to a certain degree it still makes sense. helps to keep our best players, and also recruit other good players. i think it can be very important for that. so from a club management sense, it makes sense to want or strive for that. not saying we should.
How bout we get a manager that knows how to manage? Flexible, tactical and understands the league. No more Italian coaches
I want one that has the philosophy to throw on an extra attacker in the last 10 minutes of a cup competition when down 0-2 and you have 2 shots in the first 80 minutes. Oh wait, that is every manager except Sarri
Well I don't think we need to bring nationality into it. Di Matteo did well - y'know the whole champions league thing. Plus, Ranieri and Vialli and Ancelotti all did a fine job imho. A Marquee manager? Well we are a big event club. Changing the coaches has worked well for us over time. What has changed at the club? The answer is Roman. No I know he's not Italian. But the club has changed and Roman may be on his way out? And maybe he is not as passionate about owning a football club as he used to be?
The capacity to change and adapt. That is a big deal. Pep has it, but then he also had half a billionaire quid to spend. Pepe is now trying to buy up all the most talented English players. City are buying a feeder club in China. Seems like the Arab owners have the big appetite and football is just as a business after all and our brand loyalty doesn't matter so much.
