He is one of the hottest possible coaches in the world I know i am running into a trap here with sharkie but whatever  Bayern could be a very interesting project in europe soon. Think about it this is basically still Van Gaals team at the base, neither Heynkes nor Pep really changed the core concepts. After Pep the era of Lahm/Schweinsteiger/Robben/Ribery as the core players will also end. If rebuilding a team with a shitload of money isnt interesting for a coach what is? The only realistic destinations in Germany are Bayern or Red Bull Leipzig if they make it to the first Bundesliga in time, which will be very weird for every Bayern fan because if they make it Bayern wont be the most hated club in Germany. It just fits very well in my opinion. Bayern didnt "buy" him so there will be no new Götze and i think they prefer to have a German coach again (that list is very small). Klopp could stay in germany, coach a top 3 team with a stable management and create a new juggernaut. | ||

 Also adding into the Ancelotti saga i think maybe its a bit harsh, but remember he won La Decima with by far the best squad in Europe or at least best 11 last season. This season they went on a record breaking run right, weren't they like several points ahead before they went off to the FIFA world club cup to then come back and throw it all away and look pretty average? Players ALWAYS like Ancelotti as a manager because he doesn't lose his temper, he is a motivator by being friends with the squad. I think anyone would struggle to find a player who didn't like Ancelotti as a manager. To laid back for me and this is Real Madrid the biggest club in the world. Can't wait to see what Benitez does with the job! He will finally be back home in Spain and managing a club like that with endless talent and money. His rotation policy is also perfect for the squad size and his tactical prowess should make games vs Barca exceptional! Wonder what he will do with Bale and Ronaldo too! Continuing on from some of my quotes re relegation teams next season. You have to add in the fact with Bournemouth this owner hasn't exactly pumped money into it and i see them taking the Burnley approach, the players linked with them are the likes of Lambert etc and some Burnley players in fact. I can't see them spending much more than 30million in total which is nothing in premier league terms. Leicester don't forget started terrible and managed to find some sort of form at the back back end of the season to survive they will need to improve immensely consistency wise. Watford also in same weak financial state to see themselves in need of a miracle to survive. Add in Norwich always get relegated and are pretty much Hull City 2.0, they spend money but so f'n badly its a laugh. Last time they got promoted they bought 4 Leeds players who were mid table in championship lol. | ||

Burnley didn't spend a whole lot, and they'll comfortably go down and make a push for promotion. QPR on the other hand might be slammed with huge fines. Fine balance. Bournemouth did actually spend a lot back in their League 1 days (compared to their earlier expenditure) and probably have the money to nab some good players. I think they want to keep the core of their team strong and have that solidarity that's apparent when you see videos of the lot. That team-spirit can take you a long way. (And look at that: They've signed Boruc permanently after he was released by Saints.) It appears that you've forgotten that Leicester played excellent football in the beginning of the season and almost knocked you and us off (took a point off us, and thoroughly threatened against you), and had 8 points after 5 games. The collapse came later as they ran out of gas and had no luck with their finishing. When I saw that Leicester team play football in the beginning of the season, I said with great certainty that they weren't going to go down. It didn't work out how I thought it would, but they made it to safety again. People knew Leicester were good, they just showed it when it mattered towards the end again. Can't say I'm very knowledgeable about Watford and Norwich, except that Norwich have a young manager and usually play good football when I watch. Norwich did survive two seasons last time, I think, so there's that. Can't wait to have Benitez win the league at Real after people shit-talking him. | ||

Maybe sabbatical -> German national coach 2016 but I doubt Klopp wants to meet his team every 2 months at best. Liverpool still seems like a possible move to me. There is just no cl-club in need of a coach (okay city) so his options aren't the best this summer. lvgs contract ends 2017 and im pretty sure ive heard somewhere that man utd will be his last team. hes getting pretty old now so i dont expect him to extend the contract and he has already talked of giggs succeeding him. 2 years is a long break i guess but im not saying all this is very likely, just that i know klopp is interested in epl and man utd would be at the top of his list out of potential clubs to manage | ||

Only been successful when you have money sounds really derogatory and I guess it is. But it's not easy to spend money successfully in football. My previous post in this thread was lamenting Man City, Spurs and Liverpool’s awful spending and buying of multiple useless players for +£20million a pop. Only been successful when you have money is definitely not great. But knowing what to do with the money when you have it is a skill in its self. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. On an entirely different note Portsmouth in League 2 have been entirely debt free now for almost a year and are still going no where despite by far the biggest attendance and turnover in the league. The fans there have been very patient with the club stabilising and working down it’s debt over the last few years. They have kept coming in their tens of thousands to show their support. But they will start getting pissed off if Portsmouth don’t start showing some ambition to at least get out of League 2. Exeter get another derby game with the promotion of Bristol Rovers back into the football League. The South West clubs seem to collect at the bottom of the football league. I think we're all back in league 2 except Torquay and of course the slightly more ambitious Bristol City. Also why are Leipzig hated? Red Bull money? | ||

And while Hoffenheim is already disliked, it is at least still a real club with traditions and history, instead of just being a commercial opportunity. The idiocy of inventing a new prefix RasenBall (LawnBall) in order to get the RB is a brilliant example. And as NuclearJudas said, they were founded recently, but instead of starting at the bottom they just bought the licence of a pre existing club and threw its history, name and colours out of the window. See also what they did with Austria Salzburg. | ||

Buying an existing club and destorying it is so fucked up only a buisness man could think it's a good idea. | ||

They are also the only club from Eastern Germany likely to get into the 1.Bundesliga at all, so I wish them all the best. The downfall of Eastern clubs since 1990 due to the lack of economic competitiveness was just sad. VfB Leipzig, the first German champion, became bankrupt in 2004 and doesn't exist anymore. Leipzig has more football history than most towns in Germany! If Red Bull is needed to get top football back to Leipzig, then so be it. | ||

Well his success at Valencia had nothing to do with money. He pretty much left because they didnt give him any money. He did have a strong existing squad to play with though.

I didn't really follow football back then and certainly not Spanish football (I'm still not very knowledgeable about Spanish football). It doesn't sound like a great argument though. Rafael Benítez is a good manager because despite a decade of been awful everywhere he goes he once had a successful season ten years ago. That's like saying Felix Magath is a good manager because he once had a good season with Stuttgart. | ||

Whoa, hold up on this event! More than 10 FIFA officials arrested, to be extradited to the US on federal corruption charges. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/sports/soccer/fifa-officials-face-corruption-charges-in-us.html?smid==tw-nytsports "As leaders of FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, gathered for their annual meeting, Swiss law enforcement officials arrived unannounced at the Baur au Lac hotel, an elegant five-star property with views of the Alps and Lake Zurich. The arrests were made at the request of the United States Justice Department, which brought charges in the Eastern District of New York, based in Brooklyn, according to law enforcement officials. Prosecutors planned to unseal an indictment soon against more than 10 officials, not all of whom are in Zurich, three law enforcement officials said. The charges include wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering." | ||
