Any way to change subject, Ryan Giggs has made his first change at Man United, he is replacing the boardroom with a bedroom...
God I hate Marquez. How many years has this guy been playing, he'll never change. It's basically the same thing he did to Cobi Jones in 2002.
Mourinho pulled a mastery yesterday, vintage tactics from the old italian book. His attitude really makes me dislike him, but i for one cant disagree on him being the best around.
This is really about the only thing you can fault him for. To downplay his accomplishments is just outright bias as far as I'm concerned.
Not saying his tactic didnt work, because it did. But it was a 0-0 draw, they barely have an advantage
No guys it's fine. Madrid didn't get to CL QFs in god knows how long until he came , even though they always spent money. clearly not an accomplishment. clearly not.
So i went to look at the numbers , since everyone here claims that "Everyone can win with money , he should try a lower team!". so here's his numbers. Porto: Porto had never won the Uefa Cup / Europa League. Porto hadn't won the Premiera Liga since 98/99 . Porto hadn't won the Champions League since 86/87 . Chelsea. Chelsea's last First Divison / Premier League title (and only one!) , was in the 54/55 season. something like 50 years before he won it , twice in a row and a 2nd place. Chelsea had gotten to the Champions League semi-finals only once before , the year before he came , and he got Chelsea to the semi finals twice during his reign. Inter. Inter didn't get to the Champions League semi finals since 2002/03, their last Champions League trophy was from the 64/65 season. Real Madrid. Real madrid didn't get to the Champions League semi finals since 2002/03 , and didn't get to the quarter-finals since 2003/2004. They also hadn't won La Liga since 2007/08 , and on top of that , their last Copa Del Rey trophy was from the 92/93 season (The year i was born! 21 years ago!)
Not the biggest advantage but he did better than Atletico's last two opponents. Atletico 1 - 0 Barca Atletico 4 - 1 AC Milan
Parks the bus and plays long ball with a billion dollar squad. Gets lucky every so often and people label him a genius, only those that listen to his own ego inflated drivel... So tell me why you guys would want him so bad after the season Rudi had? That's just unbelievable!
You do realize we won zero titles this year? They don't give trophies out for second place. And for the record no one ever talked of replacing Rudi. But you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch, we won nothing this season. All we did was come second in a two horse race.
Question: Can someone please tell me what is the dollars/euro amount clubs receive for making the UEFA/Europa & Champions League?
I don't understand your negativity though. Last year like everyone else on here you had reached breaking point. Now we win and the other week you tell us we've only done well because the standard is so poor. Can't you just be happy? The post I'm talking about was khaos saying how much he would do to get him here which you agreed with.
It depends on your country's tv rights , how far you go into it , how you are doing in your league , a lot of factors.
... it's not negativity. We're not downplaying Rudi. We , as i understand it , are just saying that Mourinho , mr winning everything like it's no one's business , is better. he's shown it. Rudi is still an amateur if you compare them.
I thought there was a set rate across the board. Anyway, do you know how much Roma will receive for earning a place in the CL?
I'm very happy with the results. Ecstatic if you will. The only thing that still burns me about this season is being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by a mediocre Napoli side and that fat sausage waiter (speaking of lucky managers).
If Mourinho would come to the club that would be fantastic if Rudi were leaving. All things being equal I would prefer Rudi to become our Mourinho or better yet our Sir Alex than have Mourinho here.
Mourinho doesn't give 2 shits about Roma, he made that very clear when he coached Inter. I appreciate him for his coaching abilities regardless of the budget he has. A good manger but I would not want him in place in Rudi. We are on a steady path with Rudi.
