Guest icemanblue Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Can't help but feel that the 'excitement' over this appointment, that I'm reading everywhere, is entirely manufactured by the football media. I'm not excited by it in the slightest, and it was the least surprising appointment in football history. Most of the people I've spoken to feel the same and are completely apathetic towards it. Yet journos, SSN and the like are positively frothing at the gash over it all. Perhaps I'm just getting old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've found myself cringing at most of the coverage, like. I suppose it's good for them, a bit of box office. It's just the way they seem to be trying to whip everyone up into some kind of frenzy. It's utterly bizarre, but I assume there must be some getting swept along in it. Objectively, it's a big story. The most famous and, possibly, best current manager coming back to Chelsea and the Premiership and all that. But, just nah... nowt. Don't care one bit.

Beren Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 With Ferguson's cantankerous moaning and Benitez's overt hypersensitivity departing, he does fill a certain managerial entertainment/charisma slot that the likes of Paul Lambert and Steve Clarke can't hope to, in fairness. There is Di Canio, though. It's not massively exciting, but he'll be good for the league. Our own dire performance aside, last year was an awful Premiership season.

In all seriousness, good post, sums up my feeling about it and what most of my mates do aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Miguel Piñero Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 True, but just can't help thinking this'll end badly again when you've got a manager who wanted to be somewhere else and an owner who wanted someone else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, especially considering who it actually went to. Mirrors a little bit when he was frontrunner for the Barça job and the president ended up appointing Guardiola. Always thought that's where a lot of his bitterness towards us came from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
