What will be the criteria- improve the performances and hope to nick a few points from tough games ? Or are results expected straight away ?
Win them all But seriously yes, I would of thought an improvement in generally performance and attitude will be the first things worked on. Results will come as the new system and morale is dictated. He's also said to be an old fashioned 4 4 2 guy. So that means, Dennis through the middle with Cucho and Pedro up top for Liverpool? No King which is a real shame.
We should of won at Anfield that day. Played so well but some of our finishing was below par. Caught Liverpool cold, and certainly showed we can beat them in the return game.
The body count issue arose from Steel City Horn bizarrely claiming I'm unsucessful with women due to not flossing. I could tell from what he was saying that he's pretty clueless about women so I pointed out that my body count is probably a lot higher than his and the topic seems to have taken on a life of its own. Your comment about women is generally true but so often with women it's not what you do/say it's the way that you do/say it. To quote those great British philosophers Bananarama. I quite recently recounted my worst ever bedroom experience in gruesomely traumatic detail to a girl and she later told me that was 50% of the reason she slept with me. I also once hooked up with a girl after drunkenly telling her my D was designed by an international committee of female perverts which was clearly bragging and obviously untrue. One of my nicknames for my most recent FWB was her number in my body count, I'm sure a lot of people would consider that demeaning or even misogynistic but she found it both outrageous and endearing at the same time in the context of our relationship. However, I have to admit I've never used the term 'body count' with women. It might not surprise to know I'm not on this forum to get laid LOL
Much as I'm unsure about this appointment I do find it strange when managers get no credit. Leicester won the league because of Pearson and Shakespeare, Munoz got us promoted because Deeney got injured. If Pearson and Shakespeare were a big part in Leicester winning the league that says the manager has picked good backroom staff. Sir Alex won many trophies and gets a lot credit for this and rightly so but he also had very good coaches like Brian Kidd and many others. Xisco got us promoted along with the players and staff. The Deeney situation helped but there is so much more to it than that. Getting a good team of coaches together can be as important as getting the players and it seemed Ranieri did that and all credit to him for doing so. One person doesn't make a team succesfull, it's the whole team that does that with the manager leading it.
Not to mention he turned the likes of Danny Simpson, Robert Huth, Wes Morgan, Danny Drinkwater and Marc Albrighton in to world beaters
I still struggle to comprehend how your friend could sleep with that many people whilst being in a closer relationship. Feel quite sorry for his partner if that’s the case.
I've never been a player, my numbers have been fairly consistent over the decades and I'm still going strong so like Steel City Horn and Burnsy before you, you are trying to win an argument about the lifestyle of someone you know nothing about and have never met by saying things about them that are not true. I find this really weird in all 3 of your cases. I wonder what a psychiatrist would make of such online antics. Assuming you are not all Moog LOL
Welcome Claudio. I hope you can find success with us and please enjoy the Watford night life. Best of luck to you - we're all behind you.
Well most of them were before he met her but I have to admit I struggle with it too. I've literally seen him call his wife minutes after he's just slept with someone else and sound completely normal. I couldnt do that myself. I assume she knows to some extent as she's exceptionally intelligent. Surprisingly they have a really great relationship and have an incredibly strong bond. They are each other's best friend and neither would be able to replace the other with anyone as good. They are both very unique people and complete one offs. It's really a miracle for both of them that they found each other. All humans are flawed and I guess his flaw is one that would send a lot of people rushing to the moral high ground.
His assistants will be Paolo Benetti and Carlo Cornacchia. Fitness coach is Carlo Spignoli. Benetti has worked with Ranieri throughout his career since 2007 and Cornacchia has worked with him since 2017 .
I think its fair to say if we still look tactically inept it's a player problem rather than manager...
A new fitness coach? Wow. Hopefully try to empty out our treatment room. New backroom staff always a good sign of a new direction.
Yes, Duxbury with a gun and Gino with a knife. I give it 4 to 6 months. We could possibly be too far adrift along with Norwich in early 2022. He is a luxury manager. This will not end well.
Repurpose the QSF one? Always grated that he had such a fun, top tune with the turgid football he made us play. Also, it was unique to us in English football (even if we did steal it from Atletico).
