To be fair, that just highlights how shit the German league is. Not sure Sky Germany have thought this one through properly.

It’s 7 PL games he’s participated in.
Add in 3 CL and 1 LC.
(All of which he’s played at least 15mins in, and a full 90mins in LC)

currently:
goals 0

It's the "but United have gone down the road of appointing a world class manager twice before and it didn't work" argument that cracks me up.
Right up there with that Principal Skinner meme, where he decides he isn't the one out of touch, that logic.
The problem at United is quite simple. It's current philosophy is rooted in 1990. They can't buy, bluster and bully their way to success anymore. There's nobody in the club who knows any other way ("the United Way"). Everyone in the club is awestruck by Ferguson's Marley routine and there's no sign of the Ghost of Premier Leagues Future popping soon.

It’s a fake Pannick. Count the toes - there’s only five there.

Is it too late to wish the paperboy gets sacked before the Derby and they appoint Phelan and Bruce as joint Player Managers? #dreamteam

Their problem is that they are steeped in the past and think that they have to return to their (Ferguson-ian) roots. The problem, however, is that Ferguson had no philosophy and no identity as a way of playing. Ferguson was a great manager, but he was no Cruyff, Sacchi or Pep. He needed help from Queiroz to have success in Europe in his later years. Football has moved away from his ideas about the game, partly because of a certain bald genius.

Truth is, there's no such thing as the United way when it comes to playing football. Being fast and great at counter-attacking are things which are implemented by many teams, e.g., Liverpool. The trick is to be able to do fast transitions without losing the ball cheaply and without being all over the place when that happens. Otherwise, you are too open and vulnerable to counters. The PL has changed dramatically since Pep's arrival. Many teams are very good at possession and know better how to resist counters.

The PL has changed dramatically since Pep's arrival. If Ferguson himself tried to implement his ideas today, his United would look out of their depth, even against teams like Brighton.

I agree the old methods are exactly that and just wouldn't work today. The best 2 teams at counter attacking are Liverpool and City and is the reason teams don't try to do a high line against them

Playing a high line to control games and preventing counter attacks takes great organisation and skill. Pep has shown how this can be done but there is always a risk element but to control games that has to be a risk taken

Pep has been the best coach this country has ever seen, he has changed the way football is played in this country through all divisions. He has also improved many coaches with less gifted players in strategies to counteract and Pep then reacts with another system.

We have seen importance of keepers playing as an extra defender to beat the press. Inverted fullbacks, one holding midfielder and 2 number 8s, Overloads and possession switching to create spaces, amongst others

As we have seen it takes players a while to understand where they should be on the pitch to create and deliver all of the above , which is why it is almost impossible for anyone to emulate

As this is the United thread I suspect they will go for someone like Conte for a couple of years but I just can't see them winning the league as football in this country has evolved even since he left

He can fuck off, he's not coming to City, the horrible twat!

That may or may not be true, but he's an excellent manager. Remember when we played Swansea at their place when he was the manager there and they passed it around us like they were Barcelona? He's quality and would do incredibly well with our squad and resources.

I must say I have warmed to him since he left Liverpool.

how is she his...

...

It’s amazing what a bit of makeup, a boob job, a lip job, cheek implants, getting a new set of veneer teeth, hair dye, fake tan, and a gym personal trainer can do. This is what she looked like before all that:

Don’t want him anywhere near us. In all of his last four Prem seasons his teams have all epically crumbled at the end of the season.
