Are Champions League / title winning managers any good at fighting relegation?

I don’t know. There’s not much data on that.

Benitez couldn’t keep Newcastle up
Klopp took Mainz down.
Ranieri basically took Atletico down
Even my mate Pellegrini took Universidad de Chile down.

Seems managers who coach at the top, rarely venture into those depths, but when they do, the results aren’t particularly good.

Lol two of your first 'top' managers on your list ex kopite/current. Is the cat out the bag ?

Weird way of going about it, you’ve done nothing but tell everyone to calm down and pick out the fact he hasn’t stayed at clubs for longer than 2 years for ages all day. But then you were essentially calling people idiots for not wanting Emery the other week??

Haven’t told anyone to calm down about it.

We’ve every right to be enthusiastic and excited, like I said it will be a hell of a ride and I’m looking forward to it no matter what happens.

But as per, unsurprisingly, if you say anything that’s construed as anything other than uber-positive, you’re shouted down.

The wider narrative has, as it often is, been seemingly lost this afternoon.

And again, maybe its me and my dots, but think about it.

He becomes available. He is a very rich man, (I assume), has zero to prove to anyone in the game, a few days ago Everton was probably not even in his mind.

Then, contact. Apparently a meeting, probably more than one, in London with, apparently, Mosh & Co. (insert relevant billionaire). Problem with his Napoli contract. Sorted.

Then, again apparently, not an 18 months deal, but a 4 1/2 year one. That to me is the important bit. He has been sold a vision, a project, (I effin hate that word in football), but whatever it is, it kinda excites me that he has bought into all this stuff.

Just hope I am right. But the dots have been ok so far.

You know nobody thinks otherwise, right?

This thread is crawling with kopites being contrary. That’s it. I’ve not spoken to one proper blue that thinks this is anything other than a massive move for the club.
