People on here still using Nagelsmann as a measure or alternative should realise he is holding out for the PSG or Naples job. He just thinks he is better than us so fuck him

River aren't the best team in the league, they have only finished 1st 4 times in 20 years, where as Boca have won it 9 and there have been 11 different winners in that time, it is a very competetive league.
Celtic have won the league 15 times in the last 20.
Gallardo is the most successful coach in River's history and won the Copa Libertadores (champions League equivalent) twice (they have only won it 4 times in history) and Copa Sudamericana (Europa League equivalent) once.
He also won 3 Fa Cup equivalents and 3 European Super Cup equivalents. He has been in 11 Finals and won 9 (1 Loss was v Barcelona in the Club World Cup Final).
Also, Gallardo's success came despite the club constantly selling their best players and he had to keep rebuilding. Gallardo won the Copa Libertadores 3 years apart and only 2 players played in both games for River, 1 started both games and 1 started 1 game and came on as a sub in the other.
The Argentine League maybe an inferior quality, but in its fast, aggressive style and competitiveness, its closer to the PL then any league in Europe and the quality is higher than the Scottish League.
I sense the admiring glances of Scousers in tracksuits.
Just like Slot, Big Ange needs young, hungry, hard working players to work with.
He could be the right man but he needs the full support of the club to rebuild the squad. Unfortunately I don't think Levy will support him in this respect. It will be same " we've invested heavily in this talented squad and we expect you to get the best out of it" bullshit.

I dont get that though.
The first great manager I remember was Martin Jol, and who was he? Some nobody from a midtable Dutch club who became Santini's assistant... hardly inspiring stuff.
Meanwhile everybody applauded us for getting Conte, and look how that worked out.
& I have no issue with the ‘wait and see’ attitude. He might end up being good. But it’s a gamble by the club on an unproven coach.
My issue is when people then counter with ‘But he is proven because he’s won the A-League!’ because it simply isn’t something they’d argue in a different context.
If we get him - full support. Till then, he’s fair game for scrutiny. But yes, C.V isn’t everything, we know that.
To be fair I've not seen anyone say that. I agree it would be overly simplistic to make that claim, but on the flip side achievements in weaker leagues shouldn't be discounted.
I'll pay top dollar for what you're smoking while watching football
I find it hard to imagine a more pedestrian league than the Argentinian one.
Anyone who is able to move Naples is interesting.
Martin Jol didn't win anything and was sacked by Daniel Levy.
Antonio Conte, as actually predicted by many of us when he was appointed, Also didn't win anything and was sacked by Levy.
Do you not see a trend here?
I for one will give a warm welcome to our new manager, Neville Bartos.
Yeh, name me just 1 good, exciting Argentinian player ever.I'll pay top dollar for what you're smoking while watching football
I find it hard to imagine a more pedestrian league than the Argentinian one.
The excuse trending at the moment seems to be "we've hired tried and tested proven world class winners in the past, and look how they turned out"
"So, let's just pluck some old oaf from the bottom of the pile and see how things work out with him"
Honestly. Our fans :contefacepalm2:
Chairman's dream
All these Ange or no Ange debates are great distractions from the fact that the Dork Twins still haven’t appointed a DOF or a manager and don’t look any closer to finding one.
In fact, with Ange not working with a DOF they look even further from even knowing what they want to do.
Fuck the Ange debate, it just gives them more time to dither about and an excuse to not start rebuilding the squad.

Nice one Sevilla. Mouthing us off before match in press then throws medal in crowd after match. Sore loser and classless. Justified we sacked him before cup final. Football was dross.
resignation and bowing to levy's cheap tactics i love it
been saying since Ange started getting talked about
this smells to me as if Levy is looking to max out tourist fan money, ange knows the asian market as does Munn and with out CL money Levy wants a new money stream what's better than a new couple of "Sonny's" from the Asian football area
these tourest fan seem happy to costs of seats and spend £100's in club shop on match days, if that what it takes to keep money rolling in well Levy will take it

Not a direct response to your post. But sorry, this needs to be said.
Your profile pic.
What a disgusting show of disrespect to a man who spent 5 years swimming against the ENIC tide to give many of our fans the proudest, most memorable moments of their Spurs supporting lives.
Call yourself a Spurs fan?
The guy wanted the best for our actual football team and was rewarded with one and a half years of ZERO new players but still took his young team, your team, to within an inch of greatness. Against all the odds.
Of course we want him to fail in his new job for obvious reasons but come on....
Get some self respect, man...... And grow the fuck up!
