I honestly thought Pep would be at city this year, and ancelotti at Bayern. City still have to be the favorites for Pep given the connections and their long interest. United can't afford to lose out on one of Ancelotti, Guardiola, Mourinho. There are reports already saying Ancelotti is headed to Bayern. I like Mou but I think it's the hardest sell of the three.

Yea I think Pep to City and Ancelotti to Bayern is already set.... which only leaves Mourinho. We need to get him asap if we are not getting Pep or Ancelotti.

Bayern-Boss Rummenigge zu BILD: Pep geht, Ancelotti kommt!

 

[Blablurn]

BREAKING: KH Rummenigge confirms to BILD that Carlo Ancelotti will replace Pep Guardiola at Bayern next summer

 

[Milchmonster]

Damn, I actually like Ancelotti.

Fuck Bayern, tho

 

[Blablurn]

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Jose and Pep both looking for new clubs. Will be a very interesting few months coming up.

 

[Se7enSword]

Dang, Bayern will be an even bigger force next season.

Come on United, sack LVG.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Ancelotti will be a great manager at Bayern.

I think Pep will go to City with Mourinho heading to United. Mourinho was quite complimentary towards United before he had his second spell at Chelsea and I'm still surprised he didn't become manager after Ferguson left.

 

[toythatkills]

If you've got a team of under-performing players as United have, is Mourinho the man you want to lead them?

Maybe they will both end up in Manchester But there is still question of Real...

The problem is more to do with the players not being good enough to be honest.

Did anyone see Rooney yesterday?

 

[Blablurn]

Pep is leaving and I feel nothing

 

[Milchmonster]

Pep is leaving and I feel nothing

I hope he's taking Götze with him :lol

 

[Clegg]

Ancelotti?

Lol what a downgrade.

 

[Blablurn]

I hope he's taking Götze with him :lol

hope so too

 

[Blablurn]

Lol what a downgrade.

norwich players said the same after the left old trafford yesterday

 

[daxter01]

Bayern with Anceloti is terrifying, fuck Perez :|

 

[Clegg]

norwich players said the same after the left old trafford yesterday

And they were right to because we're shit.

But Ancelotti, despite being in this supposed 'elite' band of managers is still a significant step down from Guardiola. Just poach some young German manager or something.

When you're a team like Bayern with strong traditions and identity you shouldn't need a quick fix manager especially when you're so comfortable in the league. Build something long term with someone you know will be there for the long haul.

You should see his performance for this whole season. He's a -1 to the team and earns 300k :|

You were as bad without him as you were with him.

 

[Clegg]

True. But Rooney is demonstrably awful. One of the highest paid footballers in the world yet he can't actually trap a ball. Nor can he run. The only place he can play now is up front because he hasn't the legs to play anywhere else, but he's crap at that too.

 

[RiggyRob]

The first team of:
Darmian-Smalling-Blind-Shaw
Schneiderlin-Schweinsteiger
Mata-Herrera-Memphis
Martial

Is good enough, there's enough quality in that team and the squad replacements to beat Norwich, Bournemouth and West Ham. It's just LVG's insistence on playing Rooney and sticking to rigid tactics that don't work.

I'd be willing to bet Mourinho would be much more flexible on a game to game basis, but then we'd lose out on bringing through the youth players like Lingard, Pereira, McNair etc. because he wouldn't trust them.

 

[GoldenCrow]

I hope he's taking Götze with him :lol

If he goes to City I hope he brings Alaba.

 

[tim.mbp]

Suarez!

Another clinical display by Barcelona. Up 2-0 now in the Club World Cup final.

Some raid by Neymar

 

[moojito]

This should be a lot bigger than it is. You don't get to see the best in Europe v the best of South America that often. Compared to the champions league, this tournament has had very little coverage in the UK, at least.

No tournament without UK involvement has much coverage in the UK, really.

A new coach doesn't get any time at Bayern. It's sink or swim. Coaching Bayern is like coaching Real Madrid. Finish the first half of the season out of the CL ranks? See you later.

The Heynckes and Pep years just wear exceptionally calm, if only because of their enormous reputation. And even then, people were calling for Jupps head after Chelsea and Peps after Real / Barca. Pep staying for 3 three years, is already the longest term of a Bayern coach since Hitzfeld I.

Bayern needs a coach of Ancelottis pedigree to successfully navigate the media. And how is a young coach supposed to follow Pep? They don't need another innovative coach, it's clear that ever since LVG possession football is Bayerns new DNA, you just continue to build on it.

Ancelotti doenst even need to be the next Pep, if he manages to be the next Heynckes, he will already have surpassed Pep.

Since all the EPL wanks are asleep. Ney God is worshipped here now

The one who just simulated twice in the last 3 minutes?

I'm shocked it's even on TV here in America.

 

[tim.mbp]

Oh my.

 

[moojito]

Damn, this Barca side would give even Leicester a run for their money.

 

[Milchmonster]

"I must admit that I can't enjoy the Bayern games. There's just too little competition."

Carlo Ancelotti, October 2015

Well, have fun then :lol

 

[El Topo]

Fuck this shit.

 

[Blablurn]

i wonder if klopp will win any titles at liverpool

he needs some wins

if we should become the next bayern coach

 

[moojito]

Liverpool have been flapping in the breeze for too long. They need some of that LvG philosophy to steady themselves. Like an anchor. Dragging them down, down. Send Klopp to Manchester.

reviving liverpool seems hard

depsite them havign a lot of money and a long foot ball tradition

but despite all this their squad looks just mediocre

 

[ohyouagain]

Rummenigge with this signing just reinforced the fact that the Bundesliga is a brand that is here to stay. I would be surprised now if the next TV deal doesn't cross the yearly 1.2 Billion dollars mark (the current deal vastly undersells the league at arnd 600 Million dollars per year). It just has to when you get the likes of Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Ancelotti or Neuer in your league.

Regardless, he has done all he could to put Bayern and Germany on everyone's radar. Good job.

I dislike how weak football teams are outside Europe.

My team couldn't even win AFC Champions League :/

 

[Blablurn]

 

[toythatkills]

Does Carlo Ancelotti have a logo?

 

[ohyouagain]

Pfff... they shoved in the Bayern logo to make it appear as he is wearing one.

 

[Fdkn]

Dortmund or even Wolfsburgo could win the Bundesliga next year.

In Ancelotti we trust.

 

[Lunar FC]

Tired of giving up shit goals already..

 

[Gothos]

Ehh, clearly a mistake by the ref

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Mignolet's spirit still haunts.

 

[SictorVullivan]

You couldn't imagine the grin I had on my face when I read that

 

[TeddyBoy]

2-0 after 15 minutes :'(

 

[hemo memo]

C'mon.. Not like this.
