HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 "I don’t think this is about how he’s performed. I think it’s about the level of control, if indeed he has any, on things like transfers. Ownership and directors of clubs are now looking for a coach, not a manager. They want to choose the players, deliver them and find someone to coach them. If you’ve spent a billion quid and it doesn't work next season and if you’ve underperformed in comparison to every other club's spending, then it's not the manager or the coach who has blown it - it's the people above who are making the decisions." - Pat Nevin I agree with Nevin or a lot of what he says.

Theroadlesstravelled Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 There could potentially be 6 Italian teams in the Champions League next season. Crazy that the Bolognas and Atlantas of this world get there and your Chelseas and your Tottenhams miss out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 20 matches against top half opponents they drew 3 and lost 17. They didn't take a point in 10 matches against the top 5. They were never out of the relegation zone. That might be ok if they were dirt poor but they had a net transfer spend of over £100 million, putting them in the top half of spenders. They spent more than £10 million five times, including £14 million for Aaron Ramsey. Yet they never even put up a serious fight. What am I missing? How are Bayern Munich not shopping for someone with an actual track record? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasperini? Pochetino? Hoeness at Stuttgart? They could easily buy out Unai Emery's contract if they wanted. On the list of managers that are a better match for one of the biggest football manager jobs in the world you have to go a long way down to reach Vincent Kompany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 On 24/05/2024 at 05:49, SH Panda said: They are looking for someone who speaks German so only really Hoeness from the list above (and maybe he doesn't want it or they don't want him for whatever reason). Kompany is a bit of a punt but they are desperate. I remember once I was offered to do an additional job, which I said yes to, only for the person asking me to keep insisting they are so desperate that's why they have asked me Everyone knows Kompany is maybe their 5th choice. Now that is desperate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've surely got more to go on than just these being stonewall yellows? These sort of fouls get made regularly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 29 minutes ago, parsforlife said: They've surely got more to go on than just these being stonewall yellows? These sort of fouls get made regularly It first got noted on Twitter that he was something like even money to get booked when he'd only had 1 or 2 yellows all season prior to that. Even before that though, the bookies also share (or at least should, and it's in their interest to do so) suspicious betting activity and there was a larger than usual amount wagered on him picking up bookings in these 4 specific matches - the largest bets were made in Brazil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
