One an ex great another an ex very good who almost overnight declined at the club they made their name at, but it was widely assumed it was more the club holding them back (Torres playing under Roy and with the likes of Poulsen, Jose not getting his main targets and players suposedly betraying him) so a rival snapped them up, but it changed nothing and the full extent of both declines were/are there for the world to see, but fans of there new club kept making constant excuses and blaming anyone and anything but the men themselves in the extremely unlikely hope they will get it back again almost as quick as they lost it. Many managers do tend to have that shelf life as well. It's very hard to remain top for so many years like saf.

Early 00s Wenger started getting the better of him, Jose smashed him for two years and some of Uniteds episodes in Europe were embarrassing, but he reinvented himself and then won 5 of 7 titles and even started producing consiestently in Europe which was his weakness.

Avram(?) hired Henk Ten Cate, a former attacking coach from Barcelona, to help him and it worked quite well didn't it. Jose should maybe add somebody to his staff who knows something about attacking and not be such a stubborn bitch, his main henchmen Faria and Louro look and act just as negative, miserable and stubborn as him.

Perhaps Van Gaal is more appropriate of a comparison? The players who played under him at Barca and Bayern only have good things to say. In his era Van Gaal dominated because of the way football was played and it's the same with Mourinho, in his prime football wasn't as attacking like this and high pressing was rarely a thing. The evolution of coaching was spearheaded by Pep and then you have Klopp, Conte, Pochettino and numerous others adopting that too. Van Gaal and Mourinho (even Wenger to an extent) are of previous eras of football and no-one could outdo them at the time. You can see why, they feel if they stick with their natural style which was so successful it will be the same. To Mou's credit he's been able to carry that since his last trophy win was all but 2 years back. These managers are rigid, they were used to strikers being the only attacking outlets and the rest were a defensive unit. Modern world class players now; the Pogbas, Hazards, Coutinhos, Ronaldos are midfield-attacking players His emphasis to make players defend first then attack is what holds him back, I joked that he would make Pogba like Mikel when United first signed him and that's looking true . We saw what went wrong with Hazard and himself too, at the time several members did make the point it would hinder Hazard long term if he was always asked to track back & low and behold Conte takes the shackles off and he's stepped up a new level entirely!

Fergie shouldn't be compared with your average manger who peak between 42 and 50. He was a genius and like most geniuses they're once in a lifetime. United struggling now shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone as they're being managed and will continue to be manged by your typical average manager until they win the lottery again.

That's the point tho, his methods went stale and he realised he needed to improve in Europe so he made the adjustments necessary to his style to compete with what was back then the new influx of manager's coming into the league. The same way Klopp, Conte etc are coming in with the high pressure now Wenger/Houllier first and then Jose/Rafa came in with fresh tactical ideas and surpassed the man manager boot up the player's arse manager Fergie was in the 90's. Fergie adapted his management style and accepted that there will be some ego's/fragile flowers in the modern game and that he needs to start waking up a bit tactically, he came into games from 2006 onwards with solid tactical plans for teams especially one's on par/better where-as in the 90s he was quite reliant on his philosophy and while it worked domestically it held them back in Europe, there was a reason them beating Juve in 99 was considered a shock. If Jose wants any chance of getting out of this rut, he needs to accept that the likes of Martial are not Lampard and Zannetti, he's not going to play 150 games in a row and act like he is in a war, and he needs to reinvent his tactical mindset.

BoyBlue96 990 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Every single time I see him in his red tie on Twitter or television...pfff. I just want him gone from this League. I hate seeing him with those scumbags but the thing I despise the most is the whole hypocritical wankfest made by the Man Utd fans about them supporting him for his abusive behaviour on the sideline and loving him while they could easily drink his blood only 18 MONTHS ago. Look at that big fat turd on FullTimeWankers Andy Tate. I still remember him in videos two years ago hating on us and JOOSAYEH for playing shit football and now he suddenly loves him. Pathetic. I fucking love it that it's always the Man United fans calling us or the City fans "gloryhunters" while they are the biggest of them all. They have more trophies than us and shit. Here in Holland, the majority supports Ajax only because they are the most well-known team and the most succesfull (and they have three stars above their club crest). Same goes for Bayern Munich and Juventus in their countries. There's nothing more easy than saying you support Man Utd because then you can rant about 20 times 20 times all you want. When you say "ah I'm a Chelsea fan" you get stick for being plastic and shit. Haha. We hated Rafa before he became our manager a few years ago, and when he arrived we still did. United fans are pathetic and laughable. They're basically just as much as a joke as José has become. manpe and Unionjack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 4, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted December 4, 2016 This is the video proof. This is why I always laughed inside at fans that worshipped Jose. He has no shame! He's just mad Conte is a better tactician than him and has Chelsea playing football he could never achieve. The "evolution" he claimed he was going to give us 2nd time out, he couldn't do after 3 years. Conte is already showing it in 14 matches.
