Well, apparently FdB is off the list, with Pochettino emerging as the favorite.
F*** that, Levy. Go get Benitez, please. Time after time we've tried playing aesthetically pleasing, open football and only gotten spankings and humiliations for our troubles. The likes of Wenger and Guardiola are impossibly rare to find: managers who play both good football and win consistently. We won't find one like that this summer. The managers who're succeeding across Europe (Simeone, Conte, Jorge Jesus, Rafa) are succeeding by creating sides that are both defensively excellent and lightening quick on the counter, that play direct, effective football.
We have the chance to appoint one this summer, if rumors are to be believed. We should. Mumorn's right, we need to start f*cking winning, pretty football be damned. We've had 20 years of trying to play pretty and failing, with two pathetic League Cups and one CL finish to show for it. We've under-achieved, again and again and again, until now even the title of London's most aesthetically pleasing side has been wrested away from us and given to Arsenal.
**** that ****. Time to start winning. By any means necessary. Once we have trophies under our belt, we can dictate to others what the perfect style of football should be. Until then, let's just focus on winning.
And I don't know about anyone else, but an FA Cup, or a EL trophy, or a PL title would utterly floor me with delight. Finishing 8th by conceding 100 goals and scoring 101, with no trophy to show for it? That f*cking wouldn't.
