Nah, I'm just a bit gassed up right now



Sacking LvG felt like winning a title to me



It's no doubt gonna be tough for Jose



I do think Conte, and not Pep, will be the man to watch out for.

I rate Pep very highly but I think the difficulty of the PL might take him by surprise. He's coming from leagues where his teams were seemingly guaranteed at least 60 points a season, just for showing up to games.


Whilst I don't think the PL is the best league in terms of the quality of players, it is no doubt the hardest league to win. I read somewhere that the PL is like a Royal Rumble and I think that is the best way to describe it.



You gotta claw and scratch for results against 80% of the teams in the league and I don't know if Pep will be ready for that in his first season.





Conte on the other hand just has this look to him, like he's been ready for this all his life. The dude is obsessed with winning, the way he just wrote off Pirlo and Giovinco for the Euro's was so ruthless. He reminds me of Fergie in his prime




My only hope is that he proves to be too intense for the Chelsea players to handle.

Jose

It's going to be incredible. He's either going to clean up on all the trophies in 3 years or have us close to relegation.

At least it won't be boring, that's for sure.

mike clearly left out the usa on purpose when naming teams. he's trying to paint it as solely a latin competion.

I live in Seattle so don't hear Francesa. That was hard to listen to. Not sure if he's trying to play dumb or really that clueless? Asking why no one has asked him/CBS to come to them about promoting the tournament. Well 1. Because you don't care about the sport. 2. Because Fox has the rights to the tournament.

I'm for tomorrow. Going up through the play-offs would be beyond our wildest dreams at the start of the season.

I do like Jose's rumored wish list so far. Icardi, Andre Gomes, Stones()

As for LVG. Glad he is gone, but I do have mixed feelings on him. Will always remember him as the dude who couldn't get a loaded Dutch team to the World Cup, but 16 years takes an average dutch side to semis at the World Cup

LVGs only positive for united was coachin up the youth. other than that, it was a loud failure. even under Moyes, without all the money LVG had, United looked more competent and consistent. so thanks for the youth but LVG had to go.
Jose is a great hire. Especially if he learned from his mistakes and is able to tone tension down just a notch.
