When Will Jesus Get Sacked?

lol sick retort. Your analysis literally contradicts yourself. Your definition of experience changes to whatever suit your ridiculous argument.

Why wouldn't I put AVB together with Jesualdo. Both have done nothing of note outside of porto when they were both gifted world class squads. Only difference is Jesualdo has won a lot more.

Don't understand why losing a european final is such a great milestone btw. Nobody gives a shit or remembers a loser.

 

I'll bite back because your self-inflation, based on lack of coherent reasoning, should not be encouraged.

My analysis contradicts itself? Nah, it's your inability to reconcile the opposites. You hear me say experience is important, and your mode of thinking makes you assume that I consequently source experience as the end-all-be-all of success in every case. Your inability to understand what I'm talking results in you thinking I have a varied definition of experience but it's really quite simple, constant, and right here. Straight from Google.

Experience: practical contact with and observation of facts or events

What is varied is levels and types of experience people acquire, as each person's intelligence and reaction to said experiences varied among people.

Your further inability to discriminate makes you believe that AVB, the youngest winning manager of a European competition at the age of 33, who has also coached top teams like Chelsea, Tottenham & Zenit... you think that is equal to a man like Jesualdo Ferreira, who has Panathinaikos as the most prestigious club he coached outside of Portugal, a man who never even touched European success, and had to wait until he was an old man to reach his max achievements. Which was to win the Portuguese league, a task that was already beneath AVB at an age most players hadn't retired at.

If you think those two people are on even keel, click that "X" in the top right corner of the screen, go outside to re-evaluate the way you think and hopefully do something about changing your life. It can't be going all to well if the above is representative of your general thinking.

 

AVB was given one of the best squads in the history of the Portuguese league.

How did his experiences at Chelsea and Tottenham go? Did he get fired very quickly or were they extended stays? AVB is trash.


Experience: practical contact with and observation of facts or events

That describes every manager in the history of managers.

 

AVB was a massive disappointment here in England. Trying to play a high line with John Terry, Ivanovic and Alex was absolute suicide

 

Yeah? What does every other top manager have in their squad? Does Guardiola not have the best squads in club history time and time again? Are you invalidating his entire career as a result?

Are you also discrediting the ability of a 33 year old manager to come into a club like Porto and coach, as you said, world-class players, to that type of success? You think that just falls together? Are you aware of how many teams have existed with top individual players, but overall made a team that was less than the sum of their parts? Do you know why that is? You're not only unaware, you wouldn't even attempt to understand or know why that is.

And there you go on some inane argument, unable to reconcile your thinking, about AVB's absolute quality as a coach, when the basis of the discussion was AVB vs. Jesualdo, not AVB vs. All Coaches. If AVB is trash, then Jesualdo is horse crap by comparison. Jesualdo Ferreira could only dream of failing at Chelsea.

 

Yeah, Chelsea and Tottenham to name two. You know, those clubs AVB got fired from.

JJ's interview was funny today, more of his classic excuses. Apparently the squad isn't in his image, but in the image of Sporting.

Funny, I always thought Sporting's image was play the youth and don't make very many signings. Seems to be the opposite of what we're doing.

 

Nice - but no thanks. There are better coaches.

 

Bas Dost out of the match vs. Moreirense and is a doubt for Porto.

Thanks JJ!

 

Seriously though. 8m a year for this? Only way I see him saving his job is winning the cups.

 

Call me cynical, but I still don't see it happening lol

 

He's done. Over done.

 

While i agree hes done, still dont know who we would get whos better tbh

 

If Sporting finish second and qualify for the UCL, he'll still be in charge next season.

 

I have a feeling your right. Also if he goes far in the EL and wins the portugal cup.

But i think another 3rd place and early exit from the cups would be the end.

As for who to replace him? Plenty of coaches. Any young coach who is not stubborn, knows how to rotate players...

 

Started thinking of some names for potential replacements:

Portuguese

Paulo Fonseca (Shakthar Donetsk) - has a good squad which dominates the domestic league in a similar context to our own league, and had really good results in Europe.

Paulo Sousa (Quanjian) - he's in China but could be tempted to come back for one of the big 3.

Miguel Cardoso (Rio Ave) - made Rio Ave into one of the most attractive teams to watch this season. Kind of fell off a bit due to losing a couple of key players (Ruben Ribeiro being one of them)

Other Nationalities:

Luis Enrique - May seem out of our league, but then again we're paying 8M for JJ... Would try to implement a philosophy at the club

Laurent Blanc - Has been out of a job since 2016, but an experienced international coach as well.

Marcelo Bielsa - Kind of lost his way in France, but his style of attacking in our league against 85% of our teams would be refreshing.

 

Blac sucks tbh. And as fun as Bielsas squads are to watch, he never wins anything.

Fonseca would be cool but Sporting would be a atep backwards for him. Cardoso seems like the most realistic target.

The way weve been playing all season i think its pretty obvious were gonna battle braga for third. Weve been barely scraping by all season and our luck looks like its finally running out. No chance in euro. All other cups are irrelevant. JJ is done.
