Once Messi retires or at least becomes less of a key player in a few years time though their wage bill will be more in line with other clubs. The wage bill is only so high because they have to pay one the greatest ever his worth. They still made a profit on most of those dud's though. With...

Ah so now your back tracking it has gone from 'no unemployed manager with some reputation wouldn't accept a 6 month contract ever' to being 'the exception rather than the norm'. Make your mind up.

I'm not suggesting Hiddink or Rafa but I'm merely pointing out that when you said that 'no unemployed manager with some reputation wouldn't accept a 6 month contract ever' you were wrong and I have provided 3 examples which prove that you were wrong. :lol:

Rubbish Hiddink did it twice with Chelsea, Rafa did it with Chelsea and Heynckes did it with Bayern last year. This appointment just about sums up Woodward tenure, Manchester United have now been reduced to bringing in a manager effectively on loan from Molde whose only job outside his comfort...

I wonder if Jupp Heynckes fancies another short interim job.

What did Mourinho win last season then?

What they need to play most of all is winning football.

I think we have to get over this so called attacking style not all of Sir Alex's teams played swashbuckling, exciting, attacking football some of his teams did but some of the title winning teams were very pragmatic. I think it's a myth that United fans will only accept attacking football what...

I think that's a very lazy generalisation of the way Simeone's team plays during his first few years Atleti were very defensive but over time (on a relatively small budget) Atleti have evolved more each season into to a side that have plenty of attacking ability. As for saying Simeone is...

Diego Simeone is by a mile the best candidate if he wants the job then it should be his. But whoever get's the job they are going to need a lot of money to vastly rebuild the squad.

2-1 down with Mata, Martial and Pogba all sat on the bench. Time to go Jose.

They won the game so they were hardly taken to school by Morocco. And you do remember that most of those players were part of the Portugal team that won the European Championships 2 years ago?

Looking at the Portugal teams and Argentina team that started the last game. I'd still take an experienced head like Pepe over Otamendi or Mercado, Guerreiro is a better full back than Tagliafico. I'd have Mountinho over Perez & Carvalho over an aging Mascherano (who would be much better suited...

I'm not sure that individually they are superior to Portugal individually for me none of Caballero, Tagliafico, Mercado, Perez, Acuna, Meza or Mascherano as a midfielder (he's a centre back now and has been for 6-7 years) would get into the Portugal team.
