Lol who in football responds to wifes comments? Very small time, he got sucked in.

Sucked in?

He blew them both out of the water. Enjoy Rafa.

 

[chef]

I hope she's given more platforms to speak to send Mou into further rages

I can see who wears the pants in this relationship, maybe Perez should have hired her as the manager.

She'll be the one giving the team talks and making sure CR7 is happy

What legacy does LVG have besides living in Cruyffs shadow.

????? how does LVG live in Cruyff's shadow, certainly not in terms of managerial success? He's the first to admit that Cruyff was the best dutch player he's seen. Van Gaal rarely talks about Cruyff, Cruyff seems very bitter about something. Cruyff doesn't believe in any other philosophy outside of total football.

The legacy LVG leaves is through the promotion of some of the best players over the last 20 years into their respective first teams. A lot of coaches aren't brave enough to do that, in fact it is very rare and has cost him his job at a couple of clubs but those clubs have benefited hugely from the experience.

Here's a list of a few players he's given first team opportunities to:
Edgar Davids
Clarence Seedorf
Edwin Van Der Sar
Patrick Kluivert
Andres Iniesta
Xavi
Thomas Muller
David Alaba
Holger Badstuber
Ronald De Boer
Frank De Boer
Marc Overmars
Michael Reiziger
Toni Kroos
Thiago Motta
Victor Valdes
Carles Puyol

His AZ team were the first outside of Ajax, Feyenoord & PSV to win the Eridivise since 1981. Look at Holland before LVG came back, during his tenure, and there results since he has gone. He's a brilliant coach who leaves a lasting legacy on clubs.

There is also the small matter of the shedload of highly successful managers who copy him, so he can't be all that bad.

Yes sucked in, she went fishing like a pro. Mou is engulfed in offended, severely damaged at this point.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

On Jose, poke the bear and you'll get the horns.....

 

[Bojan KantKick]

It'll be interesting to see if Benitez can get Real into the Champions League this season. He found it a bit too difficult last year.

She can do what she wants, he's her husband not her master. I hope she'll get more opportunities to speak

Interesting take on it.

 

[typeclub]

Interesting take on it.

Anyone knows they can get Mou to make himself look like an arseh*le, severely damaged because his ego can't take a hit. Even Rafa's wife knows

 

[Jatz]

Don't care if you support Chelsea or not, Mou's response is not on. All he had to do was play a straight bat rather than attack the guys weight through his wife.

Was Rafa's wifes comment 'on?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

some really precious people in here. oh no, he called rafa fat...the horror.

Oh it's so simple. Explain to me why nobody did this to stop him winning what is it? 8 league titles & a Champions League

 

[chef]

Meh, he's already rekt them both and moved on.

Yep everbody calls Rafa fat, his nicknames The Fat Spanish Waiter for **** sake.

 

[typeclub]

You think your manager rekt them, and alot of people think she exposed him.

 

[SM]

No outrage at Bruce's nicknames, so not sure why Rafa should be any different.

 

[Jatz]

Was Rafa's wifes comment 'on?

They were hardly offensive and came across as tongue in cheek at worst.

Why does Mou need to get in a slinging match with her? The guy is an egotistical nutbag.

Does anybody publicly call Bruce the elephant man?

Bit different for the average punter to say it, rather than a leader of one of the biggest clubs in world football.

Same as Costa, everyone here think its 'cool' to call him the missing link or elephant man then want to get their panties in a twist about someone being called fat.

Double standards hey.

 

[BlueBen]

Each to their own i guess, José just needs to fart nowadays to get people up in arms. TBH thats really probably as tame as it gets in terms of insults. Maybe the person starting this fire should be the one having the finger pointed at her.

Plenty of history between Pool/Chels/Rafa/José.

I find it odd that you can say this, on one hand, then express the views that you have about the lack of respect for Adam Goodes on the other.

You don't mind direct, personal insults, but are bothered by a bit of booing?

Sorry but a manager being told he leaves 3 clubs in messes is more offensive than being called fat.

Would have thought that's pretty obvious, but José brings out the angry in people.

If the person in question still hears it and is offended by it, what's the difference? Mourinho has said worse about managers before.
