Has everything?

I wouldn't be too sure of that, he sure has the talent, but his temperament is questionable, a players mentality is almost as important as his talent.

The reason i don't expect him to have a good first year other than the obvious "its a completely different league" argument, he might not get as much chances as he hopes. Competition for places at City is going to be fierce with the big names they have at their disposal, they won't be waiting for him to adapt, if he doesn't deliver fast, he might find himself warming the bench.

Does it lol? :shifty: So if you agree with it then it is true, and if you disagree then it is also true?

Zeman was once a good coach, but he will always be an attention seeking asshole. People actually listen to this guy?
I said those who claim that Italian football is in crisis are usually attacked in some way. That's what you call ad hominem. An example would be Moggi -- most of the time he speaks the truth regarding the league and Juventus, but folks attack him, not the arguments.

The strength of Roma,Lazio,Milan and Juve has gone down but the other teams like Napoli,Samp,Genoa and Palermo have improved in recent years.


Translate league for into EL and CL form and we'd be grand, along with marketing and stadia
I think that is nothing but an illusion for the most part. Those clubs just seem better because the likes of Juve and Milan have struggled. Genoa might be an exception.

You may be right, certainly the teams are underperfoming in Europe, but Italians always do these days, the standard of their play, especially Palermo and Napoli rivals I think the likes of Spurs and Villa.

Hopefully, Napoli can go far in the EL with us, and Samp can get the group stages with maybe Inter and Roma going into the knockouts.

Overall the decline is slowing at a reasonable pace, not quick enough to avoid stagnation of the league but noticeably.
