looks like he is set to be appointed. In my opinion he is without doubt the greatest player to have ever played the game and I would love to see him do well as a manager but he doesnt exactly strike me as great management material, Does anyone at all think that this will go well for him and Argentina?
Who cares. its gonna be great fun...
how's his heart nowadays? He's a passionate fella at the best of times. Hope he does well.

Smacks of desperation from Argentina.
...and what are they going to do in the not unlikely event he balls' it up big time? It'll be like Vatican FC sacking Jesus.
I get a bit of an impression he's really just window dressing though.
They have Evita lined up next.Quote:

More like: ' Here you useless bunch of over paid tossers, I'm bringing myself on.'Quote:

I worry for Diego. If he balls it up, he could end up like Stan. The supporters Im sure will always love him anyway.
Well Stan was somewhat of a legend to us prior to him becoming our manager. Well maybe not legend material but "extremely respected" at least. Now look at him.Quote:

This is the most exciting appointment in management since Homer Jay took over from Flanders in the pee wee football team. 'Crespo your cut, Aguero cut, Lopez cut, Cambiasso your cut, Heinze, Riquleme, Gago cut, wooo look at all these cuts'!!! :D:D:D
I agree. I can't see it working at all. Should be entertaining to watch from the outside though.:)Quote:

Let's put this into context then:
England Manager = Paul Gascoigne (Multi Problems)
France Manager = Eric Cantona (Mistaking Supporters for Footballs)
Rep. Ireland Manager = Stephen Ireland (My Great Grandmother's 69th Cousin's, 19th Times Removed, Donkey Has Died, So I have to Go Home)
Brazil Manager = Romario (Let's go out and Party)
Colombia Manager = Rene Higuita (Been to Jail)
Holland Manager = Marco Boogers (Lived in a Caravan)
Turkish Manager = Alpay (Cannot take a beating particularly well)
Australian Manager = Mark Bosnich (Drugs)
Romanian Manager = Adrian Mutu (Drugs)
Haiti = Jean Ernst Joseph (Drugs)
Mexico = Jorge Campos (Weird Sense of Fashion)
Can anyone else come with more wacky combinations??:D
Not whacky but real ;Quote:
