Couldn’t disagree more you will be surprised to hear! I think he is exactly what they are looking for. He is off the wall, out there and all those things. Most of all his teams are exciting to watch. Personally I think TB and PB can’t believe their luck.
About a month has passed since that and I've heard enough noises from TB and PB to think he might stick about after all
Agree he is unlikely to move anywhere in the summer. More (but still very limited) risk of him walking because he is angry about something than some club actually poaching him. It is too soon. 8 wins in 19 PL games is good but too few games and not quite on a level where FC Barcelona are going throw Xavi out the window to bring in De Zerbi. These clubs are going to want another season of good/decent results and good/decent football before chasing him down.
I agree with you on City being his likeliest next (eventual) destination. Pep has outlasted his two previous roles, which leaves the question of how to interpret why he's been more attached to City. I'd doubt he'll stay there for a decade, for instance.
Was a bunch of bollocks, had a laugh. Nothing to get upset about.I read that and thought yep, that seems about right. Then I saw underneath is said some people had liked your post:
"Brok, Nobby Cybergoat, Green Cross Code Man and 4 others"
But it also showed that one of them and selected the laughing emoji. What ****ing idiot has done that I wondered, and then I realised. Yep, sure enough, it was
Again, weirdly hostile
Especially if Darren England is in the middle!
Well we don't hate Allegri, especially not right now. There's still two factions inside the fanbase, one of which wants him out, but he's recently racked up results and in terms of points made on the pitch we're solidly second in the league - well behind Napoli obviously, but that's just how it is given the season they're having. He's also managing an incredibly difficult situation and seeing us through without much fuss - if there's one thing all Juve fans like is his personality and him as a person and communicator, he's a witty and good man.
Typo?
Inter and Milan aren't exactly happy with their respective coaches at the moment, and I'm sure if there was the possibility Milan especially would come running, given also that De Zerbi comes from their Youth sector. But as you said, there's currently no reason at all why he should choose to come back to Italy other than to stay close to his family.
Not a typo but not also not literal; fascist in the metaphorical sense - ultra-pragmatic men who do their job without saying much, don't say anything, rule their position with iron fist - complete command and control. Roberto is a bit more warm and unpredictable and it shows in the football. Except for the odd Sarri, RDZ is maybe not Juventus DNA (Allegri, Lippi, Capello etc) ... unless you/they want to change that?
Swanny arguing with himself because he’s bored ?
Welcome, thanks for the insights.
Hmm while I do understand what you mean, I'm not sure you know much about Allegri. He's the complete opposite of what you describe. He is pragmatic, that he is, but he's not authoritarian at all (unlike Conte etc.) Being pragmatic is the main feature anyone who works at Juve should have.
That would be quite funny but unfortunately I don't even know how to say hi in Swedish, and I'm very much biased towards RDZ rather than Potter. I'm sure your mods can confirm I'm not Swansman with an Italian mustache lol.
Yeah that sounds about right ahah, as that guy told you he's considered a very exciting coach but also a risky one, someone who bets everything on the attack and doesn't compromise. At the time this was seen as a little too careless for big clubs over here.
He would have done better to use Google Translate into Italian then back again, might have seemed more genuine.
You popped on the message board with perfect English and called a poster. ‘Swanny’ several times with your first post - who’d have thought
