Carlo fantastico

[DualityNSNO]

Imagine it's an in depth show of the turmoil and broken promises. He's sat in a darkened room, with his head in his hands.

"But then Real Madrid came in with an offer...", and the skies open up and it becomes sunny and we pan to the Bernabeu and to the cheer and the photo with the glasses and cigar

Won league titles in 5 countries, would take him here .. oh wait

"Winning AC Milan" - 6th and trophyless for the last few seasons, winning the cups, CL and league in the season after his appointment.

Real Madrid hadn't won the CL for over a decade before he got there, did in his first go.

He'd only won the league and cup with Chelsea, so clearly was crap there.

If anything his league record is usually a bit meh - he was sacked from Napoli for that same reason as they'd not won in 6 or 7 games or something, despite smashing teams in the CL and being top of their group. He's the Europe God though.

"He was also at Everton for a year and a bit. Moving on..."

"I was out with an old pal, we'd had a few lagers and we were talking about impossible jobs, and then he suggested...."

To be fair it's not impossible - he's said he likes clubs that are like families more than like products, we fit the bill.

Sadly, we couldn't also pay the bill really.

Is 5 champions leagues impressive if he can't finish top half with Everton?

"yeah, I stepped into the Everton warzone expecting to deal with more bullspit* than I ever had, although I had my eyes open, they weren't open enough! How a founder member of the league with the first Cathedral to Football on the planet (Goodison) could be treated with such disdain, and then the treatment from those outside the club. I knew then I had my hands full..."

Still can't imagine Bill trying to give footy advise to Don Carlo

I agree his league form was traditionally the big doubt about him but he has addressed that in his 2nd spell at Madrid. 2 leagues in 3 years which is a bit unusual for him
