Maybe the bettwr way to phrase it would be hes not an elite manager "yet" although hes doing himself no harm by producing great things at bayern .I’d argue that Leverkusen massively overachieved that season - through sheer brilliance and to Kompany’s credit - a poor Bayern year.
Bayern reacted by spending 150m and flexed their muscles. Leverkusen never had the capital to compete with that.
Kompany isn’t a terrible manager by all means, he does what is expected. But to say he’s an elite manager would be disingenuous
I’d somewhat agree - as I’ve said, it’s more nuanced. Kompany’s playing name has got him opportunities at the right time, and would command more player respect than Say Rob Edwards.Maybe the bettwr way to phrase it would be hes not an elite manager "yet" although hes doing himself no harm by producing great things at bayern .
For what its worth i dont think rob edwards could do a similar job , and i think kompany is doing an excellent job and youd have to say better than many big names before him
I like glasner will be interesting to see him at a big club thats expected to be winning things .I’d somewhat agree - as I’ve said, it’s more nuanced. Kompany’s playing name has got him opportunities at the right time, and would command more player respect than Say Rob Edwards.
I think Glasner is a far better manager, but given his past career as a player. He wouldn’t get the job at Bayern’s
All I have said is he is doing an above average jobI’d argue that Leverkusen massively overachieved that season - through sheer brilliance and to Kompany’s credit - a poor Bayern year.

Remember when Rangers were out of the SPL and Celtic were breaking records? Thats what I consider Kompany’s record as. Things like this don’t stand out.All I have said is he is doing an above average job
You don't break records by doing an average job
Can you agree with that?
Ok I disagree but appreciate you debating it and not being a crybabyRemember when Rangers were out of the SPL and Celtic were breaking records? Thats what I consider Kompany’s record as. Things like this don’t stand out.
now if he wins the CL - I’ll give him his flowers
2bh - that’s what football is about. Everyone has different opinions and that’s okOk I disagree but appreciate you debating it and not being a crybaby
You're travelling away with the Gialloblu (forgive spelling!) ? Have you been to away games with them before? Must admit, that's a sort of bucket list thing for me (having read 'A season with Verona'). Jealous !!Anyone who is half decent is flogged for profit with minimal investment. It was going to catch up with them sooner or later. I will be there tomorrow evening to shout some abuse at Vardy!
This is extremely boring that you keep trying to reignite this discussion.The stats prove he's not just doing a standard job. It's as simple as that
He is clearly a good manager. And anyone with brains could see that.
Isn't that a good thing? A competitive division where games could go any way?Agree. La Liga is another shit show as well. About 3 wins between relegation zone and a European place.
Don't be so rude. DissapointingThis is extremely boring that you keep trying to reignite this discussion.
For the last time:
He's a good manager when he has better players than his rivals. He's a Guardiola disciple, and there's an art to that, certainly.
He's not a good enough manager to adjust when he doesn't have better players than his rivals, though.
Ask Burnley.
It's not even worth engaging with this.Don't be so rude. Dissapointing
It's not my fault you still fail to grasp that him changing tactics to keep Burnley up would have made him the sort of manager who takes on rescue jobs like allardyce or dyche not manage European giants. Which is all I have ever said
He showed enough at Burnley to make Bayern take note. You have missed the point because you are a Mike bassett type and now you are gutted the stats prove I was right all along.....again!
It's not even worth engaging with this.
He has turned into a bit of a wind up merchant, and not in tune with his emotions, seems to get wound up quite easy.It's not even worth engaging with this.

I've been to a fair few away games with some lads I play football with but tend to just stick to home games these days. A few years ago I went to Napoli on a hired bus, which was interesting!You're travelling away with the Gialloblu (forgive spelling!) ? Have you been to away games with them before?

Are chievo disliked in Verona?I've been to a fair few away games with some lads I play football with but tend to just stick to home games these days. A few years ago I went to Napoli on a hired bus, which was interesting!
It's the city derby, but they're pretty much irrelevant these days in Serie D.Are chievo disliked in Verona?
I heard on a podcast no one likes them. I always had soft spot for them cos I think they finished 4th or something in 2001/2?It's the city derby, but they're pretty much irrelevant these days in Serie D.
Mine was for Torino based on some memorable saves on LMA Manager. Historic club that was once all conquering, then had a plane crash and never hit the same heights.I heard on a podcast no one likes them. I always had soft spot for them cos I think they finished 4th or something in 2001/2?

GoooooooolllaazzoooooooooooooFootball Italia on Channel 4 in the 90s still by far and away the best football programme produced.
Yeah I like Torino as dislike juventusMine was for Torino based on some memorable saves on LMA Manager. Historic club that was once all conquering, then had a plane crash and never hit the same heights.
They mentioned mental health problems in another thread when arguing with David O day so I don't want anything on my conscience cos I know I can get underneath people's skin when I want too.He/she/they really is a baby
Isn't that a good thing? A competitive division where games could go any way?
For me the problem with la Liga is Barca and RM have far too much power and financial clout.
Which every kid thought wasGoooooooolllaazzooooooooooooo
