Not actually pedigree is it? - Meh. Rafa has pedigree, we don’t want him. Pep had no pedigree. Jamie Vardy had no pedigree. It really isn’t that important. Some people just don’t get the opportunity.
No, but his positive on the Tugascout report posted earlier is he brought through young players - they have to be at the level required otherwise it's just noise. Fabio isn't unprepared for PL because of the manager. - I’m sure he’s got more strings to his bow than “can only bring through young players”. There’s not an age limit to his coaching ability.
Which is extraordinary for Benfica - 10 games? Only lost 4, 3 of them by one goal, 2 of them to Porto and Braga. Literally isn’t a sample size.
Not about the formation, it's about the players we have for that formation. Perhaps he'll deviate, perhaps we'll sign 4 players so we can play it - I’ve said it all season. Some (most, there wasn’t many) of our best performances came in a 4. We haven’t got cloggers, we’ve got good footballers. They can play in any system if the coaching and tactics were right. This season they weren’t.
As said numerous times, we absolutely have, I can the off Ola John, not manager though - not much to say here as I sort of agree. But I don’t care if the manger is ok.
Well at the age and experience does make a difference, unless you think teams have been sleeping on him? He’s been in coaching 20 years. He’s got plentry of experience just not as a manager. But like I said earlier, Rafa has experience, so does Bruce! Pep had none (and little coaching)
