The Anfield being a great atmosphere one is a whopper. They love to go on about it in the TV. Talking up the game. Blast YNWA out over the speakers to make it sound amazing, then little else throughout the match.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair they did whine very loudly and annoyingly on Sunday every time a United player made a challenge. Not sure if that counts as a great atmosphere.

No myth here. Extra 20'000 mutes to add to that famous atmosphere ✌️

What you got against Carlo?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing at all. Seems like a top fella. I just find he gets overrated as a manager and his league record is pretty modest for the sides he has managed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's won 8 league titles.

As a manager he's actually only won 5.

But he's the only coach to win the league in all of the Top 5 leagues. But he only won 1 league title in each country.

I do think only one Serie A and one La Liga, with his Milan & Real sides is a modest return tbh.

I've checked the new gladiator aliases. Nothing racist to see.

Still can't believe they called them shadow and nightshade. Even as a kid I knew it was wrong.

I remember I was made to hate him cos he took DRUGS or something. I assume he went to jail or something? Killed someone or self (also someone)?

I recognised a couple of them when I looked them up. Sprinter and YouTube fitness waanker. Also most are bodybuilders. That's not being an athlete. That's just roiding for looks. Would rather have a boxer or MMA person on there. But I guess it is just for show like in the 90s.

Depends how you choose to look at it. Winning a league title in all top 5 leagues is amazing and you just glossed over it. Staying at one club in one country for 25 years isn't necessary more difficult than changing to a new club and new country 5 times and still being successful.

How many Champions Leagues has he won?

5 I believe. That is more than United as a club.

The bloke is in the top 10 managers in terms of trophies won. And he is the only manager to win the title in the top 5 leagues. He is 100% a great.

Totally agree. He is a great.

Who qualify as great managers, and which are your criteria?
