Funny, I always thought Fergie would only leave old trafford if he was in a box..
Be great to see "The special one" at Spurs ,
or maybe at Wigan to find out exactly how " special" he is

We pay Wenger nearly 10m a year. If he f**ks off this summer we'd be a big enough challenge for The Special One.

The greatest manager on the planet not named Alex.

Unlike some people, he actually spends the money his club has. Unlike some people he doesn't sub off his best player and puts on a scrub to replace him. Unlike some people, he hasn't forgotten how to win.

City won't get rid of the manager that will probably win them the league.

I guarantee he will never be involved with Chelsea ever again.

It would be between us (if we get rid of AW) and Spurs (if 'arry goes to jail).
You dont spend money. Mourinho will always go somewhere with spending power.

Would love him at Liverpool, surely returning us to glory would appeal to his ridiculous ego, but think there is about a 0.1% chance of him touching the This Is Anfield sign anytime soon.

Gotta be Tottenham. Would be perfect timing for Mou at the end of the season. Fergie just refuses to die so thats not gonna happen. Arsenal? Depends of Wenger. But thats about it in England.

I wouldn't mind seeing him complete the Big 4 and win in Germany. Bayern have a impressive record with turnover of managers, and if Jupp Heynckes fails to pip Borussia this season after the strong start they had he might be on the way out too.

Mou is a GOAT contender. These are the type of coaches from yesteryear that people talk about like Rinus Michels, Lobanovskyi etc. This generation has their own with Mou and Pep

Tbh I think he'll stay in Madrid. Where else will he have the power and the money to buy whom ever he likes, plus his agent and his crew of Portuguese players are all there.

No

Mourinho won't get a bottomless pit of €
His rubbish won't be tolerated like it wasn't with LVG
Heynckes will be manager next season
He won't have it easy the way he likes it

As for turn overs in managers, what? 8 in 14 years, 2 of them caretakers

Wouldn't need a bottomless pit. Bayern already have the best squad in the league, and top 6 in Europe, you could argue even higher. And no doubt budget next season will again exceed 30m euros.

Just mentioned it because it'd be something special to have a manager win the title in each of the big 4 leagues. Didnt for one second think it was realistic.

Gomez, Kroos, Muller, Lahm, Robben, Ribery, Neuer, Schwein. Then you have Shaqiri coming in. Not many outfits can boast anything close to those names.

Dortmund have a better centre halves in Hummels and Subotic, and you could make a strong case for Schmelzer. Other than the backline, I don't know how anyone could actually make a case for Bayern not having the squad with most potential, especially if we're just talking Bundesliga. Ok Kagawa, Gotze, Lewandowski and Grosskreutz and now Reus put them in good stead, but on the whole it doesnt match up. Schalke, not really. Most of their real talent is really inexperienced (pukki, holtby, howedes, draxler etc). Monchengladbach...Reus, Arango? Who else? Their teams may have good chemistry atm but cant touch Bayern in talent.

Not sure why I reply though, I look forward to your disparaging comment.

Forgive me for not taking you seriously when you tell me how my team are 48 or so hours after being dominated by Freiburg. Did you watch that game? Very shit performance.

BvB have the best squad by far.

You know how many points FCB picked up against BvB and Gladbach in 3 matches this season? 0 - Neuer at fault in both Gladbach meetings.

Müller has played maybe 1 good game all season against Stuttgart in the Pokal. He'll be good for the nationalelf though.

You see how good Robben is this year? Ask Mario Basler or Franz Beckenbauer.

Gomez scoring goals can't fault but does nothing else, very lazy and mirrors a statue.

Schweini yes, Bender would walk in and be his partner though.
Kroos, not over Götze but improved season
Ribéry, career best form
Lahm, best fullback in the world but Rafinha, average.
Neuer, many believe Weidenfeller should be the number 1 for the nationalelf. At least Roman wouldn't chase € at S04 though.

