^^ your advice awaits you on the Man Yoo thread. Read and Meditate upon it.

I'll cite an example from Brazil to buttress my point. If you remember a Brazilian captain called Socrates in the 80's, he played for Corinthians or so i can't quite nail it now so I'll check up and post a link later. You see, He and mates got tired of the whole coach thing and decided to run the club like a democracy. They voted on when to train, who to play etc. and didn't do too badly. The problem is that that model wasn't sustainable and after a while they assumed status quo.

This thing we're arguing about is like the age old "chicken and the egg, which comes first ?".
Clubs need to make as many variables as possible work in their favour then try their best to reach their goal.
Every one has their opinion on this one and It's like that.
Check this, would you prefer a Shaibu Amodu coached Brazilian national team or Mourinho coached South African team ? I'm sure every one will have a reason for choosing either.

Slim and V3, i nor dey o. If you people start a riot on Nairaland i won't fight together with you o. I'll just give you petrol and tyres to help redecorate dayo's thread

East bay east bay east bay. What can i say ? I've tried to show it you but you refuse. Check my Trivia i said cos those i posted it for understood where i was going.

I've given up now but I'll leave you with a little advice.
You know they say if There's anything worse than being stupid/foolish/daft/. . . (find a synonym of your choice), It's for one to be Ambitious and stupid/foolish/daft/. . . (find another synonym of your choice).

Your intentions are noble no doubt, you're trying to hold the fort by having an opinion of your own, but the problem is you just don't have the aptitude for such tasks.
Your type is what we call the band Wagon, minion, goon. Just stick to Emporoh's ideas (though they are wrong ) and stop trying to exceed you brain capacity. Do you know what happens to an over loaded transformer ?

Ambition and . . . .(found a synonym yet ?) are a deadly mix, so dont keep trying to do them both.

The boy is not yet a first team starter but He's already causing havoc. Lady and Gentle men, Aaron Ramsey just claimed his first victim, George Burley just lost his job

I'd pull that blunt fork right out of my eye and shove it deep into your as* hole.

Isn't Benitez a great Coach ? What about Van ghaal , Koeman and Schuster ? I'm telling you good coaches need good players and a number of other factors to go their way to reach the peak. What happened to Ramos at Spurs ? Didn't he have a decent side ? combined with the fact that He's also great.

You'd be surprised what would happen to Wenger if he left for Madrid next season. Conditions and some other factors could send him packing by winter.
Fact is, good coaches need decent players and a whole lot of other factors to go their way.

^^ Chill pill daddyo . He's still red and white.

Is it good for a 27 year old man to date a 14 . . . .

To be honest i didn't even bother reading the thread but i know thrash when i see it. The topic is not even humourous if the intention was humour.

Come on Girls ! I can't keep it up all night you know .

Okay ! Three hookers for alone ? Let's go girls , who's first ?

England along with countries like Brazil and Sierra leone have (i) clubs that absolutely abhor releasing their players for age group tourneys especially during the season (ii) players that are semi professionals who don't highly esteem those tourneys.

PS: your premature ejaculations over the coefficients you stacked as shown in may should subside when 4 Italian and 2 French teams make it into the Knock out stages and no German clubs do. Same thing too in Europa where Bremen were your saviours last season.

But guys you've got to admit that without the Man power, resources and other factors, a coach aint shet .

Look at the squad the Lord of prudent management, prince of Emirates, Wenger used to win the league of 98 season: Overmars, Bergkamp, Petit, Adams, keown, Wright . . . . All of them were full international for major soccer countries .
2002: Wiltord, Henry, Viera, 1/2Pires, Ljunberg, Papillo . . . . Only Pires missed the world cup on that least as a result of injury.

Even the Arsenal 2004 squad, the Valencia and Porto teams were not by any means mean squads.

Amodu just qualified Nigeria for the World cup for the second time, believe me the sucks contrary to what the results tell you.

This is such a crazy week, injuries, victories and losses all at once.

But this David Alaba Market has to be the pick of them all. dayo , we've been telling you your trophies don't mean shet .

A team couldn't exceed 3 in the old format but It's now four.

So the only way Fergie could have caused that increase is if he was having mind blowing sex with Lenny .

Fergie : was it good for you baby ?

Johansson: you what pumpkin ? Just for blowing my brains out i'm going to reward you by ensuring you always appear in europe.

Fergie : o thank you love, but just how'd you do that ?

Lenny : simple ! I'l double the amount of teams in the group stages so you'll have one more extra spot cos i know my baby girl'll never finish lower than third in that league you already influence. Come to daddy. . . .

@Eastbay, i meant that since "Wenger" joined us not our entire history you scare crow. If you check a trivia i posted last monday you'd understand.

Besides in 94 we even did better by winning an European trophy . This east in your name must be must have been derived from L east . Least brains, least thinking, least understanding, . . . . Should i go on ?

Dude, There's no denying that coefficients determine how many slots a league has. The thing is no league in Europe would have 4 slots in the old format. If the size wasn't increased, there wouldn't have been a spot for Chelsea to reach the knock outs would there ? And wouldn't have been a fourth slot for us to steal from Borussia dortmund.

Do you think It's easy to fill 16 slots/sluts ?

Dudu space , it is time to justify those Crozillian dollars we spent. Rise to the occasion our son, the stars are aligned and it is your time

*chants* huba huba huba huba hey !

And so after it was expanded the more competitive leagues naturally got the lion share(Yes yes i know, Coefficients too). But as time went by and with the introduction of players like Henry into England, Bundesliga dropped out of the Big Three entitled to 4 spots.

@sauron, that's why i love you like a brother. East bay on the other hand i hate, get behind me satan

There's no denying that by being by far the best team in England in the middle and late 90s, Man Us continued appearance in the knock outs "aided" Englands cause . But for the love of Christ if my Daddy were buy a bigger house with 20 rooms, would there still be any need for his 13 children to struggle over 10 dinghy rooms ? I believe we'd even open our doors to strangers don't you think ?

And ofcourse after 99, the exploits of teams like Leeds, Chelsea, New castle and may be one or two important English clubs allowed for it to eventually reach four.

Like you just said, Len Johansson bought a bigger house.

@ritch you dey try o. Arguing with a carcass isn't my idea of a happy hour.
The ravaging idiot doesn't even know what the whole idea of coefficient means. How can a sane human being possibly think one teams performance is responsible for 4 English teams being in Europe ?

@eastbay, i'll give an example to help you grasp this since all other efforts seem futile. I'll speak slowly too

P l a t i n i s i n c e b e c o m i n g UEFA p r e s i d e n t h a s s h o w n h e p l a n s t o h e l p t e a m s f r o m s m a l l e r l e a g u e s m a k e i t i n t o t h e U C L v i a c h a n g e o f p o l i c i e s .

I said earlier that was the case in 2002 when UEFA changed the 2nd group stage into a knock out round after most european stars turned up injured in Korea.
Do you see here another determining factor other than the "co efficients" in which you are also wrong ?

@ sauron help me with this, when was the first group stage increased to 32 teams ? I can't seem to find the answer.

dayo , I'll pray for you, may be the lord can still rescue you from the abyss.

The stars are already aligned, Arsenal is winning the title.

Thank God Chelsea have been hit worse. Only that diabolic Scot left to even out.

Better than being a still born Stone

Even worse Sharon, you'll be sodomized with a ram horn wrapped with Magun
