Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
Erm…. Random!
Yeah I don’t why understand we don’t sign Brazilian Ronaldo, Batistuta or someone of similar standing….Exactly... Benni is cool and everything, but he was never a standout player and his technique was iffy... Maybe he had really blossomed as a coach, but his name alone doesn't fill me with confidence
I'm obviously not being serious. But somewhere between having a football mad population of 60 million and a really pathetic national team lies a problem. And I think it's down to coaching. Now I hear one of our ex-players will coach United. One can hardly blame me for being apprehensive.We should be kept out of football?, just because our Men's National Team sucks?. C'mon man.
Found him. This is the guy, its him!We should be kept out of football?, just because our Men's National Team sucks?. C'mon man.
Great shout.Ronaldo replacement
Actually SA kinda suck at football compared to other African countries when you compare the resources available to you guys. Your women team are just about justifying the investment after playing second fiddle to super falcons for years.We should be kept out of football?, just because our Men's National Team sucks?. C'mon man.
He was technically good, but a lazy (and eventually overweight). It doesn’t really have much to do with whether he’s a good coach, does it? Klopp being probably the best example…Exactly...

The greatest coaches were not the world best or top players, some didn’t even play football.Yeah I don’t why understand we don’t sign Brazilian Ronaldo, Batistuta or someone of similar standing….
I agree. I'm just feeling apprehensive about it because of my ties with SA. Saying this - I don't know his coaching skills from shit and whoever made the appointment knows a helluva lot more than I do.He was technically good, but a lazy (and eventually overweight).

Arnold and Murtough FaceTimed him whilst pissed up in Barcelona and sealed the deal.How did this happen?
I think people have some strange idea of what a striking coach does, it’s not like you get the best finisher available as a coach and he somehow then passes on that finishing ability to a player, it’s about being able to make technical drills (which any elite coach can do) fun and keep the routine fresh. That’s the toughest part, getting footballers to apply themselves entirely day in day out to a very repetitive and mundane task. Read Ibra’s biography of how Capello made him become a great finisher, there’s no secret to it.Exactly...

Batistuta doesn’t enjoy football, he isn’t a fan of the sport despite being a godly striker.Yeah I don’t why understand we don’t sign Brazilian Ronaldo, Batistuta or someone of similar standing….
My first thought too, this should be interesting.Now lets see how Ronaldo likes being coached by him.
First team strikers… he’s going to be pretty lonely on the training ground
Ronnie hold up or back to goal play is bang average, if he can stop being a dick and be open to learning maybe Benni can teach him how to hold up the play and bring others into play, Benni at his prime was elite level at that.My first thought too, this should be interesting.
Although “the King” may have a point given their respective careers. I’m not really sure what Benni McCarthy has to teach Ronaldo.
How high up was he on “the list”? Be honest.
On my undelivered email to Murtough?How high up was he on “the list”? Be honest.
Is this now Ireland's greatest sporting achievement?
how big were those goal nets.
His CV is miles better than Van Persie. Not even close.Just an observation he looks quite fat now, doesn't he need to be active in trainings and yea other than his playing days what's his coach CV like, has he gotten this job on merit or another appointment because other options like RVP choose not to join!?
