Rucksackfranzose Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Managing football teams is a profession, why should managers be more loyal to their former employers than anybody else is to theirs? @SirBalon loyalty isn't a one way route, fans are asking for their managers to be sacked if results aren't like expected, how comes you expect managers to feel loyalty towards them under this condition?

Football had already become a business wile they were coaching and Dalglish himself won a league title with Blackburn with an early version of the Abramović effect. I disagree, the Old Firm makes Chelsea v Tottenham look like a kindergarten rivalry. It just isn’t the same at all, yes thye are both rivalries but the degrees are different.

Because football is about the fans and even in today's business orientated era the managers and players play to the tune of the fans. Boardrooms come and go and when Alfredo di Stéfano was made President of Honour for life at Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu had been dead for 30 years. Now can you please elaborate on your first post to me and what the hell it meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Joaquín later coach Sevilla? I very much doubt that!

Rucksackfranzose Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It meant that your example was irrelevant, because it can't be refuted, since Real Madrid never offered Cruyff a managerial post,so you can't prove he hadn't take it out of loyalty towards Barcelona or their fans.

Of course Real Madrid didn't offer Cruyff the job because they knew what the answer would be and I would even venture to say that Koeman wouldn't do it either and that isn't even on the same scale as Cruyff seeing as Johan is the terrestrial representation of God himself to the Cules.

Panna King Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Spike said: Not everyone is Cryuff nor should anyone be held to someone else’s standard. People can do as they please, it isn’t conditional on the abstract and often arbitrary definitions of loyalty. Good for Cryuff, he stuck to his ideals and he wouldn’t be Cryuff if he didn’t do so, but he is dead so he is irrelevant to this discussion. Besides, as I said it is different standard every instance, he played for Ajax and Feyeenord, so loyalty is ‘t so black and white. He played for Feyenoord to make a point, he desperately wanted to stay at Ajax but they told him he was too old and they were looking at younger players, Cruyff was so offended that he told the board that if they don't offer him another contract, he will join Feyenoord and make them champions, I believe the Ajax board laughed as they thought it was a crazy idea as Feyenoord had not won anything for 10 years..... but that is what happened and Feyenoord actually won the Double with Cruyff.

True Blue Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Mourinho said he would never manage Tottenham out of his love for Chelsea. Well it didn't stop him moving to United and having a go at the club and fans, even tough every normal Chelsea fan doesn't consider United as a rival apart from the post Roman era. Also more regarded as a title rival than the rivals like city or local rivals etc. Mourinho is perhaps a bad example, never regarded him as a man of principles regarding loyalty.

No, you must stop being ridiculously silly (have no idea what to call you, your name is incomprehensible and too long)... You attacked Johan Cruyff because of some stupid notion you thought would entertain by stimulating that brain cell that's placed all of its iq on his nick regarding international club trophies. You were then found wanting (not surprising) by not knowing what he'd won at all and then decided to disregard domestic football. But with you it didn't stop there.... Seeing as you made a voluntary statement, I then cited the perennial international loser in the club football scene and you go and make another error of judgment (I'm beginning to think "judgment" and self awareness isn't your forte) by talking about people that "changed the game" while leaving a trail on the argument regarding one of the most important individuals in football history where this particular debate would be in question. Listen ruck sack! Go fuck with someone else before I ruin you and you end up tripping-up over the excessively stupid amount of letters in your name. Now, toddle on young man.

You wrote a load of shit in a matter of hours and you've been found wanting. That in itself wouldn't have been a problem as I tend to ignore stupidity...
