As long as he wants and as long as he is successful. Envious of having such a great manager.

Great managers are the ones that are able to go elsewhere and do the same.

Machini is greater than Fergie, heck even Ruud Gullit and Franco Zola did a lot more

Thats a tremendously stupid argument, even by your high standards.

Sixty million for Carroll, Downing and Adams, that was a shrewd bit of business from King Kenny. :rofl:

Arent Bilbao essentially all Basque, so even more locally focussed.

Its a problem for them as they have limited tallent to choose from in the transfer market.


No owner is going to risk loosing the EPL TV money for the sake of an all English team, or even an all British one. Thats modern footy sadly.

Again ....I'll like to see Fergie to repeat that elsewhere, and until he does that, he isn't great. People like Wenger have gone on to prove they can do the same elsewhere

A cracker by Messi here by the way

WOW....So being English makes you superior? What exactly are we calling "English" here.....does it matter if your folks are Italian, Welsh, African, Irish but you play for England then?

Forgive me if I point out he was hired at Utd thanks to his exploits in the league and Europe at Aberdeen.

Why would he move? There is no pressure on him to move on, he has nothing to prove, his record in Europe and the Premiership is second to none and there are few clubs with as much money to spend and as much history and prestige in the game. The amazing thing to be honest is how many times he has successfully dismantled and remade that team, which if anything is a much harder job than leaving and starting with a clean slate elsewhere.

Your argument is staggeringly poor. Its like saying Busby was not a legend, or Shankly.
