What are they getting from him? Yes he’s won a lot, but at clubs where it’s part of their fabric to win. I don’t think he can replicate that at lesser clubs. So what are you getting from him, negative tactics, awful man management. Not much really is it? Yes you quite often see Porto in the latter stages of the CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Been sent an audio file of Jamie Redknapp claiming that his compensation was based around league position. Top 4 was 30m , top 6 less than that and if outside top 6 it’s about 4m. It’s probably doing the rounds on WhatsApp etc but it’s deffo him talking.

Last 16 is a good season for them in the CL so it isnt part of their fabric to compete in that competition. Domestically yes they are expected to and maybe in the UEFA cup or whatever its called now but to win the CL with them was a huge achievement.

Seems to thrive as the underdog maybe? Porto in the CL, Chelsea i dont think had much success before he went there and won the league. Surprised he hasnt done a bit better at Spurs but maybe this season could have kicked on if they win the League cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto who best the traditional European powerhouse of Monaco in the final that year. It was a freak year, in that 2 unfancied teams did remarkable to get so far. Mouribho at Porto, inter and first time at Chelsea was a cut above. This guy these days is dated and past it. Reminds me a bit of wengers decline (though at least wengers lot were still positive in the main) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of wengers decline (though at least wengers lot were still positive in the main) Doesnt matter who you beat in the final you have to get there to be win it in the first place, a bit like Leicester winning the PL pretty much because all the other big clubs imploded that season but they were the ones who were good enough to take advantage so you cant hold it against them. I agree though that in those days he was "the special one" but now just seems like the ordinary one and for his salary (and I presume the high salary of his backroom staff) he doesnt seem to have the effect he used to. Shows how good Ferguson was I suppose to still be competitive at the top level even at the end of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Baggins Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Rumour round these parts are that Bielsa is getting interest from Spurs. Yet to sign a contract at the Scummy lot. They are arrogant but I can tell they are rattled by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see a difficult 2nd season for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
