but mourinho was starting from a very low base as far as trophies won is concerned.
at bayern he's starting from a much higher base. if chelsea had continued in the same manner as before when mourinho came he would have been regarded as unsuccessful. if bayern continue as they have in the next few years he'll be regarded as reasonably successful' |

OK Mexicano - is getting to the semi finals of the CL a success for the big clubs?
If you say it is then you too are saying that 95% of clubs are 'unsuccessful' |

pep has made a wise decision.

By:
Pep has made a wise choice-major club and not under the glare of mass media.
|
|
By:
of course it's a success. the fact that some "big" clubs take that level of achievement for granted dosen't mean it's not an achievement.
|
|
By:
So getting to the semi finals of the CL is success for the big clubs?
How about QF's? |

Why would he go to Chelsea-- the owner is a child and unprofessional.

By:
Why would he go to Man Utd- club in major financial strife,he would have to follow Ferguson who will hand over an ageing and deterioating squad
|

By:
tell me this'
who has the better season. a team that challenges on all fronts and narrowly misses out on a couple of trophies. or a team that "flukes" the cl because it can be fluked you know as a few english clubs have proved. |

Mexicano -
A few posts ago only winning the CL at Bayern made Pep a success yet the next breath you state any big club getting to the semi finals should see that a a success! What is it? |
|
By:
Why would he go to City-- club have overspent recently and have a lot of dross in squad. The squad cannot cope with big games and do not have the look of a club that will be moving up a gear in the next 3 seasons-in fact they may well be going backwards!
|

By:
Bayern unlike Chelsea and City are one of Europe's super clubs.
exactly mw. |

|
By:
Ferdinand,RVP,Scholes,Giggs, Valencia,Evra,Vidic etc etc
|
|
By:
Seem obvious he wants a job with managable stress and expectations. Does not fancy the gladitorial aspects of football management as in PL and Spain. There is no way Ferguson or Mourinho would take a year off for a sabbatical.

Club are in hoch for £485,000,000 and that is after they recently raised cash on US Stock Exchange

Peeler - Fergie is building a younger squad to come through and the debt they have is manageable for a club their size.

Ferguson who will hand over an ageing and deterioating squad
They were saying that 10 years ago. |

you must not dream up things that you say i said in order to contradict them. ------------------------------------------------- A few posts ago only winning the CL at Bayern made Pep a succes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ where did i say that.? as regards your latest post. are you really telling me that a club can fluke a knock out competition can be regarded as being more successful than team sthat have played well all season? if you do i will say that you're putting too much emphasis on a knock out comp. it's nice for the fans when the club goes a long way in it, and now and again the best team in europe actually win it. but to my mind it dosen't prove one way or another the merit of a manager, because quite a few ordinary managers have won it. |

By:
Who are youngsters that will come through--Phil Jones,Wellbeck,Young,De Gea hardly earth shattering names
|
|
By:
soo if city sack Mancini at the end of the season....would you still put your mortage on pep working in Germany??
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Yes-- his decision to sign now indicates to me that he has no intention of waiting for City-why make a commitment now and break it in 6 months?
|
|
By:
Meicano - what does it take for Guardiola to be a success in your eyes then?
|
|
By:
Utd are making a lot of money enough to service and reduce their debts as well as sign top players.
In there squad they have the likes of De Gea, Rafael, Smallings, Jones, Evans, Anderson, Hernandez, Nani, Rooney, Young, etc who will be around for many years to come. You may or may not rate these players but every year they are first or second. The only ageing player who plays regularly is Rio. |
|
By:
Rooney more injury prone than ever his form has never reached the highs everybody hoped for.
|
|
By:
pep is overrated manager. just look at all the managerial nobodies who took at barca before him and after him. all of them had a comparable success. frank rijkard, pep and now vinalova. the sucess at barca is due to some exceptional talent not the managers. but to be honest pep was better than many of them.
at bayern, the default expectation is to win the league and whatever cup competion is there. if he did well in CL, i can see him doing well in EPL. |
|
By:
|
|
By:
what does he have to do?
he has to improve the club. regardless of the cl, he would have to make the club more dominant in germany than they already are. i know not everybody regards the cl in the same manner as i do, to me it's the "icing". |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Wellbeck good player hardly shown a capability to score 20 goals per season.De Gea good shot stopper otherwise?Evans steady not spectacular. Hernandez where is the service coming from?Anderson -seriously will he be there next season ditto Nani?
|
|
By:
Peeler - who has the best young squad in the league in your opinion?
|
|
By:
Arsenal
|
|
By:
Then Chelsea
|
|
By:
Aston Villa as darkhorses
|
|
By:
So having a young squad does not mean any success.
Arsenal probably had the best young squad for the last ten years. |
