Simeone celebrating Atleti scoring against Real in the cup today with his son. I know it doesn't mean much in the long run, but it only increases my respect and admiration for the man.

Maybe but it does show the absolute passion of the man - we have a manager that mostly sits on his arse during the game, and I would love to have a manager on the sidelines constantly communicating with his players and issuing instruction. I dont know how much of what he is shouting can be classed as tactical changes etc, but I do know that his constant cajoling of his players demands and gets 100% effort for every minute of the game. We have maybe four players (sanchez, debouchy, kos and flamoney ) who could fit seemlessly into his team structure such is the laissez faire attitude that runs through this squad, and a change of manager to a simeone or klopp would at least see a major improvement in our team regardless of any player recruitment
Dortmund say they will never sack Klopp. Strange thing to say unless they are waiting for him to show his hand. Simeone's star is rising at a great pace. Saw second half of cup game v Real last night. He has his team doing everything a manager would want. They defend as a unit, they hunt in packs and they attack with pace. Most importantly all the player believe in it and in him. There is a unity there that any club should be jealous of. Cannot see him leaving anytime soon. But if he did what a wake up call he would be for some of our players.
