It's a cold wet Saturday morning here in Auckland...weather befitting the bleak landscape painted in this thread today. Y'day I genuinely thought we were on cusp of bright new future...all our troubles seemed distant. But today?...well those very same troubles are back again in spades. I wish it was yesterday again...I want to believe...in yesterday,
Christ mate you should't skip your pills
 
The guy was the first ever manager to win 4 league divisions in a row in his first 4 seasons and has brought through a host of stars including the likes of Suarez and Eriksen. Even last year he went from a 16 point deficit behind PSV the previous season to losing it on the last day. He also hasn't had any money to spend and had to rely on academy players and cheap signings. Ajax scored 81 goals and only conceded 21 last season by far the best defensive record in the league and the best overall goal difference. PSV the other big team where only eliminated from the champions league on penalties by A Madrid which shows the standard isn't as rubbish as made out to be. Before managing the first team he ran Ajax's academy and was a top player winning everything with Barca and Ajax and has played under the best managers and in the same team as Guardiola who he shares a similar style with.

Frankly I am bemused why we haven't already hired him but where ever he goes he will be a top coach. Shame it won't be for us.


Should have been hired on the spot when he left Ajax.

Far superior than any of the others were currently linked with. Good football to watch, strong management and a multiple title winner and footballing legend.

Yesterday all his troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, he believed in yesterday.

Suddenly he's not half the man he used to be. There's a shadow hanging over him. And, yesterday came suddenly.

Why Bobby had to go, he doesn't know, he wouldn't say. He said "something wrong, now I long for yesterday"

Yesterday Fottball was such an easy game to play. Now Bill needs a place to hide away. Coz he believes in yesterday.
 
Based on absolutely nout I've got a feeling we'll end up with Pellegrini. Would be a decent appointment I'm sure. Part of me really wants a 'run down the touch line mentalist' type manager like Emery though. Just got a feeling he's using us for a better Sevilla deal.
Think if we don't get emery, pelligrini is the safe option to full back on.
 

The new manager will be an intergalactic man arriving next week me thinks

Risky mate, those Beastie Boys are dropping like flies.

Conflicted about the CL final and who to support. And wondering whether it will really affect our future manager. We were thinking last weeks final might, and it turned out it didn't...
