To be honest he would be the perfect manager for us. I still have mixed feelings about him. On one hand, I love him to bits because the restored Sporting's dignity as a big club. But he left in the middle of our last dance. It was obvious that he wouldn't stay beyond this season. But Sporting...

I know I wrote that he's a rat, because he jumped off ship before anyone else and left work to be done. But he is a hell of a manager. His communication skills are both obvious and simple. He won't tell you any bullshit to please you or to find an excuse. If it's raining, it's raining. If he...

A rat in a club full of rats! I just hope Everton don't pull their pants down, regarding Branthwaite. We have to be solid and try to keep him. If they want him, they have to pay our price, not theirs.

Great lad. Offered me an Everton jersey with the number 85!

Give him time...he will come good, especially because his pace may allow him to play on a wing to support Calvert-Lewin.

That's debatable. Lobanovsky favoured players from his Dínamo Kiev, who played according to his system. Of course they were a wonderful team with a lot of Ukrainian players. But Spartak had also very good players who wouldn't fit Lobanovsky's system. Cherenkov is regarded as a genius and he...

With time and if the manager opts for 2 upfront, he can link up quite well with Chermiti. But...in time...enough time for Chermiti to blossom.

Chermiti is stll a young prospect. He has great physical qualities but he needs to evolve in a number of aspects.

He has some level of potential. He has rare physical qualities combined, such as his size and his pace. Yet, he has margin to improve on his aerial ability and his first touch in short space. I believe he is the resilient kind of guy, because 4 years ago he was playing in he lower divisions...

It was the same when Moyes was in charge. After he left, we all know what happened, when the board tried to find a manager with a "more cultured" way of playing. It takes a very good manager and very good players to play attractive football without falling into the wrong side of the table. At...

Since a kid I've had a soft for football in the UK, and most of the Irish stars were playing over there. The Irish National team came to prominence in 88. Of course, looking at the players in that squad, Eire was, by no means, a lesser team. But I also think they've achieved what there was to...

Great thread!!!!

Maybe he's worn out and there is no juice to squeeze from that orange anymore.

Are we allowed to keep calling him the fat Spanish waiter? Nevertheless, he had a good spell with Shiite. This club is a real mystery. You get Ancelotti, who's a very good manager, and we still ended up with empty hands and no clue about progression. We have some quality players but also a...

Here's the thing... the red [Poor language removed] spent a lot but we also spent a lot. Had Carlo been with us for a longer period of time and I think the load of money we've spent would've been put to better use. Top manager, no matter how things will go in the future. He was also a top player for AC Milan...
