Never claimed it did, was just sharing the article I found.
Rijkaard's Holland and Barca teams were beautiful to watch. I remember that Euro 2000 Semi where Holland should have beaten Italy about 5-0 but somehow managed to lose on penalties (Spursy). On the other hand it seemed like he struggled with lesser players at Rotterdam (maybe not surprisingly as his brand of football needs gifted players) and early on with Barca. I also read this bit from a fan about his sacking from Gala:
"Rijkaard was brought in with high hopes. He led Barcelona to win the Champions League, and had experience with star players like Ronaldinho, Messi, and Eto. Taking Galatasaray to the top of the league with Milan Baros, Harry Kewell, Arda Turan and Elano Blumer shouldnt have been a problem. Granted we a string of injuries last season, but what was to blame this time around? We brought in an assist machine like Zvjezdan Misimovic, the Ligue 1’s top defender in Lorik Cana and one of Liverpools top prospects in Emiliano Insua. Yet every game it seems like everyone on the pitch has no direction and plays with no heart. I was a fan of Rijkaard, but I havent seen him do anything spectacular with this team. We need someone who can wake this team up and motivate them to go out there and play their hearts out."
Risky, but if he could get us playing like c.2000 Holland or c.2006-2008 Barca then it's a risk worth taking.
Indeed, the football Capello proposes is not too exciting, but it is effective. He has a big ego and this might also be a problem. On the other hand, throughout his entire managing career he proved that he is capable of building a winning team and i presume that at this very moment this is what most of us want.2 things.
Why have so many voted for Capello? His brand of football is renowned for being successful but extremely ugly. He'd take 1-0 wins all year, with no regard for any brand of football, the thing that has cost AVB his job and caused so much visual and emotional pain. He might steady the ship, but he certainly wouldn't improve our football.
De Boer. Seems a popular choice on here. Why? What has he done that makes people think he will be a success in the Premier League? He only has experience in the Dutch league, which alone doesn't make him a clear choice. I'm not saying I'm against him per se, but given the uproar that AVB was the wrong guy, FDB's CV hardly reads any better?
You presume wrong, my friend. Read through a number of the threads here, and it is clear that the style of football was the problem, not so much the results. Sure, the two hammerings haven't helped, but his points tally and win % are fine, so the brand of football must be the reason - therefore - Capello shouldn't be considered at all.Indeed, the football Capello proposes is not too exciting, but it is effective.

Regarding AVB, i don't think it was the 1-0 wins and the boring football that ultimately cost him the job, but the 6-0 and 5-0 defeats to the likes of City and Liverpool respectively.
As far as De Boer goes, i think you are spot on. Bringing him would be a gamble, just like it was when we brought AVB, not sure if Levy would do the same thing twice (at least not twice in a row).
he could be hes number 2Simone is flying with Atletico and would probably laugh at us if we tried to get him. Plus does he even speaky da ingleesh
would be really nice if the club made some sort of statement or communication of any kind just to let us know what the fuck has gone on /is going on. Fucking media blackout. What other industry treats paying customers this way and gets away with it?
