Guardiola, Ancelotti and Ferguson are the best of the last 30 odd years. You could make an argument for all 3 to be the very bestQuote:

Could Pep and the rest take a team from the lower part of the 2nd tier to winning the top league and the European Cup 2 years in a row with limited money. Fergie always surrounded himself with top assistants.Quote:

Would have to say Alex Ferguson and Pepe Guardiola as the best
Outsider maybe Mircea Lucescu ?
Pep has worked miracles with Barca, Bayern and Man City on shoestring budgets. Man is a genius.

There is no doubt he improves players though. Stones & Ake from Everton & Bournemouth, phenomenal performances from both this season.Quote:

Who was it that said money doesn’t buy success?

Press conference alone will be worth it
Seems the obvious choice. Will probably do well there againQuote:

I'm baffled as well about it , for me he's definitely the best choice for the job . I thought the football was good when Rodgers at them the last time . Think it's more to do with the way he left tbh . The Celtic fans I've asked over here about " what you think of Rodgers coming back ?" Generally gets met with a response " He can get to ....... Or rat and Judas are quite popular words 😂. Think if he comes in and does well all will be forgiven though first sign of a blip and it probably will turn toxic for him .Quote:
