Pelligrini would be high on my list. My only hesitation is seeing his side often play like they could not possibly care less. I get enough of that with Roberto.
No, you're totally right about the Millionaires. We weren't winning the league on a shoestring. But I can't think of anything more boring than supporting a team with an unlimited budget. You won the league? So what? You spent more money than anyone else. You're supposed to win. If...
There's a right way to win, and then there's throwing money at mercenaries who have no respect for the team or its history. If we're going to win the latter way, then yeah, I'll pass.
Also, can someone explain the hate for Howard? Obviously, his time has passed and I'm certainly hoping Robles stays in the starting 11, but it seems like there's more vitriol than he deserves. He's served the
team pretty well for a long time. Is he some kind of cretin off the pitch?
Well, my first game isn't for a couple more weeks, so I won't be much help. I'd maybe start a new thread so more people see it, but there's lots of good advice on this thread too.
