BREAKING: The Top 5 EPL managers of all time (according to Neil Warnock).

Spoiler: results

1. Wenger
2. Pep
3. Klopp
4. SAF
5. Mourinho

Logically it makes sense with the first 2. As their impacts has changed English football for the better and made it more modern, in their respective period of time. Even if a lot of Peps influence has been done from afar, before coming to England. Klopp should be 5th just because he is the only one who hasn't even won a title, let alone multiple like the other 4 have done and his legacy is still being written. But if Liverpool can keep this up and don't fall away like Dortmund did after 3-4 seasons, who knows where he will end up in a decades time. But if Fergie has to be #1, he has the hardware, which is very hard to argue against tbh..

Talking about impact on the English game.

Only influences Fergie has shown is Moyes and Ole getting the United job. And a bunch of former players being specialists in being mid table and below coaches

AS Roma have had 17 ACL tears since 2014

Yeah this is a running theme ovr the last couple of years, every time a Roma player does their ACL, it gets highlighted. Didn't know about it, till Karsdorp did his back in 2017.

Strootman accounts for 3 of those.


I think it's a case of players not being protected and being run into the ground tbh. Lack of recovery between matches and where one seasons end and another starts. Especially with all the summer tournaments, where a lot of the good/best players get at best 2-3 weeks rest, before getting back to the grind again.

Sometimes I want to complain about the tough schedule, but then I remember the wages they're on

And you the same type that complains about how games and tournaments aren't the same because certain players are missing with injuries.

I bet you wasn't Real Ronaldo gets paid millions to be injuries when he kneecap exploded. Which happened because he was overplayed between 96-98.

Probably didn't mind, since it gave him more time to fukk prostitutes

On the real though, my man fukked up at the age of 25

Them Brazlian players either get fukked with injuries or off-pitch fukkery, Ronaldinho & Adriano
Neymar must be counting himself lucky....for now

What do you guys think? Do you think these current crop of teams would easily dominate the late 90's to mid 2000's teams?

It’s bs revisionism about something that will never happen. The game is different now.

It’s not what caused those knee injuries but ok

More quality teams now but the top teams then were better.

Bottling the Atletico match was a forewarning he was going to mess up badly in the UCL again

I think the best teams had better talent but Fergie and Wenger tryna get a handle on these modern tactics tho.
