Their manager might be worth adding to the list if a vacancy does appear at VP.
His wiki page suggests that he has improved every club that he has managed.

I got my tickets for the final a few weeks ago.

Just wish it was villa in the final and that we had taken this more seriously the few years we qualified. Hoping it'll be a good game.

Surely it's good to see the underdogs getting far in competitions.

Like Blues winning the Carling Cup

And Stoke reaching the FA Cup final
On our expense, you know.

As for Stoke, they might be facing us if not for Houllier's "rotating policy".

And another sad reflection of the state of European football generally

Schalke get to a CL semi, Spurs to a CL quarter final and Braga to the final of UEFA cup or whatever they call it now

Dear me....

??

Obviously, in any knockout competiton it's luck of the draw.

Arsenal are better than Schalke but they drew Barca (their own fault for finishing 2nd in their group to Shaktar Donetsk)

Surely it's good to see the underdogs getting far in competitions.

Like Blues winning the Carling Cup

And Stoke reaching the FA Cup final

Better than the same old big teams playing each other...

I can't believe you think either of those examples are good things.

Blues - say no more.
Stoke - hideous anti-football team, whatever their fans say.
