Ranieri?

 

[Seagulltonian]

Love his enthusiasm for the game, well respected by other managers, players etc. And very entertaining press conferences and after-match interviews!
So it's a yes from me!

Thing is the last 'Special One' was an absolute cock. Klopp is likeable,

All of this, love his reactions and what he says. Always honest too. Bit like CH but much more of an extrovert.

As said on other thread, there's just something about him that screams 'fake'

I like him because (imo) he is genuine.

 

[W.C.]

I like how he celebrates goals even though he's playing against his old club. The not celebrating thing has got a bit silly if you ask me.

Fake? In what sense?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He has a lot of respect over here from seemingly all areas of the football community. This is quite rare.

Quite. He just seems an all round decent chap to me. Love heavy metal as well....but then most Germans do.

He seems very likeable, and is building his team. He needs a string of successes to be a Special One, which may happen.

I can sort of see where you're coming from, he's certainly over the top, but I think that is just his love for football rather than any sort of acting. Who here hasn't gone absolutely mental when celebrating goals or victories? He is like an irrational fan in that regard.

 

[W.C.]

I also get the impression that although he comes across as a nice guy, he takes no shit whatsoever.

On face value he seems to be a naturally exuberant and overtly passionate personality, but it all feels a bit staged for the cameras and crowd. I may be way off the mark of course.

I love him.

He gets it completely - the players, the game, the fans, the club, the heritage.

He respects the story of the club and at the same time is looking to the future.

He is the master orchestrator.

He is not the special one because he would look at such a moniker and laugh. That makes him genuine (and maybe a bit special).

If Calde became a great manager. He'd be like Klopp.

This article sums him up pretty well - remember him being asked about 'the special one' and he said he wasn't, he was 'the normal one'................

He's been like this for years/decades though. It's some hoax?

Absolutely fair enough, but you can't tell me that such histrionics don't come with some degree of awareness, no matter how small, some degree of 'playing to the front row'. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for personality rather than a dour faced Alan Pardew type.
