  • We’ve pretty much hired the Italian Bielsa. It either works out or it’ll end up like Scolari or AVB.

    We’re still competing on three fronts which isn’t bad all things considered. If he’s (Sarri) happy and he gets backed up by the board I can’t see why it’s not going to work out in the medium (2 years) term.

  • Yeah but bielsa has actually won stuff, admittedly early doors in Argentina, but still..
    I think Sarri is just reaping the lack of a pre season and not having had time to figure out what his personnel can do.
    If you give him a chance he’ll come good, think his teams play better football than scolari’s and avb’s but it’s whether you can live with this as a holding station season, rather than a “we should be winning trophies” season (unless you win the league cup or the Europa league) I’d give you better odds of winning the Europa league..

  • Thought I made it quite clear. I’ll hapily take 4th and a cup final appearance in his first year. As long as we’re improving I’m not complaining.

    Last nights result was a proper slap in the face.
