Not the best yet, his Champions League record since leaving Barcelona is pretty crap.
very dipper type comment that....
Not the best yet, his Champions League record since leaving Barcelona is pretty crap.
I thought it was a late goal. I saw the game on TV. Definitely a header though. Maybe I'm a bit loopy; )I remember the game as it was shown on telly, but the Robbins goal was neither late nor a looping header - I couldn't belive it when he ended up playing for City either.
The best is obviously Pep Guardiola. He must be. After all this is City's biggest forum and I'm a bitter Berti with my biased blue tinted specs on. Oh hang on, he's only been here 4 seasons. Great manager, our greatest and most successful. We're witnessing fantastic football, the most beautiful football I've ever seen. Many records broken in the EPL and a clean domestic sweep last season. Only time will tell if he is to supercede the trophy haul of a certain Scotsman though...
The best domestic manager in the history of football is Fergie IMHO.
He wrestled the trophies from the grasp of Glasgow powerhouses Celtic and Rangers, winning three league titles, four Scottish Cups, one Scottish League Cup, the Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Super Cup. All this in 8 seasons whilst managing Aberdeen.
Then he went to the rags in 86 and was unsuccessful till '90. Perceived as a failure, his managerial epitaph was(allegedly) already typed out by the press who had inside info on him getting 'sacked in the morning'. Up popped Mark bastard Robins with a very late looping header at Forest, 3rd round FA cup game in '90. And the rest is 'istry as they say, Robins definitely saved Fergie's bacon that day, and they went on to win the cup. And us blues old enough to remember that goal, know how much pain and suffering we've endured whilst he was in charge at the swamp: (
His trophy haul speaks for itself. The squads he's evolved and the youth players that have come through the ranks to have very successful careers under his tenure is there in the football history books. Whether you agree he's the best or not is your opinion. My opinion is as above.

As a fervent blue I fuckin' hated him in charge of the rags mate. I have since mellowed. And as an unbiased football fan It pains me to admit that I have a begrudging respect for the success he has achieved in the game as a manager, especially being a successful manager for the rags for so long.As much I do not like the old pissed red twat.
He could mould teams with star players along shite average ones and made average players into trophy winners.
He could build teams and preserve consitency throughout a season.
You cannot deny his recors as a manger here and in scotland, Still a **** mind

My apologies if I have draw the wrong conclusion to this post but Pep has won the domestic double and treble in the last two seasons with a team in which only 5 players (Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez and Aguero) had previously won a Premier League title.As much I do not like the old pissed red twat.
