Comment on Why La Liga is irrelevant to Barcelona’s legacy by Josh Tarrant

To dominate the league for the past 3 years in its self is fantastic. to then throw in a couple of champs leagues makes it special.
It is hard to carry that on for 4 or 5 seasons. They were going to always peak and ‘have an off season’ – which could stil see them as Champions.
They were the best in the world last season, with out a doubt, and the could well finish this season as the best team in the world if they have a solid couple of months and end it with a Champion League final victory against Real.

Comment on When Sao Paulo Ruled The World by Fabiano

Very nice article about one of the most overlooked club squads ever… I find it appalling how people love to mention the Barcelona “Dream Team” and Capello’s Milan as one of the greatest teams ever and simply forget that this great São Paulo managed to beat both with style… Unfortunately, only a handful of football enthusiasts remember to mention the great South American squads in their greatest teams compilations…

Truth is that football today is so eurocentric that people forget that it was not dominated only by Europe up until very recently…

Comment on Appointing a football manager? Forget the interview by Josh Tarrant

I have often wondered how clubs make thier decisions. Previous experience, playing style, personality, abilty to fit with clubs budget, how much will it cost to get them, the list goes on.

You can look at the hire of McLeish as Villa manager and think how did the club get it so wrong.
The fans didnt want him – coming directly from their rivals. The rivals – who had just been relegated no less. Just seemed that no one did their research – and look at the club now.

From that hire – it seems that maybe the interview does play to big a part in the hire of a manager. As you say, Steve Bruce bounces from club to club, spending millions on the way – and has he ever really delivered? Nope but the boy must be good when it comes to his strengths and weaknesses!
