Why are the English legends clearly the inferior managers? The best 2 English managers in the division don't come from footballing aristocracy.

He scored a hattrick including a 25 yarder into the top corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other managers actually need to prove themselves via actually managing so are typically much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to rank players from WC 98 and Euro 00 as managers. You have a mixed bag of Zidane, Deschamps, Vieira, Henry, Scholes, Campbell, Simeone, Inzaghi etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, thought his non-verbals were a bit off when interviewer mentioned something along the lines of you must be delighted that Vardy has signed a new contract.

Tiresias Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I keep forgetting Rodgers managed two 5th place finishes with Leicester, (albeit 1 should have been a 4th place with a disasterous end of season iirc) which is actually very impressive. I still somehow struggle to be impressed by him. He is definitely on way out though, clearly unhappy with lack of transfers, owners looking to sell I read and a squad in need of a rebuild. I think he'd rather go now reputation somewhat intact than struggle for a few seasons until new investment comes in. If he wanted long term he would have sold Fofana nad Maddison by now and rebuilt squad with profits but I don't think he wants to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Think Leicester are at the stage where they could end up plummeting if they’re not careful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Well maybe not, I do have a suspicion he has been blocking the sales to act the martyr when they don't sign anyone. Not that I blame him too much, no guarantee they will replace them with anyone of standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
