Eph forget that once u are good u are good, take Marco Silva for example he couldn't save Hull city from relegation but clubs are seeking for his signature.....

Tell me which sane club will allow an egomania like Roy keane to coach them

ChristineC:
the testimonial reference was a cheeky sling, he certainly had a testimonial game.

thing is he's always taken shots since he abandoned the club midway through a season fully knowledgeable that the club had no replacement at the time, he had hoped for a collapse engineered by his jumping ship and probably Sir Alex prostrating to have him back. None of that even remotely happened to his dismay.

He lambasted 'below average' Darren Fletcher to bits, the same man took up his position and anchored, alongside Michael Carrick, title wins to his utmost embarrassment. he's not constructive in his criticisms of anything connected to the club and it's easy to smell the grief.

he has beef with both the club and Jose Mourinho. I remember quotes of him saying if Jose Mourinho tried shaking his hands before the game was over (as he always did when he won his last league title with Chelsea) he'd punch him square in the face. annoying character from Jose Mourinho, yes but Uncle Ade, that's personal beef.

MRTA7:


So how do you know the aims for the season you stated when Jose said with his own mouth the aim was to win the league?

eph12:

On paper, United and City were expected to run away with the trophy last season. Every football pundit or analyst shared same sentiment before the season kicked off proper. Of the top teams, we were the real contenders and others pretenders alongside City.

Yeah I don't expect Pep to. Same with other top coaches around but I wonder what would happen if we take away the money from some of them top coaches

Oasis007:






We were expecting JM to win the League because on Paper the Squad is fantastic with a great Manager - We were optimistic.

However, it wasn't the same on the Pitch when the Season began, and were so stubborn to be realistic.

CapitalCee:


I am not among those that worship pep, but he together with Jose have paid their dues as top managers, Keane could not cut it anywhere that was why he has not been allowed to manage any big team. Most of the big managers we know today have done well to deserve there promotion to the big time hence the amount of money given to them, pochetino transformed Espanol from relegation fodders to European football, he did same at Southampton before spurs came calling, Ferguson lead Aberdeen to break the old firm club Scottish league duopoly, and won the old European Cup, defeating Real Madrid all with little Aberdeen, after that he lead Scotland to their first world cup before United employed him, Wenger won Ligue one with then unfancied Monaco.

Now coming to the 2 examples people are lazily labelling cheque book managers Pep and Jose, for all I know is just a farce .
Pep joined a Barca team that have not won Laliga for 3 years running, he started by promoting Pedro and Segio busquets bringing back Young pique from man u for only 5 million euros. Let important senior players like Ronaldinho, Marquez,Deco, thuram,zambrotta and van bommel to go, bringing in Dani Alves, we know what happened that season....wait! Before you start listing the players he have, xavi iniesta and Messi, but he integrated them fully into the team without spending much. He won the lot.

Now Jose whom many try to criticize even if he raise the dead. He started as a full manager at relegation club Union liera, just like Keane, and finished comfortable mid table, then Porto called him due to his exploits, at that time Benfica where champions, he lead Porto to league,cup and UEFA cup treble in his first season, the following season he took unfancied Porto to win the champions league as well as the league again without spending millions, this catapulted him to stardom, he KL left for Chelsea and won EPL in his first season with the league Cup, with record points not equaled to this day. He repeated the same a year later after Fergie outfought him the next season(who won't be?) He was sacked by the Russian(Scolari and Ancelloti suffered the same). He left for inter that has been in the shadow of Juventus and ac Milan for decades and won the seria A at first attempt. During his second season he lost his best player and top scorer Zlatan to Barcelona in a swap deal involving Etoo, inter received about €45m, he brought pandev and Lucio for free, he brought Diego milito and Thiago Motta for a combined fee of 17m pounds. Then promoted Balloteli, he won the treble, league, Copa Italia and the big one. Spending almost nothing and gaining 45m euros. Have you seen that Jose doesn't really spend loads of money everywhere he goes.
So if Keane want to be given money as you are imagining he should prove himself

Borussia Dortmund sporting manager Michael Zorc has revealed to Sky in Germany they have not received an official bid for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

capitalcee you neva even see anything,just wait till pre season,d negative and bad vibes would come up again...

apart from Chelsea,which English team had a better season than us..

no wonder a poster once said that people that pay to watch united matches in England are better fans than most peeps in nairaland..though I don't agree with him,but you can't help but see an iota of truth in what he said when looking from another perspective...if Manu was in Nigeria,d peeps that bash the team week in weekout won't pay to go and watch them live now..if d only job of supporting the team from here they fail,is it then to now pay and watch

They say Pep And mourinho especially must prove that all they won wasn't luck.

CapitalCee:


Mourinho have proven that he is a winner everywhere he goes. Even this current Madrid team, he converted it immediately from a round of 16 exit team to the likes of Lyon to UCL contenders, he also won Laliga in the midst of peak Messi,iniesta and xavi. He won the league on his return to Chelsea, so what is he proving again? It's just like telling Fergie to come back and win all the trophies he won to prove its not luck. Is that not a stupid talk?

Segadem:
Mourinho has nothing to prove again but Pep has

PietroRico:
£60m degea bid rejected from Madrid.
I'm not so scared of losing degea tbh, especially if he wants the move

De Gea is a world class keeper, loosing him should worry a faithful fan

Guy, e no go easy ooo. But considering what Moyes and gaal put us through we had to call this season a success.

Segadem:

AdisaOwala:


God forbid...if Mourihno fails (and gets sacked), we would probably also have to "forcefully appreciate" whatever little success his replacement achieves (even if he clearly falls short of expectations) and alas - the vicious cycle of Mediocrity continues, despite the huge investments...

If we continue to use the disastrous regimes of Moyes & Gaal as a yardstick to rate our manager(s), (I no wan know if na on 1st season basis or not), we might be in for a long thing.

*In Keane's Voice* - " It's been 4 years since Sir Alex retired" Bruh!!!

fourfourfour:


wat does pep have to prove, dat he can win d treble again with academy graduates...

no matter how we see it even wenger is a successful manager n history agrees with dis.

bros, Pep had just begun his coaching career

MRTA7:
Atletico Madrid have had their transfer ban upheld. Meaning they cannot sign/register any new players till January 2018. I don't think this will help us sign Griezzy if we're after him.

Also Lacazette coming to the premier league.
