I voted, and I won't discuss.
(I didn't vote 'No, I mean hell no!')
Nah...just emotions from the Newcastle game...when we see quite a few shots of Rafa on tv .... for many it is like seeing a long lost love one and all the good memories come flooding back especially the romantic night in Istanbul.Been away all day. Is there talk of Klopp being sacked?
No he did not ... rather than following the clear instructions of a simple yes/no he decides to bring that boring twat argentine into the question. Seriously...Simone ? Fuck him.Brendan nailed it.
I wanted a no, but not a hell no as he's a good manager, and I didn't want the never go back no either as that's just stupid. But it is a no, Crouch on the wing, nuff said.
No, it isn't. Managers and players have proven the truth of it numerous times over the years. It may not be a simple matter to figure out why it happens, but calling something "stupid" just because you don't understand it is arguably stupid in itself.

So managers and players can't improve? So if they were average or developing at one point, you should never no back? Sure, not stupid at all.
I don't get why we can't discuss it. So there is no context or perspective to the debate? To massage the ego of a Rafa fan?
It's got bugger all to do with them developing or not developing, and everything to do with the fact - the FACT - that when they return to previous clubs, in whatever circs, things usually don't work out.
Does it even happen that often? It's a pretty interesting topic.
I suppose Mourinho and Chelsea was an example of success - however brief.
Kenny's return as Liverpool manager was not. And if you look at players who have returned, then Fowler was a waste of time, and even Rushy wasn't as successful and prolific after his year at Juve, although it's hard to say if that was more to do with the lack of team-mates like Souness and Kenny second time around. And he did score another 139 goals or whatever!
It really depends on the age and quality of a player. I don't think anyone regretted re-signing Matic at Chelsea or Pogba at United.
As for managers, that's a little harder to have any real definitive agreement about. Do they get better over time? Dalglish didn't appear to. Keegan was a disaster at Newcastle.
There isn't really that many examples of managers returning to former clubs is there?
