The best managers have a vision and articulate to their players. Clearly a massive dose of man management thrown in (who would want to perform for a person they don't like/get on with) but for me, Woodgate had neither. His pre-season press conferences were littered with "buzz words" and I was never convinced he had the intelligence, charisma or engagement to get his thoughts across to players. It almost felt like he had watched Liverpool and thought "we'll do that as well". Failing to understand that their style of play had been honed over many years with exacting recruitment policies to back it up.
Certainly naive, and judging from those soundbites about, arrogant as well - which suggests to me he might not learn from this going forward.
