Try actually coaching them - something he's forgotten how to do. Alright big Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United, Chelsea and City have all spent £100m+, when was the last time anyone won silverware consistently in England and done it on peanuts? I mean, obviously it wasn't consistent, and maaaaybe you could legitimately say it was a fluke, but Leicester. Obviously they weren't poor either. This transfer market is insane, I never thought I'd see 2 fullbacks go for just over £100m. I do wonder if any of this big spending is strategic, as it prices out a lot of foreign clubs and only the very richest in England can get the most hyped players. I don't think Pep is a bad manager, his record speaks for itself, but the pressure is well and truly on him after this. It's obviously much different for him than his last 2 jobs, where he had 1 real domestic competitor, to last year when 6 clubs were competing for the top 4. And this year, Everton now have money and have improved on some of their weaker points in the squad - so they may be ready to step up and make it 7 clubs fighting for top 4. After spending this much, I think the only way Pep can meet the pressure is to deliver a league title or the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
