Fashion rule number 1: Number take anything from your wife's wardrobe.
I didn't miss your point, I just think you're far too willing to discount 'winning' as an important criteria.
Even if you want to dismiss what Mourinho won here as irrelevant, they are the sort of trophies that Klopp has consistently failed to pick up. In fact, I'd argue that the clubs that Mourinho has won trophies at recently (i.e. us and Chelsea) are clubs that are pretty similar to clubs that Klopp has been in charge of (i.e. by no means the best team in the country), but Mourinho (for all his numerous other faults) has continued to find a way to pick up trophies whilst Klopp hasn't.
That could all change come May (god forbid), but until it does I find it very hard to believe a club like Madrid who are seriously obsessed with winning would not look at Klopp's record of winning things and have serious reservations, 'rebuild' (which, again I'm not sure if Klopp doesn't get too much credit for) or not.
The aftermath of success at both Chelsea and Madrid doesn’t match with your assertions. Fact is that Mourinho is better than most at building long lasting foundations for success.
“Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the entire engine”
Zidane on selling Makelele and buying Beckham. Not surprised he is a big fan of Kante and Pogba. Different players yes but also players who both have high engines and tremendous physical impact on games.

Those jeans are absolutely shocking.
In 2019 a top club would rather hire Klopp than Mourinho.
I'm certain of it.
I'm certain of it.
You won't be wrong though. Zidane show he's an average manager that motivated the best team in Europe full of divas that were finally under a manager they respected. Sure his achievement in the CL was spectacular but he had an awful lot of luck too.
His return is gonna end terribly because Madrid fans have no patience. A rebuild could take 3+ years and within that time they'll need an entire new XI to replace Marcelo, Ramos, Kroos, Modric, Bale, Ronaldo (yet to be replaced), Benzema and add quality throughout the squad. By the time the rebuilding job is done Barcelona will still be the best team in Spain.
They better get ready to spend big. The market is a different animal now than it was when they were building their x3 CL team.

True, but Inter has more CL than Juve... same of us, more european and intercontinental cups than us, they are in a period of transition, but the property is very rich, we will see in the coming years
That's seriously discomforting to look at. It's like someone photoshopped woman's legs on Zidane, yet it's real. My brain is having serious problems comprehending that. What the hell!

Aaaaah... I'm so relieved that Perez decided to call Zizou. My second favourite club is Real Madrid and Barcelona is a close 3rd but i go with Real because most of our players have gone and done well there. For example, RVN, Becky, Ronaldo and so on. They have been struggling to have a shape since Zizou left and haven't been able to cope without Ronaldo. Zizou left at the wrong time for them but he's returning to better things at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are gonna rule Spain again now!! Back off Valverde!!
Clearly he's wearing these jeans to show he has the balls to come back to this job.

I'm not sure about the context that you are using here. Inter got two of their CLs in the sixties. They are not in transition they are currently in what is normal for them.
Wow, what a strange photo...

Like some sort of mythical creature - the upper body of a handsome, suave, middle-aged man, and the lower body of a generic teenage girl walking around a mall with her friends.
Incredible.
I think that a sacked manager shouldn't be judged by the results achieved by his successors tbh. I thought it was silly when Ranieri and Mancini tried to do that with Mou (Chelsea and Inter respectively) and it would be silly to do that with Mou at Chelsea and United.
A- No one can distinguish were the sacked manager's contribution end and were his successor's contribution starts.
B- If we take the United experience as an example then all Mou's 'good work' was set to go to the shitters with top players like Pogba, DDG and Martial rumoured to be pushing to leave the club unless Mou was shown the door
Therefore, in my opinion, a top manager can only be judged as a great squad builder if he builds a successful side for the future and then he actually leads it to success. I mean what's the point of us spending 400m to build a decent squad only for the manager to have to rely on donkeys like Fellaini because any player with a shred of talent refuse to play for him?
The CL is Juventus dark beast. Its a bit like Thanos for the Avengers, statesmanship for Boris Johnson or any trophy for Spurs. I lost count of how many times Juventus reached the final only to bottle it. That doesn't mean that Juventus aren't way bigger then Inter are. Its like saying that Forest and United pre 2007 are equal to Nottingham Forest.
They already have replacements for most of those players you mentioned in their squad right now barring Ramos. Bale is barely playing as it is and they probably could’ve easily sold him in any of the last 2 summers. All they need is 1 or 2 galactico signings (like Mbappe) and they’re set to go again. Eriksen would be a nice acquisition too to ease Modric into a lesser role as he ages or to even replace Kroos. Their troubles are greatly overstated. It wouldn’t take 3+ years for a rebuild. They don’t have a squad full of players like fellaini, Darmian, young, smalling, past-it Rooney (when he was still here) etc.

how quickly will we be linked (again) to bale?
Pure masterclass from Zidane. He went from almost zero coaching experience at the highest level to become the most successful manager in recent decades in 3 seasons. Then he saw that the club management was insufficient to continue their success, so he gently stepped back and dodged the bullet. Now the Real Madrid board seem to have realized that their squad needs overhauling, and Zidane can step gently back into a severely underperforming team that has bags of money to use in the summer transfer window. If the rumored transfer budget of 300 million is somewhat reliable, I can see him taking them back into success next season.
So clubs now want a manager who would feel they are at home.
It's all Ole's fault I say

They obviously will spend big in summer. No way they will stagnate.
Wow. I don't usually care how people dress. What they do/bring to the table matters more. But that just doesn't look right. Talk about a fashion victim. (cue the slim jean look now ruined, back to baggies yay!)

I feel like Kante and Hazard have more of a chance at a Madrid transfer, then the two of Pogba and David.
But I doubt that's the type of players they need, I can see them pushing for Neymar or Mbappe and a Striker

Luke shaw would be proud.
What? I never saw the bottom part I just saw the upper half and thought, hmm well i used to wear those in my teens.

This photo is even better, showing how out of place it looks.
It will end in tears.
I hope he does well because I like him as a coach. But no Ronaldo to paper over cracks.
If rumours are to be believed and they’re going to go after Neymar and Mbappe then I’ll eat my words but I can’t see Real being allowed to throw the cash around now there are the likes of City and PSG to compete with.

Just enough time for Zidane to become the next national team coach 
or so I hope...
or so I hope...He can come back as the saviour which would cement his legacy in Madrid history.
Your top three clubs are Man Utd, Real Madrid and Barcelona? You must’ve had it tough.
It's actually shockling the amount of people here who actually believe he is incompetent and/or managed to win 9 trophies in 2 years and half just because of Ronaldo
The good old "Stick to Fifa/FM" has never been more true than when reading this thread.

It will end in tears, those jeans are far too tight for a man his age.
His legacy is surely already cemented. Coming back now risks tarnishing it if anything.
Dont like this.
Think Zidane will come for Pogba and the papers will link him away all summer long
Worst case scenario is a Pogba - Bale + cash swap
Surley we wont even think about doing that.

Who's your fourth favourite team? Milan or Juventus?
You can spot who spent too much time in Italy.

Well, people have questioned whether the success was down to him or the great players they had.
Now, he can rescue Madrid from the doldrums and if he's successful, then there would be no question.
Can't really blame either if they decide to go play for a legend and in easier league.
Here they are currently fighting for top 4 spot and their managers are past their best or unproven (I'm looking at you Poch)
