I’m not comparing anything just offering an alternate point of view. I suspect he will win the league next season after a pre season and full season in charge. Others maybe don’t and that’s fine too.

Mate, he was riding Secretariat and came second in a donkey derby. What else is left to say?

Bit of time eh. Managers these days are really up against it.

It’s an alternative viewpoint that is %@#$&!s. With the resources he had at his disposal he should have won it this year, no excuses.

Yea PSG managers have really got it tough

He's actually done really well. They'll struggle to keep hold of him when his contract runs out next season.

He took them over from a chasing position. Think the level of criticism is unwarranted.

He was a point behind Lille when he took over, 5 months to gain a single point on them and he failed. Just had a look at Lille's squad, two players I've heard of and one of them was Renato Sanches.

I'm sure he'll win the league next year after Lille, Monaco and Lyon lose their best players all over Europe whilst PSG just spend more than the rest of the league put together. What a manager he'll be then eh? That'll show us naysayers.

I don’t get any United fans are so obsessed with putting him down tbh. Seems a decent bloke to me.

I think it’s more you suggesting that he should benefit from the same arguments that we made in support of ole because their situations were similar. Their respective situations were (and remain) radically different.

He’s clearly not a bad manager but I’m not sure he’s materially better than ole has so far proved to be. And arguably now worse given their inability to catch shite like Lille.

He was getting a ripping before I started semi wumming.

Just curious lad, he seems to bring out a lot of emotion from our online fan base. He’s managed Spurs and Southampton. :shrug:

I think it's from the time when people were slamming Ole for being appointed despite winning nothing but wanting Poch who had won the same at that point.

Don't kid yourself - There were (and still are) bedwetters expressing that opinion earlier this season.

Don’t managers get fired for coming second in a one horse race?

Genuinely didn't know this, thought PSG had at least been clearly behind. Totally hilarious in that case

In talks to return to Spurs apparently

PSG must be delighted with the work he's doing.

Cheeky bid?
