interesting.. well first off at least we are finally digging into this subject, the majority of members on here would rather stick their heads in the sand and argue with those who are asking these questions by referring to harder times at the club. imo the older players in the squad no longer have the mentality to win the champions league and the league, when you reach a certain age you need young and hungry players around you. We don't have the age mix that man-utd have.. If Giggs is underperforming he will look around the pitch and see the future (literally) and step his game up. Ballack looks around and he sees the same person. Scolari had done his thing in the game, all he wanted was the money and he even admitted it in his first press conference. Mourinho's sacking was a result of Romans ego trip but who would you rather have?.. I just hope now roman has his favourite manager he will give him the funds for younger and hungrier players in the summer.
