Good attempt, far too much words though, it's almost as if you've thought about what you're saying.

How about: WTF

X is 27 and Y is only 16???

true. but i still dont get why sven is so popular. with the current lazio, under lotito, he would have been relegated in the first year.

my problem is he is in top 50 rather than o'neill being out of it.

and that fact he won italian cup means nothing, its a worthless piece of junk. (and i'm half italian, and lived theremy whole life, so i should know how an italian cup is regareded in italy slightly better than you, porco dio)

I don't have a problem with you thinking he shouldn't be in the top 50, but thinking he shouldn't and MON should is just utterly bizarre

retired_civilian888 · 09-14-2007, 02:51 AM

Oh and yeah the Italian Cup obviously his biggest achievements there

in italty apart from lazio yes, and i already said what i think about his lazio.

and to be honest winning with benfica is the same as winning with celtic (once more i stress, imo)

Brian Clough should be higher merely by virtue of the clubs he has had success with:

Taking an unfashionable Derby to the league championship and would probably have won the European Cup if it hadnt been for Juventus ( probably ) bribing the Ref. in their Semi-Final

Taking Forest from being in Division 2 ( now the Championship ) to Division 1 champions in a year and double European Champions in 3 years ( In a 2 year period they won the League, 2 European Cups, 2 League Cups, the Charity Shield and a European Super Cup )

plus he has a main road named after him

kwchannell89 · 09-14-2007, 02:56 AM

in fact the only achievement i see that is particularly worthy is the uefa cup with goteborg
