When was Lou Macari last relevant in football? He has forgotten more about Football than you will ever know if you live to be 100 No doubting that but his way of management hasn’t been relevant since 1996? It’s just a silly statement.

When was Lou Macari last relevant in football? What a strange comment. Not really. He hasn’t managed to a good standard since the 90s. Totally irrelevant.

When was Lou Macari last relevant in football? Lou Macari. Irrelevant to Stoke supporters. You heard it here first. Thanks Bayern. PS to help everyone can you tell us when modern football began. So we know what’s relevant. Thanks

So as you have never managed a professional football club your opinion is then even less relevant. I guess there will be no more posts from you then, how sad 😔

The game has moved on. So when are we allowed to reference? Just to be clear. At what point does modern football begin?

It was tongue in cheek but also acknowledging the fact that Lou loved to combine youth and experience. Football has changed no question. But I think the key to getting out of the Championship is still a combination of the two. As Ipswich and Leicester have proved this season again. But Bayern likes to think he knows better. As usual.

It was clearly tongue in cheek but with affection and also acknowledging the fact that I still think getting your age mix is vital to success in this league. Do you think it’s irrelevant? That you can get promoted as easily with a very young squad or a very old squad? Or as Ipswich and Leicester proved (and Macari came close to proving) a balanced mix of young and experienced is crucial? Tell us the golden formula because I’m sure everyone wants to know. Also I’m still waiting for you to tell me when modern football began so I know what I’m allowed to reference in the future.

Have the best players you will get promoted as long as the system suits them. Huddersfield nearly got promoted two seasons ago and the season afterwards nearly got relegated, with close to the same team. Also, I'd say 'modern football' started post-Ferguson. But I'm not bayernoatcake so perhaps they've got a better idea of the answer

All football is a continuum and to not learn from history, good or bad would be idiotic. Pep is a student of the game past and present. I doubt he thinks anything is "irrelevant". I'll let you rephrase.

On a different note why post Ferguson? Surely rule changes (eg abolishing the back pass) or the advent of sky sports. Or the founding of the Premier league? My opinion like another expressed above is there’s no such thing. Football is a continuum. Some things change. Some stay the same.

Think his retirement and the changing of status quo came hand-in-hand with the growing transition of man management, barebones manager-has-all-the-power football club management moving towards the 'modern day' quo of director of football, head coaches who spend hours on the tactics board, stats, sports science etc. This might be controversial but I'm convinved Ferguson would struggle versus the very best nowadays. That Champo League final, Ferguson got his arse handed to versus Guardiola.

Looks a unit can play a few positions. Get him in . Is he a DM or central defender?

That’s the beauty of a big DM they can drop in with the CB’s or play the role for the full game Declan Rice, Eric Dier. I’ve always much preferred a big DM for that very reason. A player like Pearson, Allen , Woods just can’t do it to the same effect. Even when just dropping in between the CB’s you’ve got an aerial deficiency.

So i wonder if we'll be announcing any other signings like Viktor pre official Transfer window opening on 15th June... feel like possibly Sam McCallum and this lad from Fleetwood have got a strong swell of rumours
