Pffffft, you have to learn to toe the company line mate: It's "2nd place and one penalty kick from winning a European trophy".
Seriously though, our fans are fecking weirdos when it comes to managers. I doubt you get any Liverpool fans creaming themselves over Rodgers years later, despite the fact that he actually had them playing really good stuff for a period of time.
I expect if the next man fails, the ETH fans will be saying "3rd place, 3 finals and a cup". There's ways to dress up a-lot of our former managers as being semi-successful by carefully wording their "achievements" while totally leaving out any context.
It’s mind boggling, you’ve got leftback here backing him because my point was just 12 games, but missing the fact that it was 12 games with no injury crisis; and
no-one one watched the wretched side get twatted v Leicester, Liverpool and Watford can believe they were suddenly going to massively improve under Ole.
So even with a massive injury crisis and dog shit chaos ball, this failing manager at his worst is still better than the last guy at his worst. And at his best he managed a trophy and a better points tally.
So he’s fecking shite don’t get me wrong, but at his worst he’s better than Ole and at his best he was better.
Absolutely bizarre fans we have, imagine Liverpool fans pining for a bit more Souness?
