ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus I'm afraid the image is no small thing. Football clubs are run to make a profit, no big deal. ManU openly admitted this when they went public. I don't think big companies out there appreciate scandals, antics. You will find many examples: sponsors withdrawing that is. It's like "poor" Roman. He possibly wanted to launder his image (and maybe his millions too) but in the end his name ended up being associated with thuggish trolls like John Terry and Mourinho You obviously admire the man. Fair enough. Sorry to burst your bubble but there are many managers out there who won right and left. No rocket science, having the best squad is the deal. And like it or not Mr M inherited great squads in Italy, Spain and England Again, he was supposed to win (but true, he coul have lost too). And no, he did not get the job done this year (and the other years he failed). warspite1 quote:

Of course image is important - and maybe Man Utd will run from Mourinho even if van Gaal comes up short. But who is behind Internazionale? Er the small matter of Pirelli - yes they have an image and they chose Jose. Real Madrid and the big Spanish banks. Yep didn't stop them either did it? quote:

Well John Terry is pretty fitting of that word. But then so is Roy Keane - but Ferguson gets a free pass does he? Franco Baresi was a choir boy was he? quote:
You obviously admire the man I find him at his best, charming and witty - at his worst, boorish, graceless and embarrassing. However, I can appreciate his contribution to the game. I can appreciate his achievements. quote:
Sorry to burst your bubble but there are many managers out there who won right and left. Disingenuous once again. There are a select number of managers who have won the champions league and the top divisional championships. To win so many, with different clubs, in different leagues - and with such little failure? No there are not many in his league at all. quote:
No rocket science, having the best squad is the deal. And like it or not Mr M inherited great squads in Italy, Spain and England Disingenuous and simply wrong once again. How many managers have inherited great squads and failed e.g. Benitez at Inter, Scolari at Chelsea. If the squads he inherited were so great - and won so much - why was he placed in as manager? Surely the previous incumbent at Porto and Inter had just won the Champions League? Surely the previous incumbent at Chelsea had won the top division? No? Oh..... maybe its not that easy eh? quote:
And no, he did not get the job done this year (and the other years he failed). So Ferguson, Wenger, Ancellotti, Mancini etc etc - none of these ever had a fallow year? Really? You sure about that? No, thought not because its more nonsense. Sorry, your hatred of the man means you cannot see the wood for the trees. Ho hum....
