Tin pot club, no ambition etc. etc.
Interesting video on Nagelsmann's tactics.
He does not send out the same formation game after game, hasn't done so at any of his stops. The shape of the team is opponent-dependent and he wants to be unpredictable. That would be rather novel in England.
His whole methodology is meant to combat the Klopp-style pressball that has now taken over the Premier League, to exploit teams eagerness to close down space. Makes some sense in that way, it seems conceptually similar to De Zerbi-ball.
Done deal #ITK 
Yep, this is my view too. I've no idea if he's happy with the international job but there are so many his age that doesn't like working almost part-time, they want to smell the grass every day so to speak.
But what a win it would be, or at least one that negates so many risks involved when appointing DoF and Manager/Head Coach.
Assuming there was no historical fallout that I am unaware of, they know each other, have worked extremely well together (I believe Rangnick loved him when he first appointed him). Most importantly both are associated with the same philosophy of how to play, Rangnick is well known for finding the right profile of players required.
Maybe I'm living in dreamland, but honestly, this is staring us in the face. A blank canvas for the two of them to paint on at a Club that will have money to spend. That potentially already has a crop of great young players that weren't given the chance under Conte.
I adore Poch and would welcome him back in a heartbeat but today, right now at this moment in time I would take Nagelsmann over him, as too Di Zerbi. The biggest reason for this is we absolutely 100% need a DoF in place, one that owns and nurtures a philosophy. Poch's record of working with DoF's is poor and without one his recruitment is highly suspect. We need a time of stability across all our football operations from the academy to 1st team, end this cycle of with every hire and fire we jump 180 degrees in direction of our style of play.
He might as well take the Celtic job.
Yep.
They do like to box themselves into corners don't they?
The Kane thing is genuine but in that 100% they (Bayern) want him, so he does the tapping up for them.
Nagelsmann will not go to us unless or until we can satisfy him of our DoF set-up, so much of this is just hot air and click-baiting.
Not having a DoF right now is a massive opportunity for us because if we are smart (loooooool) we can approach him and tailor-make an environment that he wants, and that he's comfortable with. "What DoF do you want to work with". "If we appoint him would you work at Tottenham".
I said this when the news broke that he had been fired, I stand by this even more strongly now that he taken one look at Chavs and seen they are in shit
This is probably our best option to be fair.
Apparently someone was in the Tesco’s next to the stadium earlier buying all the sauerkraut and German sausages!Have they booked the golf course yet?
I think this bloke is just a bigheaded little twat. He's achieved a lot at his age but you still need to remain humble.
He wrung an unbelievable amount out of pretty ordinary and/or old players in the latter years of his tenure.
He won the title and made the CL final with a team whose leading scorers were Berbatov and Chicharito.
41 year old in goal, only 4 players made 30+ league starts, one of whom was Nani.
His last team was probably even weaker, albeit with that supernova of a season from van Persie (lol)
This brings up an interesting hypothetical.
But first, let's assume your brain was made of gold. The average human brain weighs 3 pounds, and gold is currently worth ~£20k/lb. This makes your entire golden brain worth £60k - meaning anyone would likely still be homeless, assuming they were so with a non-golden brain.
No matter, let's get to the hypothetical: at £20k/lb, how much of your brain would you be willing to part with? Keep in mind, you can apparently get about £4k for your "spare" kidney.
Called a joke mate
Of all the people to call someone out for a childish response, you're probably the worst offender on the forum, you seem to have to the self awareness of a cardboard box.
An underdog would be overstating it. But City and Chelsea definitely had stronger squads top to bottom and United cantered to the title by 11 points anyway.
Ferdinand was 34, Scholes was 38 and in his final season and Giggs was 39. And tons of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleverley, Jonny Evans, etc mixed in.
I don't even remember who Anders Lindegaard is to be honest, but he started 10 games in goal, de Gea must have gotten hurt.
Anyway, moral of the story, I think Fergie's record is just astonishing in every period of his career. He's the top coach in the game's history and I don't think it's a terribly close call. Which is not to say his record isn't padded by financial advantages, but unlike the Pep's of the world he showed his quality without 11 world class players in the team every week too.
The same guy who did that in 2012-13 also ended 15 years of Old Firm dominance with Aberdeen in 1979-80. The breadth is unfathomable, nobody else is even close.
