The real tragedy is that over the past decade United have spent more money than any other club on the planet (yep, even more than Chelsea, City and PSG) and yet you look at the current squad and it's barely a top-7 squad in the PL.

Spot on imho. Pep's one "flaw" is that he is not as all-dominant in the CL as he is in the league (still "good" in the CL, just not "great"). SAF had the same problem btw. His CL performances were actually worse than Pep's. Coaches like Klopp, Ancelotti, Tuchel and even Zidane fare better in...

"Serial PL winner with the richest PL club - that's what you can and should expect" Since Pep took over City both United and Chelsea have spent more money than City (Arsenal is close, too). Do we expect Chelsea and United to be the all dominant teams of the PL? "One time CL winner with the...

The de Ligt case is one of the weirdest ones I can remember. Pundits and even his coaches always seem to criticize him for whatever reason, but if you actually watch him play, he is good to great in the vast majority of the games, very rarely has a underwhelming game and is clearly (!) the...

People always fail to realize that communication and chemistry with your teammates is way more important for defenders compared to being athletic freaks or highlight reel players. Dier is a guy who always gives you a performance between 5/10 and 8/10. Nothing fancy, but also never a really bad...

Nah. I don't think one has to bring up the United stint while recognizing he does an outstanding job with Austria.

Not a likable person in general if we go by interviews and has some very questionable religious views as well. He liked some radical islamistic posts a few months ago and then came up with "Oh, I didn't understand the language!" when people noticed it. Just a few days ago he once again posted...

Rangnick really does an outstanding job with Austria. Completely outplayed Germany a few months ago and now demolished Turkey 6-1 with some great football.

Integrity? Buying that world cup for 6,7 million was a work of genius, should get the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for that tbh. Ironically enough it's probably the least shady stuff if you look at the current state of football. His only fault was that he didn't just say "What do you...

Problem is that in order to succeed you either need 1) a manager with a clear vision/philosophy that gets every player to buy into it and give 110% each game 2) a well balanced squad with a superstar (!) leader in defense, midfield and up front Of course it's best if you check both boxes, but...

That's true. I might be an old fecker, but I for one really miss the 90s/early 00s in terms of football parity. You had a lot of interesting domestic leagues and a huge pool of teams that contended for the CL. Nowadays it's really just the PL due to their sugar daddy money (not trying to be...

But which Spanish clubs to be exact? Real Madrid, sure. Most successful club in the world for a reason. But then? Barca from 2006-2015 were incredible, but they haven't done anything since then. Atletico from 2014-2018, ok. Since then they haven't done anything. Sevilla are the Europa...

If you ignore any kind of context and only try to uphold your (strange) narrative, some bs like your post is the result. You throw around words like "pathetic" and "underachievers", while completely ignoring the bigger picture. In Germany clubs have to be financially solid and act responsible...

Nobody in their right mind denies that there are more top teams in the PL compared to the Bundesliga. It's only natural since almost every single PL club has some kind of sugardaddy and way too much money for Bundesliga teams outside of Bayern to compete with in the long run. However, there is...

That is just not true. He was good for one single season in the BL. Outside of that he has always been mediocre at best and a complete one-trick pony. His pace has been his one and only calling card (and he is really fast, make no mistake). Those limitations are why he barely gets any minutes...
