Trouble was Chelsea bigged him up, so it stroked his ego and he now thinks he's the messiah. I like Jose but only because I love a character, all he did at Roma was bring in Premier League rejects, aka Lukaku etc, think he got Europa League or Conference but don't remember him picking anything up, but my memory is a bit ****. He's ok if you want a manager that can finish fifth in Serie A. Real Madrid is going to be a ****ing disaster for him, no way can he follow in the steps of Ancelotti, seems madness to me.
Let them win the playoff final then strip them of their promotion and whoever finishes 18th in the Prem gets to stay in the league.
Now that would be entertaining.
Hull probably have something to say about that...
But I'd love that personally. See my team win at Wembley and still get to tick Lincoln off.
Tbph I use to think all teams did it, until the Bielsa saga. Even remember as a kid watching my pub team train at Priestfield, gates were open so I just walked straight on to the terracing with my mate - if they didn't want us there lock the gates. Obviously not so easy with training grounds, but do they really reveal much on them, especially as clubs allow fans to watch if they want. Seems a load of modern day nonsense akin to espionage lol, people need to grow up.
To be fair, it wasnt just chelsea, he won the CL with Porto, which is a big feat, then won the treble at Inter. And he literally did follow in Ancelotti's steps at Chelsea and won us a league title. Real Madrid is a different kettle of fish though, I get it, and Mourinho isnt the manager he was, and I agree this has a very big chance of going tits up,

I highly doubt we're the only one of the 92 who've done it this season. Just the only one stupid enough to get caught.
Your memory is better than mine, so fair play to him, but he aint got it anymore, but if Chelsea appeals to him and to the fans got to be better than that **** this season. You need to have a clear out bro. But Madrid he needs to avoid like the plague.

If it's ok then why not build a special area for visiting scouts and provide a coffee and binoculars on arrival init
Sky actually send a reporter to the Boro training ground for a live report. This is honestly completely ****ing mental

No need for binoculars bro, we borrowed some high tech equipment from MI5 init.
I thought a lot of overseas clubs, ie Spain etc, open up for training days, I'm sure some of them are very well attended. Also a good money maker for the clubs if they sell drinks and food, maybe not so much in England because we are a bunch of fannies and everything will be H&S, so not worth the grief.
AI Overview
Spanish football clubs, particularly giants like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, frequently host well-attended open-door training sessions, often drawing thousands of fans, especially during festive periods or before major matches. [1, 2]
They had to appoint Wayne Rooney as manager as a punishment if I remember correctly
He was brilliant at Chelsea the first time and with Porto. A dickhead maybe but a truly elite manager. Just comes across as someone doing a half-hearted impression of that guy now.
I agree he is nowhere near where he was 20 years ago, but he still is a winner, picks up trophies wherever he goes. Won the league cup and Europa League with a really **** Man United team, won the conference with Roma and nearly got back to back European trophies but lost the Europa final the year after, he probably would have even won the league cup with Spurs had they not sacked him 6 days before the final, which is still one of the stupidest decisions from any board, ever! Replacing Jose with Ryan Mason 6 days before a cup final.
He is not up there with Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti, Enrique, but he is the tier under them (They are S, he is A)
