    Maybe but he was suppose to leave 2 years ago, then last year and he is still here. I don't think clubs are willing to pay top dollar for Fernando. He needs a more catchy name like Fernandizinho.

    Since we are rebuilding, sell off all the valuable players and let the scouts raid south america again....

    Fernando wants to leave and correct me if I'm wrong but he signed an extension based on the promise that he would sold at the end of the year.

    BTW...did you hear that sound.....THUMP.

    I believe we hit rock bottom.

    You guys will win that last game. Well this year was a lesson for the over confidant PDC. His assessment of his players talent was way off. His assessment of the strength of Benfica and Sporting this year was also way off. Porto will make the necessary adjustments in the summer and will come back strong next year. I have no doubt. PDC had an amazing run but I wonder if his judgment is no longer where it needs to be. No one lasts for ever, I wonder when he will step aside.

    He isn't done just yet. Our selling policy bites us in the ass every 4 years. This was one of those years. PDC must of thought Lica or Josue could step in for Moutinho :confused: Then we ship off Lucho mid season. Another weird decision.

    He also handled the Vitor Pereira situation poorly and brought in a rookie coach when Porto didn't have a good team. This was a disaster waiting to happen. We could all see it except for PDC I guess.

    I don't think we will be back next year. Too much damage to repair and we will sell more players so not sure how we can remain competitive next year. I guess he will raid South America again and hope for the best.

    JJ will continue with the Benfica demolition machine so I can see benfica owning again next year. Sporting will have to sell some players so we have a shot at 2nd.

    Honestly, I think PDC is past it. Whether it's senility or not really giving a shit anymore, I saw since AVB left he's cared less and less. I couldn't believe he kept VP so long, as I'm sure he knew full fell that he was not a top quality coach, particularly with what he did in Europe. Frankly, I see Benfica on top for a while.

    Yeah, maybe PDC is losing his touch but he won't retire like this. He will go out on top. I would give his consiglieri Reinaldo Teles more power with the team.

    Doubt that, and trust me, despite being a Benfiquista, I have a soft spot for PDC. Dude is an animal, a true man. But LFV has worked things out well, I'll give him that. He has a great understanding of the business side and is slowly getting the feel for the sporting side of things. I see Benfica on top for a while, but of course, can never count out Porto. I'd rather they be strong as usual TBH, better for the league and Benfica in the long run.

    What's the deal with Quintero these days? seems like he only comes off the bench. is it performance related? off-field antics? not a fit in the formation?

    appreciate the feedback!
