your top 5 liked/disliked managers

[roy]

Like:
Mourinho: isn't he just special? Sir Bobby Robson's student.
Guardiola: met him lots of times, great man.
Wenger: super.
Avram Grant: great man, I hope he'll manage Iran one day.
Chris Houghton: did what Keegan did 18 years ago but doesn't get enough credit, even I used to slag him off. Turned a dismantled team to a unit.

Dislike:
Fergie: the man is just a C U N T.
Steve Bruce: Fergie's pupil, a fat geordie bastard managing the mackems!
Capello: just something about him (Juve scandal, tax problems) But great manager.
Daei: as a footballer legend but I will never forget 2010 qualifying campaign.
Shearer: same as Daei, made my life hell end of last season, put Gutierrez on the bench in the last game & played Edgar!

you like Domenech

now this is new, and I can see SAF and Rafa are topping the hate list here

yeah Domenech is one of my favorite coaches of all time. i would love if he coached Iran after he's done with france. he's been criticized ALOT, but the man is jsut the perfect NT coach for any team.. he is the one who took france to world cup finals.. it wasn't just zidane, ribery, malouda and henry.. france was barely getting out of the group stages, until he stepped them up.. otherwise Germany 2006 would of turned out to be ANOTHER Japan/Korea 2002 for France.

ok let me start with Benitez, he has a better record at Liverpool in his first 5 years than Ferguson and Wenger did at man utd and arsenal and the facts are there. but he is old blood on the other hand, the guy is really not that great of a coach anymore and i think he is holding liverpool back in some ways (and sure, liverpool had a bunch of injuries.. but this guy doesnt know wtf he's doing anymore) (Robbie Keane at 20 million?! just because Alonso was leavin?)
i say even if he does beat athletico and gets the europa league trophy AND manages to finish top 4 (which i doubt), he should still be let go. change it up, be like chelsea if you have to, chelsea are about to have the best run of their history with ancelotti.

well, you are the first person I know who likes Domenech, people tend to give credit to Zizou for taking France to WC finals, as opposed to Domench. and the fact that France sucked in Euro 08, and struggled and needed to cheat to make WC 2010 doesn't help Domenech's case either


anyways, about Benitez, his team selections and substitutions are weird sometimes, but he made 2 CL finals in his first 3 years and took Liverpool to their best PL campaign in 20 years. I am critical of him at times, but sometimes I am tempted to give him one more year to fix the mess he brought up this year. simply because he's been successful before this season.
and come on, every manager buys flop players. Quaresma 20M, Berbatov 30M, Anderson 18M, Shevchenko 30M, and many more

especially, now that new owners will come, Benitez have more $$ to spend this summer, so if next season he wasn't successful again, he can't blame it on lack of funds and that'd be the time he gets the sack.

only I wish he started Aquilani more....he's magic everytime he starts, and then gets either sick or benched the next game.


ps. the prospect of meeting Barcelona (or whoever CL winner is) in August excites me, especially with new additions, so let's go and win the fukin EL

and umm, can we not be like Chelsea ....changing 4-5 managers in 4-5 years is insane for a top team. it's rather ridiculous. sacking Grant when he was one penalty kick away from CL was a criminal offense. and with the squad Chelsea possesses they should have wrapped the titme a month ago or so, not relying on us to put a weakened side against them in a couple of week

Liverpool is sex

Zizou did too, and I give him ALOT of the credit, but I was saying It wasn't just him. Zidane is up there right next to pele and maradona (i will always keep him up there in my heart and if you asked my who my all time 3 favorite players are, i will respond in this order Zizou, Kaka and Figo). But make no mistake, It was Domenech who called zidane and thuram back (Ali Daei couldn't call Ali Karmi back if he a sikh of burning kabob up his ass) It was Domenech who changed the tactics in the third game against togo, It was Domenech who brought his team to the fifa world cup finals and would of won it, but it got personal between zidane and marco and caused teh blow (not sure you could blame domenech for that). Otherwise you owe domenech a fifa world cup for 2006. After cisse got injured right before the wc, france had some major trouble coming their way, but domenech quickly fixed those problems (witch a NT coach it's much different, because you work with what your given.. you can't go off and buy players to replace injured players) I categorize NT coaches and Club coaches in different categories most the time though.

Sure euro 2008 wasn't successful, but there was a mistake of ego's after zidane left and the problem never left.. and without doubt, domenech should be blamed, but why did France not drop him? think about that. I would still keep him up as one of the greatest coaches of football. I don't know why, but for some reason I don't care for Henry's cheat against Rep. Ireland... I guess http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...02/1655616.stm (the 2nd leg of course) keeps coming back to mind, so I suddenly think It was "OK" and am VERY glad it happend (could be my sensitivity for TM )

If france blow at this WC, domenech should and will be dropped, Because the Firepower is there. but what happends If Domenech takes them to the finals again? I say watch him do his magic, see that he can do it without Zizou.

Like:

Paulo Sousa - excellent player, will be a top manager soon. Has got Swansea playing some great football.

Moyes - brilliant manager, methodical and steady in his team building on limited resources. always eloquent and fair in his post match assessment, hard but fair - a class act

Wenger - for his footballing ideology, faith in youth and entertaining and stubborn refusal to bow down to modern football's financial excesses. needs to be more gracious in defeat

Guardiola - was a real footballer and now has faith in real football players. great football, eloquent, good suits.

Roy Hodgson - for the way he pronounces R's if nothing else. Intelligent manager with success in several leagues. Multilingual, polite and a nice guy.



Dislike:

-Mourinho: clearly believes his talking and entertainment he provides off the pitch has to make up for his lack of football on the pitch. self promoting idiot

-Ferguson: lacks class. influences referees, tries to bully reporters into not asking him any tough questions and his vendetta against to the BBC is pathetic and sums up the man. xenophobic comments over the years (about Italians and recently Germans) are a disgrace

-Benitez: can never take defeat gracefully, always has an excuse. no personal skills, doesn't have faith in his players ability and doesn't let real, talented footballers play football. It must be awful to play for him.

-O' Neill: Irritating. The media love him, but the tortured intellectual act gets quite annoying very quickly.

-Allardyce: Part of Ferguson's clique. Fat Sam's anti-football is effective but short sighted. The game would be better off without him.

[HuSsAiN]

Its not only Ferguson that doesn't chat to BBC. It's Redknapp and Sam Allardyce too.

[zereshk-ali]

I don't like them much either
