Jimzk5 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If pellegrini goes there I'd put money on him being sacked by January. Totally wrong manager for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yep.. I would have hoped that Pellegrini realises this, and doesn't take the job. Love what he did at Villarreal, and is currently doing at Malaga. Top Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 not sure he had the egos at Madrid on side and he got their highest points total in their history. nothing else for him at Malaga. has showed he can deal with egos before like Riquelme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avb was brought there to change the future and playing style of the club and was sacked 6 months later. Pellegrini will be much the same. How many managers have they hired and fired there? 6/7?

coda Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 John **** Terry has decided he fancies a trip to Brazil and wants to play for England again. I hope Woy doesn't pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Mourinho has lost his touch. 1 La liga and 0 champions league is pretty shit considering the squad and resources he has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Mourinho has lost his touch. 1 La liga and 0 champions league is pretty shit considering the squad and resources he has had. The champions league will grate clearly, but I doubt he'll beat himself up over the league. Being up against the best side ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 the thing that probably grates him the most is this is first time he has lost the dressing room and its also 1st time he has failed at a club. 1 title in 3 years is not really acceptable for Real Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah I think 1 La Liga title is more than he'd have wanted/expected. Though I think his record vs Barca is pretty brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 his record has been more than brilliant and arguably his legacy against this Barcelona team has seen them falter. e.g Bayern adapted basics of the Real approach but were more clinical than Real have against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'd like to see him take a real crap side like Stoke and show what he can do. When you are given a blank check every summer, it's not exactly the best test of your management acumen. No argument that he usually gets the best from his players, but look at the players he's had the good fortune of working with. I don't think he's quite the God that some people think he is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah, or maybe he should take a team from a mediocre league and win the UEFA Cup and the Champions League with them in back to back seasons. THEN we would find out if he is any good or not! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 the thing that probably grates him the most is this is first time he has lost the dressing room and its also 1st time he has failed at a club. 1 title in 3 years is not really acceptable for Real Madrid Real Madrid have unrealistic expectations though. People have been talking the current Barcelona team up as one of the greatest sides the world has ever seen so Mourinho is up against incredibly stiff opposition on the domestic front. The Champions League is notoriously difficult to win, there are half a dozen or more serious contenders for the competition every year and there are always very several very strong dark horses too. Everybody is so rich from the quarter finals onwards that you cant just throw money at the team until you win it either. It's also a cup competition, you need luck as well as a bloody good team to win it. So in the face of all that Mourinho has won one cup and one league title. He could win a second cup next week. His team have made the semi finals of the Champions League in all three of his seasons after spending almost a decade getting beat in the first knockout round (check the history books, it's true) and the season they won the league they set a new points record (100) and also broke league records for most goals scored and biggest goal difference. His win percentage is the second highest in Real Madrid history. It's absolutely ridiculous that people are describing his tenure at the Bernabeu as a failure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't describe his time at Madrid as a failure either. I didn't think anyone would be able to beat Barcelona at the height of their powers and he did it over a league season causing Guardiola to go into a self imposed exile. His record in matches against 'the best team the world has ever seen' has been very good as well. As Rev says, winning the Champions League takes a load of luck, any one of 8 teams could win it and you wouldn't be surprised at any of them.
