Really? Believe me I’d love to win ol’ big ears, but the prem would top that easily...I have a sneaky feeling though we’ll bag both

Trophy or not what he has achieved in this petro dollar era is just phenomenal, Bill Shankly famously said I was made for Liverpool and Liverpool was made for me, in other words club and manager were a perfect fit, I think the same can be said of Jurgen and this club, he is a footballing romantic in a sport full of spivs and cold eyed cynics and let's face it this club runs on emotion on mythology. Jurgen is made for this club and we are made for him.
If he goes through some bad times so what? Shankly went through some bad times but the club stood by him and were rewarded, I bet Dortmund wish they would have stood by him. Let's not make the same mistake they did.

Erm.... We've spent over £300 million!!?
Alisson 65m
VVD. £75m
Fabinho 39m
Keita £48m
Ox. 35m
Shaqiri. 12.5m
Robertson 7m
Salah. 37m
Mane 30m
Matip free.
Wjnaldum 25m

That's £373.5 million

That's not chicken feed... We're entitled to see results after that sort of outlay.

Agree with all of that Yakka 

BUT don't understand

I bet Dortmund wish they would have stood by him.

I thought they loved him and were distraught when he left ? ?

And no, City haven't sold for ANYTHING close to that.

Yeah but his last season there was a poor one, they were in the relegation zone for months I seem to remember. They loved him but thought he'd taken Dortmund as far as he could. As we saw with Shanks though every team you put together has a shelf life and sometimes the rebuilding process doesn't run quite as smooth as you'd like, great managers get there in the end though.
