Where have I said that? All I said is that you can't really compare Maldini with Fletcher and I gave my reasons as of why. For the rest, I can't really argue pro or cons. On the other hand there are very few people who managed to get 2 promotions in few months. So either the guy is a genius or the system is flawed. I let individual people to decide which based on how successful United had been since SAF left.
Agreed, Maldini only ever experienced one environment whereas Fletcher has experienced many different ones that only have a relevance to the country that Manchester United are competing in. Astute point to make.
So Maldini was a class player with huge experience and ton of trophies and his dad was at the club which all makes him better at being a staff member compared to SAF's pet Fletcher?
Did Zidane say this in regards to have he now manages ? I could be wrong and his time at Juventus changed how he saw the game and impacted him as a manger but we need more information to make that judged.
You explained why you think Maldini worked and your reasons were because he was a world class player and his Dad player for Milan. Also the three generations things. It implies that's what Fletcher lacks compared to him.
In last 2 pages alone.
There is a massive difference between league 1/championship and United. But oh well.
Exactly. His family tree has nothing to do with it, nor does his great record as a footballer. It's a totally different role that requires different qualities. One's history and understanding of the game are important, but not enough.
And Arsenal's coaches? Or you just ignoring that part?
Round stayed with United for few months, stuivenberg for 2 years. I don't recall that they were many criticism surrounding them
Well there was lots.
People that Moyes brought from Everton were famously uncriticised on the forum.
His Nationality.
Steve Round had ample experience as no 2 prior of joining United. Stuivenberg had less (U17 and U21 with the Dutch league). The criticism was usually raised at the respective managers rather then to them. Moyes was horribly out of depth and he made the mistake of sacking most of SAF's people prior to even settling down while LVG was basically a tactical dinosaur.
Which is it?
You liked shitting on Steve Round when it suited you as well.
My point was that you can't compare anyone really with the wealth of knowledge and experience Paolo Maldini has about his club. We're talking of a person whose family had been involved with Milan since the 50s when Cesare was an AC Milan player and then went on to become manager, director and assistant manager. Then he came out from the academy, he made his debut as a player at age 16 and he spent 25 years there winning everything there is to win at club level multiple times. He also have a son aka Daniel playing there too.
Since we don't have anyone like that available at United, who should be our technical director then? If experience from the club is important, surely Fletch is up there, no?
You mean this?
Those links are referring to the questioning and criticism he got from the whole forum.
No because you ignored the one I posted from you. Plus everything else I've said.
He does that lot.
Who was comparing those exact things apart from you? Comparisons were about qualifications before hiring on a directorial position and none of those things you mentioned translate directly to being even an adequate director.
He's threadbanned now for not debating in good faith.
I know this is off topic, but can you give a bit more background on this? What did Maldini do or say to be ostracised by the Milan fans? It would take something extraordinary for United fans to boo King Eric and Maldini is arguably an even bigger legend for Milan than Cantona is for us.
To be fair Fletcher was nothing if not bright. Think I read an Athletic report on the private school the united scholars and the headmaster identified both Darren Fletcher and Jonny Evans as having been very academically gifted. Elanga supposed to be another smart cookie.
I’m sure Bryan Robson could recount the history of United no problem, or Fletcher for that matter. It all means diddly squat as to whether they can do the job. Maldini could equally have failed, and that’s nothing to do with his stature as a successful player at the club before.
You only have to listen to Fletcher to know he’s an intelligent guy with a good instinct for football
You keep writing the same stuff about how many CLs Maldini won as a player. Or the closest Fletcher came to being world class was when he was sitting next to Giggs and Scholes. All correct but not even slightly relevant here.
Can we forum ban him for the same reason? EVERY. THREAD.

So is that him admitting he does nothing?
