That I can't deny. To qualify what I said earlier I'm not against it. It has a short term higher ceiling and lower floor than the options you have highlighted. He could win us the World Cup whereas they probably couldn't, equally we could have a group of sulky players with their arse in their hands fairly early on.Tactically he is very good. In terms of personality, I don't really know. For Chelsea his record in big games is pretty good (even if they lost some finals) and he was a Neuer howler away from probably winning the Champions League last year. Strong track record. International football has a much lower bar for coaches and we've seen the significant impact a good coach can make.
If he wins something it's all worth it. Much better than the Potter/Howe/Carsley options.
Good news for Ronaldo that panto season is coming soon as he put in a world class audition tonight at Hampden.
He's a complete joke.
Lesser of two evils, best to have a German not singing the National anthem than an Irishman, ‘no surrender’ and all that.
Panto booing of him at FT as he threw a hissy fit2 of the front 3 subbed he stayed on.
Pep wants a year off thenContract is just until after the World Cup. Right move for all concerned
