If he wins us another European Cup he can be as crap and clueless in the final as he likes.

Thank goodness sanity's arrived!

My opinion he'll only win us another European cup if he is doing it on FM and then only if he cheats

Oh Feck-not FSW please! He is mad as a hatter. We need a good communicator with a stable temperament.
It's amazing what the British press can convince folk.
Eh?
Why on earth would you think he's unstable?

He didn't get as far as he has in the game by being a mentalist.

A man who attempts to send out a team of 12 players for a second half could be termed a bit of a div.
Yeah, maybe. If it wasn't the champions league final and he wasn't frantically devising a plan to come back from 3-0 down against AC Milan.

Your counter-argument isn't the greatest - I called him a div and your defence is to make him sound like both a crap tactician and a headless chicken.

FWIW I don't think he's either.
In fairness, your argument wasn't that great in the first place.

You make him sound like he doesn't know how many players should be on the pitch. If he hadn't gone on to win the match and became a European champion that same night, it might have been a point worth making. Just.

No, the two are exclusive. Had it remained three-nil to Milan or if Liverpool had scored nineteen goals in the second half, Benitez still would have tried to put 12 players on a football pitch. Being able to count and being able to coach don't have to go hand-in-hand. I wasn't saying the mistake means he's a crap coach, merely that it was a divvy thing to do.
It's like calling Isaac Newton a divvy for sitting under that apple tree.

Ancelotti is the only manager I can realistically see as possible that would cause universal delight. Unless it is the young guy from Porto?

it would cost lerner around 13 mil to get him from porto

if MM is being told the truth by his sorce then it has to be  carlo,

people mention moyes and say him, im sorry but i wouldnt want moyes over rafa or carlo i cant see past those to

I'll say this much Ozz, for someone as generally discreet and respected as MM to use the word "meltdown" is really sticking his neck on the line. Even though rightly he's given no indication as to who that might be he must have some impression from his contacts that the name carries some gravitas. Though I'd be content with Benitez, it would be somewhat of a let down given that comment, so you have to think they are at least talking to someone of considerable standing.

Eddie Hitler - longshot but it just feels right.
Richard Richard as his assistant, Spudgun as first team coach and Dave Hedgehog as DOF. Fuck Hiddink, Fuck Ancellotti and Fuck the rest, just make this happen!

Don't get me wrong, if we were lifting any pot, Peter Andre could be calling the shots as far as I'm concerned. But like I say, I take the point and I'd rather get back to Villa and their future manager.