The defense is absolute shit. How can such a glaring problem be at the front if the best squad in the league?

Maybe Nerlinger plays FIFA12 with you and thinks we are fine?

Maybe on paper but not on 2011-12 form.

Muller needs to be played in his best position on the right then he is a solid enough player to have a good career. He does not have enough in his game to play as a second striker.

Always said Robben is to greedy and is a dead end for attacks. He does not play for the team. Glad Mario and Franz are agreeing with me there.

Gomez is rubbish. Always has been.

I'd have Kroos in the team somewhere though, always looked like a tidy player from what i saw. Gotze would be challenging Robben for a spot in the team if you were merging squads.


Neuer looked world class for Shalke in the first leg against us the other year, but average in the second. We didn't know which one was the real Neuer. I guess its the latter based on your reports on him.


Does Boateng not play right back for you? Or Lahm play there so Badstuber can play left? I don't like Rafinha. Never rated him, and don't like his face.

Oh and on thread.

The muppets at Real may sack him if he doesn't win the champs league, even if he wins the league. They have done it before.

I doubt he would go to Spurs. They wouldn't spend the money he likes neither would Arsenal.

He could go back to Chelsea, or City. If he survives a few more years then he would likely replace Sir Alex before finishing by managing Portugal.

Müller actually does play on the right more often than not and still is in cruise mode. Heynckes plays too slow. You'll see Müller shine under Löw.

Gomez isn't rubbish. People don't have his goal scoring record if they are rubbish. He doesn't do anything else and needs a partner like Olic because he doesn't drop deep or drift wide. It's currently one dimensional crossed to Gomez. He needs to work harder.

Neuer was the same at S04 and aways prone to dumb mistakes plus he can't handle the cross too well, you'll see him run out of his line and put in the big fist leaving him open to having the ball nicked. He did salvage a draw on the weekend so good on him but his presence is too controversial and he/the club keeps stirring the pot with dumb comments like "I love the Bavarian mentality it suits me perfect" why would you even say that after what happened?

Boateng is woeful on the fullback. Got torn apart the other week in a lethargic display but he's good in centre back position. Badstuber is woeful in every position. Too slow, too weak, generally has poor awareness.

Der Kaiser criticised Robben's performance the other day when I thought he was the only attacking spark. Ribéry was playing poorly when he was constantly injured like Robben was. Basler can say what he wants but I think Kaiser should tone it down considering his position at the club. Another factor IMO is Lahm switching to the left which has seen Ribéry in career best form and Robben struggling. I Think it was KHR who said Robben/Rafinha wasn't working. Robben is essential to FCB though.

Bayern miss van Bommel. There's no toughness or will to win when the chips are down.

Lahm aside Bayern need an entirely new defense. They have signed Dante, they need to sign Höwedes and 2 or 3 reserves to cover DVB and probably Breno's loss. A fullback would be nice.

They have made a mistake in not signing Usami. €2 is nothing and should have been spent.

They've made many mistakes in the transfer market/squad policy. Now the word is Lucien Favre will be their next season.

Dortmund have FCB covered player for player except for Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Ribéry and Gomez. The rest are either equal or superior. Fact of life in 2012

But I digress.

Madrid only care about winning the CL and defeating Barca. They're too controlling and Jose doesn't like that plus they can virtually sign a new squad if they wanted to.

Fair enough. On paper was what I meant I guess then.

Still there, doesn'g play. Hard to say how good he is because he doesn't play and won't ever play since Lahm is there on the left.

I think he wants to go to Italy. He won't be here next season

Has he been capped by Germany yet? IIRC he is eligible to play for Italy or Germany.

Hard to play given Lahm is in front of him. Roma need fullbacks, he might be an option.

Not sure when his contract is up, maybe next year? I think he'll walk for first team oppurtunitues He should have been loaned when it was clear all he'd be doing is warming the bench.

These idiots are really in fine form in decision making in the last 12 months.
