Really growing as a person in this thread I wouldn't say I was playing down his achievements, obviously winning 4 titles in a row is good going but when he's managed 3 clubs and been a disaster at 2 of those then it does kinda look like he's just not a very good manager. He could go elsewhere after this and come good but I don't see it because he seems to just want to stick to the tactics that won him titles in Holland and those aren't going to work at the likes of Crystal Palace. Impossible to tell if he would be a success here either but if I had to guess I'd say it would probably go the same way as Warburton's time here did. Unless we handed him a ridiculous transfer budget to get the suitable players in that could play his way. Really growing as a person like you do when you wear the tarrier strip I'm not sure, sometimes people are just a good fit for a club/structure. Ajax has historically been a very well ran and organised set up from youth level to the full first team, christ we were talking about the last time Aberdeen won the league and that was early 80's, Ajax won the champions league in 95. So maybe that job suited him with the structure of the club all aimed at him getting the best for his first team. Not even sure why this is the bears den because it has very little to do with us at all, apart from us being loosely linked with him before Pedro came in.

Fucking scored for them on Saturday as well Ajax would be a good fit for him because he'll know the club inside out and pretty much has a conveyor belt of talent coming through all ready to play their style of football. It's a different thing entirely going to a foreign country and trying to implement that straight away without having those players there. He either needs a club that's going to allow him to buy the players he needs straight away or give him time to get the players at the club used to his system or he's going to have to adjust his tactics. So far neither of those has happened for him hence why he'll be unemployed again soon enough. I agree it shouldn't be in the bears' den. First time I seen the thread I was half expecting it to be a suggestion that we go in for him when Palace give him the bullet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucks with the head mate, i used to end up with irrational hatred for cunts because their posts but keep them on my page so i could see how cuntish they were Wasting an hour after work (despite using it all day at work) reading utter shite and killing motivation to do stuff in the process. Never been so focussed on my gym stuff and that since i chucked it. Only good if yer chasing yer hole and single Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what have i actually got wrong? I thought it was mostly just opinions we were giving? The facts i stated about how many times PSV/FEYENOORD won the league were correct to my knowledge. The picture attached shows what you just got wrong though I remember Kenny Miller being excellent at home to Italy and away to Norway in that group. That and the next European Qualifiers was the last time I really bothered with the Scotland team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was finished when we got him. But he was some player in his day, I never wanted him and glad we did not go for him, but then we got Pedro and I wish we went for him. As you say good luck to him and I hope he gets the wins he needs to get out of this and up the table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like nobody knows their role...generally dont look like they know the style which is hardly surprising. These changes always take time which is something he wont have. Wrong appointment.
