I would be incredibly happy if they won the league. Heck, I'd be happy with a top four finish for Leicester; I really want them to shake things up.Quote:

Whatever. Vardy shinned it.
I think this goes for most people out there. Everyone is pretty chuffed to see a new team going toe-to-toe with the big boys.Quote:

Can Gary Neville please be made Man United manager now? :D I'd settle for Ryan Giggs, mind. Though I reckon it is going to be Pochettino and while he's not a superstar name like Guardiola that is a prospect I fear. There's something about him and his teams that really impresses me, and I think he could do great things at United. Pellegrini would be a good choice too but probably not going to happen!
People put way too much stock into what a manager does. In the end, it is all up to players. Considering we have total football, and player positions are fluid, it seems minimal.
I assume that bad transfer actions have to be agreed upon by the board as well, of course.
They won't want Pochettino in the Utd job as he isn't a headline cow. He doesn't have delusions of grandeur (Mourinho), he doesn't keep putting his foot in his mouth at press conferences (Van Gaal), he doesn't pull silly faces on the touchline (Klopp), and he isn't a permanent grump who believes everything is a conspiracy (Wenger). I mean trout, all that the newspapers could print about Pellegrini was that he was too boring for them to print anything about him. Sky Sports News is a 24 hour channel, god damn it!
Perhaps we'll poach that young, fresh, unknown manager who has taken Leicester to the top.
I would prefer it if you didn't. One of my work colleagues lives around the corner from him and every morning I am regailed with tales of what he saw Claudio eating for breakfast through the curtains. At least wait until the restraining order is in place, eh?
Never stop quoting this post.Quote:
