A poor start to the CL competition, and they are "only" 3rd in the Bundesliga...

Hmmm wonder who they'll get in there
Or whether they'll try and get that kid in from Hoffenheim...1 -
Here we go again on the Manager Merry Go Round - I must admit that we could do worse than Ancelotti though I would expect at least £2m compo for Robbo.1
-
Young manager from Hoffenheim has been strongly linked in the past. Seemed a cert he would be going there next season.
or Karel Fraeye
I might have misheard it1 -

Bayern will struggle for a while .. they can no longer compete financially to attract top players like the big clubs in France, Spain and England0

tbh, and ok I didn't see all of the match (about 50 mins either side of half time), but thought BM were the better team, they just kept getting caught on the break by a clinical forward line.1

Yes, Lewandowski will be demanding a move to Palace in January...North Lower Neil said:

Love that we've somehow managed to make the lazy CL gags even lazier.Scoham said:

Genuinely got a laugh out of it.
On a serious note, listening to On The Continent, the podcast with half The Football Ramble lads and Any Brassell and James Horncastle, they were saying how the hardest thing for Ancelotti is that Bayern were so good under Pep, so fit, so strong, so dominant, that basically anything he (Ancelotti) does will feel like a step backward.
Naggelsman at Hoffenheim has been mooted as the next Bayern coach, but I don't know that anyone expected it to be so soon.
Have to say I'm baffled by this. Dortmund have started the league campaign absolutely brilliantly, but they have so many injuries to key players that their squad looks thin in some areas and I think their form will dip at some point. Bayern essentially got beaten by the best front 3 in the world the other night, and without their first choice keeper.
The reality of the situation is that Ribbery and Robben are both aging and aren't as consistently brilliant as they once were (though Robben is absolutely unplayable on his day). Coman is still something like 19 or 20 and good but raw and inconsistent. By all accounts James has started the season well, but is still kind of bedding in. I think losing Lahm and Alonso was a really big blow, both for their quality and their experience.3 -
Ancelotti seems to be one of the luck few mangers that can go to any club that has the best players and most money in their league, achieve expectations or less, then get another great job off the back of it1

Gutting, just had his book delivered!2

Read that he's being linked with the West Ham job today... Maybe his star is finally falling...sinking feesh said:Ancelotti seems to be one of the luck few mangers that can go to any club that has the best players and most money in their league, achieve expectations or less, then get another great job off the back of it

He's one the title in each of the 5 biggest leagues in Europe, 3 Champions Lges etc.sinking feesh said:Ancelotti seems to be one of the luck few mangers that can go to any club that has the best players and most money in their league, achieve expectations or less, then get another great job off the back of it
I get what you are saying about him being at big clubs, but isn't that the point, he did win those clubs the trophies so you can see why other big clubs employ him to do the same for them.
Sure he'd have been a better bet for United than Moyes, for example.1 -
Remind me how many times Bayern won the Champions League under Pep?SDAddick said:
