Enjoyed it then, enjoying it now. You've got that to look forward to when Pep jogs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 ^I dont know. Mancini..Pellegrini..Pep...its been a nice progression. Maybe it will stop with Peps departure or maybe his heir (probably in house) will keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Everybody is a complete novice at some point in their career. Pep was a complete novice as recently as 2007 and Pochettino in 2009. And wasn't that how liverpool had there most successful period, appointing a managerial novice but the outgoing managers assistant or staff member.

SantiSuk Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yes BB, but for every novice that turned out to be successful (say in the imagined list of "the hundred best ever managers in the Prem and its predecessor in the modern era") there are probably two or three non-novices). Go with the percentages I say! I voted against Arteta when Wenger left and stuck my hand up for Unai Emery who was not strangely being touted at the time - one of my better calls! Incidentally, I would regard Poch as a very desirable manager for any top 4 club despite his lack of trophies. I might even put Eddie Howe as borderline in that category.

Bredbury Blue Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 No it was Arteta. I think Kiddo just takes care of day-to-day things now like nipping down the newsagents and getting the lunchtime chippy order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being owned by a state that will use an English football team, one of the greatest ever football clubs as a pawn for its political and social message. Then there is the issue, there are states and then there is this particular state. I cannot comprehend how this could possibly happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
