The Next Manager?

[cosmicway 1,333]

Come on.
They have Christensen and Alonso, starting lineup.
Both considered as "spent forces" by Chelsea.
You can't say it's Xavi's fault.
I like Real Madrid style of play much more than theirs but right now Barca is a second string team.

I'd be okay with Xavi, Amorin or DZ in that order.

I don't rate Barca squad, and that is without all of the injuries. I actually think he had done a great given Barca squad and resources. I firmly believe that will be evident next season, unless they upgrade their squad immensely. Which is very unlikely given their financial situation. 

Since he toke over, Madrid has only 5 more points than them. There is a huge gap between them if you look at their squads. 

A squad assembled by Xavi himself no ?

None of them being considered. Surprising because I think De Zerbi for example could be a good coach to get in but Clearlake have said they’re looking for a coach and not a tough character to work with.

The shortlist (Frank, McKenna, maresca) is so uninspiring an overwhelming majority will roll the dice and take mystery coach behind door number 4

Knowing Clownlake it is probably Austin Powers.

Apparently Mourinho is this mystery manager. Lots of movement on betting sites with him shooting up the list.

At least is never boring being a Chelsea fan.

I hope United are dumb enough to appoint McKenna rather than us when they have Tuchel and Poch available to them. I think they’ll be in a state of depression similar to when Olé was in charge after half a season when he looks in way over his head.

[NikkiCFC 8,517]

Regardless of who is their manager United is probably 4,5 great buys away from even competing for CL.

Who would take Jose with Cesc as assistant manager with Cesc taking over in a few years? I honestly would, it gets us the rocket up the backside of the young guys in our squad.

If manager Cesc is going to be anything like player Cesc, he and Mourinho couldn't be any more different in terms of playing style.

Manager betting odds don't have a lot of people betting. Even a few people betting can sky rocket a name, much like we are seeing with Mourinho where I can say for absolute certainty has zero truth.

What kind of football does Mourinho even play now?

I assume its the same old shit that stopped being relevant 10 years ago?

Mourinho is like my first car, loved it did me an absolute solid, but if I got it back now it would be a pile of shit 🤣
