This is one of the worst takes i've seen on this sub - you've just written a bunch of nonsense to align with some agenda. My favorite line in this cacophony of bullshit is that Mourinho let the rot fester. This is the same guy that went to the...

You're missing my point - i wasn't intending to start a discussion about managers. It was in reply the poster who asked why it's so difficult for us to lure world class managers here but not other staff. I was making the point that you can say...

I think the issue is there's so few world class managers in world football. There's what, two in the prem out of 38? Arteta is starting to look like he might get there. Then you look abroad, at la liga and you look at the best three teams in...

I like the way the press are acting as if Liverpool have ruled him out rather than the fact he doesn't want the job. If it was manchester united the headline would be Alonso REJECTS UNITED job. Every article reads as if the liverpool job is...

Thanks - I didn't think i was misremembering Cole being incredible offensively. Agreed - i think people often let terry's lack of personality and horrible behavior colour their opinion of him as a player. He was immense for Chelsea and England...

huge fan of both so i agree! Maybe i'm misremembering how good cole was offensively? I seem to recall he had an insane cross on him, but could be wrong!

I'd say it is. And i'm Evra's biggest fan, Irwin was fantastic - and he'd certainly get the nod over Evra. But Ashley Cole at his peak was something else. He's the only player i've ever seen that shut down peak Ronaldo and his average level was...

Are people purposefully not reading the OP's post? Steven Gerrard and Suarez are both premier league greats. You can't have either of them. One's one of the best attacking mids in world football and the other is one of the best strikers in the...

Thankfully! The guy is the most boring human being in the world, after owen.

feck me - Robertson over Ashley fecking cole or dennis Irwin? Keane not being there is an absolute joke, but that entire back four fecking hell. Stones, VVD, Trent and Robertson ?! It's obviously between Neville/walker/Ivanovic -...

Oh my god, seriously you can't just change the conversation when you've proved wrong. We were literally discussing him being a premier league great, so instead of the face of all the evidence proving he's not you've gone "well no i'm talking...

The point is they don't. You simply cannot say he's a PL great because he won the premier league ONCE. That's absolutely ridiculous. You say people are downplaying his achievements - no, posters like you are OVERPLAYING them. He only achieved one...

Do you not understand why? Running city close isn't an achievement. Achievements are honors, don't get me wrong i think he's a great manager. But when he's being talked about as being one of the all time greats and you have liverpool fans...

No shit. You really don't do much to get rid of the stereotype of pool fans being fecking clueless idiots do you? "The players on United" - Grammar aside, you realize that Ferguson would have brought different players right? It's no secret he had...

Not sure if you're being obtuse on purpose? The entire point of my post is to show that the modern game hasn't improved in terms of fitness in that the united teams of past years would have no problem keeping up the modern game in terms of...
