This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Nice post - I hate saying it, but he is undisputable by Irish2003

Full agreeance on the criteria, and if I were a neutral, his teams were more attractive to watch than Jose's pragmatism, and more sustainable than Klopp's intensity.

I'd have a hard time pulling for a Golden Retriever that went from Barca to a petroclub (it is strange seeing Abu Dhabi and Qatar's differing approaches to building their clubs), let alone a man of that level of confidence as you alluded, yet his brilliance cannot be argued against. That Barca/Madrid/La Furia Roja run of dominance may never be duplicated in my lifetime, and it's hard to hate guys like Messi, Iniesta, and KDB even if I want their clubs to go 0-38. Your last point is something that would never happen in the US system, but I'd love to see someone with that sort of approach start building our guys around that, as I think we are starting to get technically capable (of course, lots of room to improve) where we don't have to bunker down and counter but can instead attack all but the very best teams.

After finally getting his treble this year, do you think he will take the Spain job?
