It would seem from reports in the press that Giggs' marriage is over after his wife got fed up with him 'flirting' with other women, including a local waitress. Surely, if true, this has to be the final nail in the coffin for any (already slim) chance Giggs had of becoming our next manager. I can't see the powers that be appointing him only to watch his free and single private life splashed over the front pages of the red-tops each week. His private life is his own - but not as the manager of Manchester United.
Then your board are ****ing idiots. Doesn't make a slight bit of difference who he sticks his pole into and is none of their business. All that matters is whether he cuts the mustard as a manager.
Exactly. If anything, it means Giggs has already met one of the core SAF / Mourinho criteria of being an effective manager - make sure the majority of media attention on your team is on you rather than on the players.
Giggs was great player .. but a poor manager and not a role model ... would Sir Alex done that? part of getting respect is to earn it.. not sure sleeping with your brother wife will earn you one , that alone is disgusting
I don't suppose his behaviour and possible future revelations will endear him to our sponsors. They hold significant sway in influencing the thinking of the board.
Can someone on here please tell me what Giggs does? He doesn't do anything but sit there like a nodding dog. I know his title is 'assistant manager' but what does he do? I'm sure someone here could shed some light on this. It's a bit bizarre tbh, like 'what the **** is your role Giggs?'
of course I do you knob!! 'probably' - Kind of leans towards you not really knowing I was just interested as I heard a debate on the radio a while back and people were literally clueless about what he did.
Same way people are probably clueless about what any assistant manager does. What does Liverpool's assistant manager do after all?
Giggs is a swordsman. Boning your own brothers Mrs shows his sword is mighty. I bet he's ploughed more furrows than a 60 year old spud farmer.
Giggs' job is to look bemused and quizzical at his boss long enough to convince the board that he is the right man for the job. He has been bemused and quizzical since July 2013. Unfortunately his facial expressions and the odd foray into the technical area have not done enough to convince the board that he is indeed the right man. Expect more animated facial expressions and frantic arm waving during the remaining fixtures as he fights for the right to front the post-match cameras.
It's quite well known that Klopp has his right hand man with him and they're a team. Buvac (sp?) is known as 'the brain' behind Klopp's work. Giggs does absolutely **** all by the sounds of it.
See, calling him "the brain" just implies to me that he does nothing meaningful. What does "the brain" do? A quick Google search implies he is just Klopp's mate who he agreed to give a job to at every club he joins: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...ac-Borussia-Dortmund-Premier-League-Reds-News "“Both of us were looking to become managers and we promised each other, ‘If I am the first manager, I will take you and if you are the first manager you will take me.’ He came first. It is a friendship" At least we know Giggs actually gives the team talks and takes some of the training sessions at Utd.
For @Swarbs Zeljko Buvac 54-year-old Buvac has never been far from Klopp's side in recent years. The two were teammates at Mainz over 20 years ago and as soon as Klopp took the reins at the club following his move into the dugout in 2001 he called upon Buvac, who at the time was trying his hand at management in the fourth-tier of German football with SC Neukirchen. The two have been together ever since, working in tandem to guide Mainz back into the top tier of German football before moving on to Dortmund into 2008. The relentless high pressing and swift counter attacking football that defined the Dortmund side so many fell for was partially moulded by Buvac, who Klopp has previously described as the "brains" of the operation with whom he shares a "telepathic" relationship with. The similarities between the two have been noted by their players too. When Klopp infamously lost his rag and was sent off for terrorising a fourth official in a Champions League tie against Napoli in 2013, his Bosnian assistant was tasked with filling his role in the dugout. Nuri Sahin, a former Liverpool loanee, noted at the time: "Zeliko Buvac is basically Klopp's twin, and he will be on the bench. Both of them see football in the exact same way." And the 3rd man in our team Peter Krawietz Unlike Bovac, Peter Krawietz has no history in the game at a playing capacity, but his skills as an analyst and a scout have seen him become one of Klopp's chief lieutenants. Like Bovac, he has been aligned with Klopp since their days at Mainz. Klopp's almost obsessive attention to detail comes by way of Krawietz, who the manager nicknames 'The Eye', thanks to the relentless flow of information provided on the opposition and their own players. Former Dortmund midfielder and Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert, who previously spent time with Klopp, Buvac and Krawietz to help hone his own skills, was full of praise for the 43-year-old analyst. "He was great with me when I was over there and showed me how it worked on the analysis side of it," Lambert said. "Peter is a big part of his team and he was at Mainz with him. He knows him really well and is someone who he trusts to be very analytical about the game. He's someone he'll lean on." Primarily a chief scout at Mainz, Krawietz's role developed at the Westfalenstadion, where video analysis and rigorous preparation made him an indispensable figure at the club. I think it's safe to say these guys know their roles at the club and are as important as Klopp
The funny thing is no-one has the foggiest idea what the **** Giggs actually does other than hold his name with pride as a legend of the club
