice IRL?
I can see it now, "sorry Mr. Chairman, but now I've got you promoted to Div 1 I'm going to have to quit and start again at one of the conference new boys. It's so much more _real_ down there" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Wasn't there a British Manager who resigned his job as PL leader manager to take a Division 3 job??? (5 to 10 years ago if I recall correctly)
Not that I recall. I can think of cases where the manager "retired" or "needed a break" and then realized they couldn't live without the stress so had to start again at the bottom, but I don't remember anyone resigning from a PL club explicitly to join a LL club.
After getting Blackpool promoted to the Prem on CM 00/01 I promptly resigned and took over the Everton job back in division 1... Not quite the same but a step in the right (wrong) direction!

Strangely enough I've won the Champ League (with an English club) without ever having won the EPL in any game.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Quite right. Brian Little and Peter Taylor spring to mind.
