STM Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I reckon Jose would have the bollocks to take on a challenge. Maybe not one this big but I could have seen him trying to win the league at Liverpool or summit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not one this big but I could have seen him trying to win the league at Liverpool or summit. Jose has said in the past that he would fancy Newcastle as a challenge, but he'd want shitloads to spend. I'm not sure Rafa will be much different like.

Froggy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have to say too, it's refreshing to see a top class manager take on a proper challenge. Benitez has won the biggest prize of them all and managed some of the most successful teams of all time. You wouldn't see Pep or Mourinho take on a side in the bottom 3 on a long term project. It's good to see this. In fairness, it's not really the same. He does deserve respect for it but that CL success came a long time ago and he's had mixed results since then. Not like he's come off winning a league title like Mourinho ( i know they were shite this year but they won the league the year before) or Guardiola have. If he had i doubt he'd be taking this job on, still shocked that he is mind. While I can see where you're coming from, I don't think his quality was ever in doubt though. With the exception of Inter (who were fucking shite when he took over), he has a great win percentage at each club. He was sacked when he was 2 points behind Barca at Madrid. He came third and won the Europa League with Chelsea despite shitty abuse from the shittiest fans in the country. At Napoli he won the Coppa Italia and qualified for the CL. I hated him at Liverpool like. Rivarly and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 IMO he was definitely treated unfairly at Chelsea and Madrid, although I've learned to not tell other fans what to think of their manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated him at Liverpool like. Rivarly and all that. Aye i agree, just that Guardiola and Mourinho might look at it differently like he has if their success begins to stop. Obviously they never will as their get the best jobs money can buy regardless. So to me it's not really a fair comparison, he's still severely dropping down mind.

Froggy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Are Madrid not doing worse since he left? Depends on how you look at it. The football is better but instead of being two points behind Barca they're twelve now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 First time in decades that we've got a better manager than Man U if it happens. Loads of teams have only just been able to say that. They had the best manager of all time for almost three decades. Had the best manager of all time for about 13 years, unless you think he was the GOAT as soon as he took over. 1972 is the last time we could realistically make such a claim when Frank O' Farrell was at Old Trafford and Joe Harvey was at SJP.

Interpolic Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Have we had a Spanish manager? We've only ever had 2 non-British managers - Ardilles and Gullit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Have we had a Spanish manager? No, closest is Ardilles. Looking through it we have only had 2 (Gullit and Ardilles) outside of the British Isles if you count Ireland as part of the British Isles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
