What the hell is going on in here tonight?!?
You ever watched 'The Crucible'? That scene where all the teenage girls go mental?

Capello is damaged goods now, dont think he has a shot in England the players won;t take him seriously - much like McClaren.
Would love Ancelotti and am sure he would happily walk away from PSG for a job in London. The guy is a winner and gets his teams playing some really good stuff. Plus a massive name in European football could attract top players.
Have said for a while if the links with Txiki Bergistrain (sorry on spelling) are to be believed then Rijkaard could be coming with him, that would be massive.
Also agree that I DO NOT want Martinez, I mean he got Wigan to play for like 7 games this season and just kept them up .... I don't think that good criteria if we don't want to continue with Harry

I think it would be Martinez if Harry left.
I wouldn't be against that. I would think he needs a bit of help with identifying the right level of player though.

Which itk was it who said Mourinho has seriously recommended AVB to Levy?
haha God got less accomplished in 7 daysAkqayid has said we've a massive 7 days in the twitter thread.
Day 1 - bye bye Harry
Day 2 - hello new manager
Days 3, 4, 5 - hello Vertonghen and co (gk, centre mid, winger, strikers)
Days 6, 7 - bye bye deadwood
If any post deserved such a trophy it'd be this one. That's quite optimistic lolIf Levy does think Redknapp's time is up, I'm putting money on Pep to take over. Is there a 'retardly optimistic' trophy?
You could argue it.
But sometimes you have to believe the evidence of your eyes as well as believing what the stats are saying.
The evidence of my eyes told me that we only played players other than the core of the team when players who formed the core of the team were injured, more or less - and that is not a rotation policy.
Hahahahahaha you tried to be the bigger man but then couldn't resist could you? That was genuine funny. If I wasnt on the iPhone I'd show you loads of posts where you've gIven people neg ratings for mentioning Dos Shitos, how do you think I even know what you're about?
Anyway, moving on, I still rind this hard to fathom if it is going to happen, and struggle to see why we've waited this long and lost out on potentially one of Levy's candidates. Seems a bit weird for Levy to save a few quid if he wanted to get Rodgers in. I'm not sad that we haven't though.
Don't get the Ancelotti loving either, made a right balls up of the season in France considering they had unlimited funds.
Not sure on AVB, someone made a good point in another thread about how he seems intelligent because of the way he speaks but he doesn't actually say anything of any note, and pretty sure his gravel voice would do me in after a while.
Looks like it's back to Moyes or someone from outside the league again then.
Pre Chelsea AVB yep, post Chelsea nope. The same sort of doubts I have with Capello in that the English related fuck up means he'll be fighting negativity from the start, especially in the media. And we shouldn't forget he really did make a pig's ear of things at Chelsea. They were awful. I'm sure he'll prove himself again elsewhere, but I wouldn't be too keen to see him here at the moment.
It'll never happen in a trillion years but Levy should offer pep a thousand pounds a second and give him a 10 year contract so he can work his magic from the youth onwards over a long period of time. Yeah.
Wasn't Deschamps linked as a Levy favorite?
And you watched enough of the other five clubs to be able to differentiate their 'policy' from ours?
Is it about snooker?You ever watched 'The Crucible'? That scene where all the teenage girls go mental?
Enough of you know about the NFL to usually hate the Patriots and Belichick. But he turned a shitty franchise into a powerhouse in a league that does everything it can to prevent dynastic teams from existing by implementing a system (and a bit of the friendly cheating )
One of the main tenants of his philosophy is to ship anybody with the idea that they actually matter to anywhere. Nobody matters.....not even Brady. The system is the star of the Patriots. Oh and every one of those players knows they can win every game they play. And the reason they lose? Is because the Giants now believe it more. But regardless of teams catching up, the Patriots will always be a top club with Belicihck in charge. Because they system and ethos matter. At the level of professional sport, the differences in ability is miniscule and anybody holding onto some idea that personnel makes a big difference is living in a distant past.
By the way, Belichick is the kind of guy that would sale Modric to Arsenal and tell us to fuck ourselves when we whined about it (and I would whine). He'd then go out and shut us up by winning.
So while too many English clubs toil under the idea of personnel, Borussia Dortmund just got rid of their best player to a bigger club and won a double. The system matters. Lyon won 7 straight titles as a provincial club until they forgot about the system, but after watching Lille and Montpellier, who have system win titles, they are returning to their roots. Udinese continues to sell and compete in Italy because the system matters. And Barcelona became the preeminent club in the world over a 35 year period by incrementally putting more and more faith in a system.
Imagine how far we could go with a system considering we are one of the 15 richest clubs in the world. It's actually both inspiring and depressing.
Just have a word with the sniper who keeps gunning him down every time someone tries to tackle him. Ping a few around his feet, whenever he steps away from the left, and he'll soon get the message.And some kind of moving tether, attached to a rail along the left touchline, to pull him back whenever he tried to wander to far

He wouldn't replicate it on all probability because we don't have several of the worlds best players, and he has set a high bar with two CLs and three Liga titles. However, he would improve us. Before him Barca were a collection of some wonderful individuals. He brought them the organisation, work ethic and teamwork which has allowed them to play the precise, beautiful football they've played under him. So while I don't want Redknapp out, I do believe that we'd be trading up for guardiola. Anyway, it'd never happen.

I could totally see Levy going back to a DoF.
