Get him in for a junior coaching job whilst he does his badges and assess his capability, willingness and commitment to the role. Then take a view.
I'm sure at one point fans of Porto were dismissing the idea od appointing Bobby Robson's interpreter as their manager. Hughes had no management experience when he took the Wales job. My point being that all managers, good bad or indifferent, start somewhere. I like the idea of someone with the club in their blood getting a go, instead of the same old names always being linked, so why not try something different?

Because it would be based on hope or guesswork. And it's too big a job to be given to someone whose suitability to manage a club, let alone a Premier League club, you have absolutely no idea about.
His suitability would be ascertained by the interview process.
7/10 times it tends to work man with a stick.
