Thanjk you.
Paul.S
He is so articulate and doesn’t miss a beat, covering every angle when he speaks. Great intelligence, humility and a healthy does of humanity and understanding.
He is the best thing to happen to the club in many many years.
He had a bench with kids most of the time, a midfielder at left back, and had to deal with tons of injuries to our main players including our man striker. He was up against Guardiola, Mourinho who have spent 100s of millions of pounds on an already expensive squad. He has managed to get us fourth with all of this issues. And when we had anything approaching a full-strength first team, the football was brilliant.
Fourth is a wee bit disappointing given where we were in winter but our final league position is impressive given what he was up against. Provides us with a base to build on. He may have his flaws (on the defensive side) but we have a very special manager at our helm. Credit where its due.
Made this post last year but want to echo this again. Sold our best player, qualified for CL next season and in the CL final. We were running on fumes last month but he managed to push us over the line.
Great manager.
Most importantly, a majority of his signings appear spot on and is made with a clear vision in mind. Irrespective of the outcome in Kiev, this makes me incredibly excited for next season.
The main target was top 4, some might say that was too small but given our time out of the competition, getting a consecutive season in the CL was vital.
To do that, whilst selling Coutinho mid-season and not replacing him, whilst getting to a CL final with a squad with several key injuries is just brilliant. We've been a joy to watch at times and even the most pessimistic of fans must be dreaming, we're a game away from making history and the trajectory is there to see.
Doing such a great job. CL Final and if our league games were officiated properly we’d have likely hit 90 points. We are a lot closer to City than the table suggests, not much in it at all.
