The word ‘fraud’ gets thrown about a lot when it comes to the upper echelons of football management, but this bloke fully deserves it.

I would be very surprised if he ever gets close to another Champions League title now that he hasn’t got that ridiculous Madrid squad at his disposal.

I am fully prepared to eat my proverbial hat if he proves me wrong by taking over from Allegri and guiding the Old Lady to Big Ears, but from what I’ve seen so far he’s relied on a highly efficient side of proven, experienced, world-class winners, all at the peak of their footballing careers, and a lot of luck. I reckon he’s a good motivator, but I have questions on his ability to build a top side from scratch, and develop an attractive style of play. A bald fraud.

A bald fraud who won more than Jose did.

Actually it is hard to see what he actually did that made much of a difference in all those trophies.

But anyway thank £#%&! he did, well at least the last one.

He didn’t.

Any time he actually had to make a tactical change he was scratching his Travolta-Dome utterly stumped.

That Madrid side is a bit like Chelsea 2008 under Avram Grant. A group of talented players with big personalities basically taking charge of things.

Granted a talented squad but still made astute substutions and motivated a group who'd won it all.

When?

And don’t give me Bale scoring a wonder goal nobody would’ve predicted.

Won more than 8 league titles? Incredible.

He man managed a large group of young egotistical millionaires. It’s the key to management. And he did it so well they won 3 European cups.
