"Bring back Rodgers, Klopp out"

[denphone]

Oh what a sea of mediocrity from both sides currently and l can see both sides undergoing significant remedial surgery come the summer to root out the rift raft and the cowardless.

Both sides, cowardless????

Simone we will have to see but I think what he has done at Athletico exceeds what Pep did at Barcelona.

I am not sure he would want to join Chelsea (Pep that is) anyway. The management and expectations seems counter to the jobs he has chosen so far and the way he likes to work. City is more suited to him.

I think he will end up at City. It will be interesting to see what happens if City win the league this season though, i think i'm right in saying Pellegrini has another year left on his contract. Will he walk or be pushed to make way for Pep

Jupp henkyles (sp) won the treble and was still pushed aside to make way for him. Pep has six months to try and be as successful as his predecessor

Quite a weekend for the small clubs beating bigger opposition with Norwich, Watford and spurs winning.

Something stinks at Chelski.

They play carp, sack Jose then they suddenly find form.

[adzii_nufc]

I think the fans made it pretty clear and have singled out quite a few players for the blame rather than Jose. Costa and Fabregas were jeered by their own supporters. A win against Sunderland doesn't amount to form though.

Chelsea stink.

I'll always remember how Jose was sacked again... then I'll always blame Costa for it.

Chelsea's loss is United gain in my opinion. You'd have to consider Mourinho in for finally getting the United job. I can't see LVG making another season. With Carlo off to Bayern, Pep a certainty for City, Mourinho is now the favourite to take over United.

The thing is if the players do play well then it does reflect badly on Mourinho. It's not as if this happens in isolation is it? He fell out with a lot of players at Madrid too. It does just lend more weight to the theory that Mourinho's style only works for so long before the players lose motivation and burn out. His combative, high-pressure, nature only works for the short term.

But you said both sides, I thought Watford played well, and there is no such word as cowardless.

Since last season I've said LVG was not the man for United. He's better than Moyes but seems completely incapable of seeing when he's wrong. I'm still hoping we get Pep due to his friendship with SAF but the papers seem to have decided he's going to City. If that does happen then Mourinho is just about the only manager I'd feel comfortable with at United.
