Agreed however it would be interesting to see him at another club. They could win the Champions League with Robson in charge, it’s unbelievable how they somehow do it. Link to comment

He's certainly not "a cheque book manager" though, whatever the fuck that is meant to mean. Link to comment
Roberto Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Do you watch a lot of La Liga football Parklife? I'm not setting you up for anything here. I just didn't expect you to be a fan or fitba outwith Scotland. Don't know why. Link to comment

Mostly from when I've been going to foreign games and I've bought a £12 top off DHGate before going. Used to be a shop in Falkirk called "mega sports" which sold loads of obscure/random foreign shirts for cheap too. Bought a few from there for wearing to fives.

No one called him a genius. He also won the league 2 out of his 4 seasons. He never "failed" on anything. Link to comment

Fairly average for Madrid. I just don't rate him - as a manager. I reckon in England he could win the league with Man City but not with any other club. Link to comment

However given Pep, widely acknowledged as one of the greatest managers/coaches/tacticians of his generation, has won as many UCL's in about 18 years as Zidane won in 4(5?) though, I don't understand why. I'd like to though. What do you think Zidane's weaknesses are that mean he wouldn't be a success at, say for example, Liverpool? Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 ZZ is a oddity in management, only ever managed Real Madrid, all on his own terms and when it doesn’t feel right he leaves but doesn’t get another job, been out of football management for nearly 3 years. Not sure you can truly say how “good” he is or isn’t. Link to comment

It's just a gut feeling I suppose. I get the impression that he wants everything his own way and would throw the toys out the pram if he didn't get it. The argument of CL wins doesn't hold water either unless you rate him above SAF for the same reason. Calum Davidson won two cups in one season here but he was still in the end a pretty shit manager, though your reasoning would put him above most managers in Scottish football history. Link to comment
