RichM alistair I assume the families all live in Dubai anyway. At least it means we won’t get the calls for Gerrard to takeover from Klopp when he goes.
Cankles-McJeggings RichM No no no no. Stevie will be seasoned and ready to hit the floor running. #inslippygwetrust
alistair bosstrabs Cruyff for sure but not Beckenbauer. Immaculate timing to walk away after a single fairly ugly WC win but that alone doesn’t make him a top manager. I’d put up Kenny for what he did first time round. Some would say Clough was a top player in his prime
Hursty bosstrabs it applies to most industries I guess, I know many great engineers many of which would make terrible managers. You don’t find many people in life who want to manage people, those who do are generally wankers
alistair You’ve got to admire Mount’s single mindedness and lack of sentimentality in forcing through the move. Been at Chelsea since seven. Playing and beating Chelsea at their own game
SM001 alistair He didn’t have to do much forcing to be fair. 1 year left on his contract and Chelsea desperate to sell players. He’s gone from £80k a week to £250k.
alistair SM001 yeah but Chelsea offered him bumper new contracts which he refused when still on modest wages. Still showed a ruthless streak when you think it was his boyhood club.
