    Chippy smells the barmaid’s apron and he eventually starts talking sense.

    Only club to lose first three Champions League group games and still qualify. Those were the days.

    Can't make out this stuff didn't exist in other eras to be fair. There'll be a slight discrepancy in terms of regular trouncings, but not that much. I think between Klopp and Guardiola we have some extremely good managers (Guardiola I don't rate but knows how to make an excellent set of players win titles) in the right place and at the right time.

    Both will suffer a period of ****eness when they look for the next manager after this.

    Both extremely good managers who are employed by very well ran clubs.

    When I say good managers I mean they are good at managing everything they are employed to manage.

    Money is the key don’t get me wrong but it still has to be managed well. Some PL clubs recently have spent big and not had anywhere near the same levels of success.

    We on the other end of the spectrum have a terrible owner, with a terrible team of staff, manager by a bafoon. I would be very interested to see how many actual key personnel we have compared to most other football clubs.
