Or like more and more managers are realising... It's a job that probably isn't worth the hassle. Cowardice? No. Logical? Yes.
He wouldn't want to go to Chelsea because they have no style or philosophy as well as Abramovich being a tool to work with no doubt. Chelsea change managers more than people change their socks. The only reason to go to Chelsea is to sign a big contract and then cash in when fired for no reason.
I don't like him because even you or me can go in the Barca dressing room, and say just play your football, and they'd do the job. They were that good. Now he'll be doing the same at Bayern. Just wait until Guardiola moves on to a team who isn't the best in the world you'll realise what I'm trying to say.
I give you a great example Chelsea at Nou Camp last season, we knew how to handle with their tika tika football. We even went down to 10 men but we still manage to keep Barca at bay, they desperately needed a plan b but Guardiola didn't do anything, he was totally clueless!
It's not hard to turn that team into the best in the world, you have Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Alves, etc peaking at the right time.
They scored twice; the match ended 2-2. They missed good chances at Stamford Bridge, too, which Guardioloa can hardly be held accountable for. I agree that Barca didn't have a "plan B", but they seldom needed to because their plan A was ridiculously good - because of Guardiola - and led them through a historic period of success. Well, Messi wasn't peaking at that time at all. In fact, it was because of Guardiola that Messi has become the player we know today. It was Guardiola who ousted the likes of Deco and Ronaldinho to build the team around Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
It's not worth trying to explain this to Dan because he, like almost all Chelsea fans, has a massive chip on his shoulder about Guardiola and all things Barcelona.
Guardiola's a great manager, but Barcelona are woefully inadequate at dealing with somebody stopping their style of play as showed by Chelsea last year and arguably Bayern in the semi-finals this season. He inherited a great squad in 2008/2009 but some of his signings were absolutely woeful. He spent £25 million on Chygrinsky, £15 million on Hleb and £17 million Caceras, can't reall think of too many signings of his who play regularly. Thought Sanchez was a good player but he's apparently getting shipped out in the summer.
They won the Champions League in 2009 & 2011 under him and made the semis in both his other seasons there, won La Liga in 08-09, 09-10 & 10-11 and are currently 11 points ahead at the top of Liga BBVA playing only a slightly modified style. Guardiola has just turned 42. I'd love for Liverpool to be that woefully inadequate at dealing with anything.
Why? What as Rodgers done more than Kenny? did he win silverware? did he get the club in to final of any comp? answers is NO. So why does Rodgers deserve an extra season when Warner (being Liverpool Ep3) with his own words said, he expects Rodgers to do better than Kenny this year which he clearly has not done.
I don't think Kenny should have been sacked either. That doesn't mean Rodgers should automatically be fired.
Agreed. Anyone wanting Rodgers sacked now is a effin moron in truth, in my eyes we've made steady progress through the season, we now have a very decent and extremely young set of players, he also seems to have gotten the best out of players like Henderson and Downing, both have had good second half's to the season. I'm really looking forward to next season, can't wait to see how the front three of Suarez, Coutinho and Sturridge progress, there is massive potential there. Just a few additions i.e. a top class centre back, etc and we'll be set for a top 4 challenge, I really don't think we're a million miles behind Arsenal or Spurs...both are extremely catchable next season.
When you have Canadian owners who's minimum expectation from the manager CL qualification (reason from Kenny sacking), then drop it to UEFA, yet we still don't qualify under are own merits..... taking into account what Warner in Ep3. who really know if he will make it till next season.
I see you're back. Just because Kenny was sacked, doesn't mean that Rodgers should also share the same fate. Regardless if he achieved us one piece of silverware. Should Benitez of been sacked? Even though he got us a few silverware? Rodgers is slowly getting us there, but by the looks of your agenda, you're not prepared to give him a chance. It also sounds like get a manager in, few games in his reign then nah he's shite get another manager in.
