Carlo Ancelotti might be available in the summer :-k
Ancelotti is a resource hungry manager. LVG and FDB would work better within our constraints.
but you keep saying that we have a brilliant squad, so why cant Ancelotti do something with it?......In a way Ancelotti is perfect, he has the experience, the trophies, is the right age, great man manager, the press like him, being Italian maybe he knows Baldini and they can work together, he has already managed AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chels, as well as the moneybags operation in PSG so there is no likelyhood he will be poached. If Levy chose him and stuck by him, Ancelotti is a guy that hang around for a good 3-5 years and actually build something
no its not, he gets the mix right. He appreciates experience along with youth and as has been proven its this mix that generally brings success.Sorry can only make a quick reply, but basically it's about the medium-long term (cf next season)
I like Ancelotti, but his style is much more like Redknapp - assemble old, high-wage players for one final fling.
LVG and FDB are much more about youth, philosophy, systems and coaching.
its Real Madrid, they are never entirely happy.....bit like us really I read somewhere this morning that Real might make a change in the summer, they are looking a Laudrup:lol:Did I miss some gossip or something recently? Why is Ancelotti gonna be available. He's top of the league with Real Madrid.. Why would he be a potential candidate?
yeah, he said that in the past........things can always changeAncelotti has said in the past he's only interested in clubs that compete for trophies. While we have the potential to get there, I don't think he'll want to put in the time it will take.

He could focus all his efforts on the Carling Cup.
I would question LVGs motivation and dedication if he ever came here. He isnt young anymore and has won pretty much everything (I actually dont know this but judging by comments it seems he has)
I keep reading that he will be good with the young players, er so is TS. I keep hearing systems, philosophies etc etc etc - well like I say it depends on how motivated he is as implementing this so called system takes time and hard work.
He wont win the league while Mourinho is here.....i doubt anyone will. Mourinhos Inter already outfoxed LVGs Bayern in the CL final.van Gaal's motivation is his ego.
I bet it ****es him off that his protege (Mourinho) has won both major European domestic titles, whereas he has only won the Spanish one.
LVG believes he is the best manager in the world. Winning the league with a troubled perennial underachieving club like ours is about the most impressive thing he could do to reaffirm his position as the best. It's like why he took the AZ job, only on a bigger scale.

german tv today were reporting a dutchman to spurs in the summer is a done deal.
referring to sherwood as interim coach.
they reckon de boer has applied for it with van gaal's interest known and concrete. both reported to have met levy on several occasions.
