    We only had one good attacker. Vinicius became a great player when he left. Would not call it a massive failure. He won a league title.

    Fucking hell. We are rotating Carlo and Zizou since 2013 like there’s no other manager. I love Zizou and would love to have him back but it’d be a nice change if we get someone else.

    Their improvement last season was due to many factors, not just Alonso. I think he’ll be a good one but let’s just chill. He hasn’t proven much yet.

      This. Bayer had a decent squad for a while now. If anything they had underperformed previous years.

    At this point it’s all but confirmed Xabi will be our next manager, right? godspeed, hopefully florentino supports him and sign the players he wants/needs to succeed.

      I don’t think you guys have it in you to sack him. And that’s understandable. So Klopp is Liverpool manager until he decides he no longer is

          They were only struggling because their former coach was proper garbage. Definitely not a bad job Xabi Alonso is doing, but the hype is too much imo.

              Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.

                  Lmao yeah, Wenger at least got top 4 every season. It took Arsenal almost a decade to find their form again.

                  Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

                  He went on to work for FIFA on football policies, but as far as coaching is concerned he’s basically retired (not officially but he’s 73 and seems to be enjoying his life so I think coming back out to coach isn’t on his agenda).

          Solskjaer’s initial few months at United was very good right until it wasn’t.

                I don’t think Tuchel will last till next summer at Bayern, so I fully expect Alonso to join Bayern.
