Just watched highlights, i'm fucking fuming. Anyone who doesn't hate Costa need to get their head checked, what a fucking disgrace. Hope he gets injured badly soon.

That broke the guy's leg, you can see it gruesomely bend.

Favre is a great manager, but he couldn't integrate the new signings into his system and compensate for the lost personnel. Stindl is a good player, but I am not so sure if Drmic has what it takes. And admittedly, Kramer is a special player, that is hard to replace. Frustratingly, Leverkusen don't even need him that much.

Maybe a new manager with a new approach can turn around this season for Gladbach (obviously the Champions Leagues is too much for them anyway). Their players aren't THAT bad.

I really enjoyed Gladbach being part of the top flight in the Bundesliga, I'd hate it, if that would end now, given their rich history. Maybe not many people outside of Germany remember it, but they were actually one of the European top teams in the 70s.

Real Madrid with the usual antics: Wrong offside call on the opponents' legit goal and score their goal in offside. Yet another 3 points gifted.

Favre goes the same way as Klopp and disclaim on 5m€ dismissal wage. Klopp disclaimed 18m€.

BvB asked him before Tuchel :D

So apparently Moyes was 6th on Fergie's choice of succession, 1st being Pep. I wonder if the list was before or after United finished 7th xD

German media says it´s writtin in his book.
Other candidates listed here are Mourinho (was surely going to Chelsea), Ancelotti (at Real), Guardiola (signed at Bayern) and Klopp (not leaving Dortmund).

Yeah in his new book its stupid.

He demanded he was paid more than the players, no player at Yanited was paid more than Alex Ferguson, meaning he was on as a manager £250,000 a week xD

You say that which i agree, best manager in the world for me. However he doesn't put the ball in the net or save it does he? He picks the team and prepares them it is still down to the players isnt it xD

same team - different manager: one wins record amount of titles, the others win nothing

SAF definitely deserved to get paid more than a single player

Well Ralf Rangnick had this condition too, that he earned more than any player during his Hoffenheim time.

It doesnt matter who does what, its about value to the team. And clearly its turned out, he was by far the most valuable asset to that club. For better or for worse.

He was the best manager in the world, i agree but no manager is worth more than a player. I dont think players are worth £250,000 a week but if they are on that money its because they are extremely valuable. If Messi goes into "x" team he scores goals and wins them matches yes? If Fergie goes into "x" team does he win them games to the same extent? I don't think so.
He proved this when he first joined Yanited and it took him a while to get his philosophy across, it does to all managers imo. It takes time to implement your footprint onto the team.

Messi doesn't need that, he just needs the ball at his feet per se.

I think your having a hard time understanding the point. It doesnt matter what Fergie would do in any other team, he didnt get paid that much by "any other team" he was paid that by much to United because he made United what it was. Plenty of players came and went during United's success the only consistent factor was Fergie. So he was clearly Uniteds most valuable asset.

No one is saying that if SAF went to Chelsea he should be the highest paid person there, because to Chelsea he wouldnt have the same value.

Your parameters as usual are all over the place. Sure managers in general are not worth more than players, because as you said they dont score goals or actually even play, they dont put their body's on the line .. etc etc etc.

I dont think you will find anyone here who doesnt appreciate that sort of logic. Thats footie 101. But I will repeat it again. Its not about who does what. Its about value to the club.

Fergie is a huge asset but more than players like Giggs and Scholes? I don't think so. Sure he's had huge success but he's had some crazy good teams to work with as well (and some lesser ones which he gave over to Moyes).

Plenty of players came and went during United's success the only consistent factor was Fergie. So he was clearly Uniteds most valuable asset.

Staying so long at a club and being succesful is really impressive but of course he'll stay longer than players since except for a few players their careers simply aren't that long. If Messi could've played till he was 80 I'm sure he'd stay at Barca as well.
