as the old saying goes, its never as good the second time round.
A Chelsea legend, a Porto legend, an Inter legend...the guy's become a living legend almost everywhere he's been, but...
...if he goes on to outdo at United everything he's done elsewhere, he'll be remembered first and foremost as a United legend.
Bit like Ronaldo at Madrid. He'll probably always hold special status amongst United fans, but the ROTW will probably remember him first and foremost as a R Madrid legend.
I wonder if he enjoys 3/4 years at Utd and wins a PL or 2 and a few domestic cups will he look back after he's retired and consider himself a Chelsea man or a United man. Lampard will always be a Chelsea man despite that season with City, Cech too.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a toss up between Chelsea and United though. He ought still to have plenty of years ahead of him. As stated, he's held in high regard at other clubs too, clubs he might return to one day and do just as well as he did in his first stint. There may still be other clubs down the line too.
No one would have guessed a year ago that Leicester might become the club Ranieri holds dearest to his heart. They might not even be that club now, but there's a fair chance they are or will be.
Good article Flash, I pretty much agree with all of that and the second spell was still good value in spite of the season just gone if only for the additional silverware that was gained from it on our Club records. Another League title win and League Cup win are not to be sniffed at.
...did you're missus leave you recently pal?
