Evra really is a little twit. Nobody messes with The King. He, Zizou and Patrick command respect of all who played with them.

Yeah but a small budget with say Inter may be bigger than Milan or Juventus. It's all proportionate to the league.
True but he's always going to be measured by the CL. He will have the same criticisms he's spent a billion fighting at City about not winning the CL there if he goes and there will be no such warchest to build a squad to compete with the big boys.
I think we could have beaten Madrid if we played them with our preferred XI. Vini would have ruined Ben White but Saliba would have been covering and as torrid a time as Carvajal had with Grealish, I think Martinelli would have given him the same sort of trouble as Vini gave White. The Arsenal team from before the World Cup was better than any version of Madrid this season.
So what is he going to do? Spent the next 10 years in Manchester? Have you ever lived there?
I've been up there a couple of times and that was more than enough lol. You might be right, I just think it's really tough to go from the kind of resources he's had everywhere else to Serie A even if Inter are relatively well off. They're never going to be able to buy him the sorts of players he's become accustomed to getting each summer. I don't know enough about him as a person to know if that would appeal to him. I know he definitely does want to manage Spain at some point but I don't know what the timetable is there.
Hes 52. 4 years in Italy, then a 4-6 year international stint would take him to 62.
Agreed. I don't know if he's a football lifer or not though. Maybe he's like Wenger and Fergie and will still be managing near 70.
Absolutely. You have to give them credit where it's due. This City team is exceptional. However, let's not forget that having a psychological advantage plays a huge difference in the team you meet.
I would much rather United add one meh trophy to an already-extensive (albeit aging) trophy case than City win a treble.No point, if they win the PL & CL then they might aswell have the FA Cup. The Utd fans I know are still talking about the Carabao Cup, imagine if they add an FA Cup to it
Look at the positions City players have taken up on the pitch for that throw in by Madrid, There's no way you're not likely to lose the ball.
bruh
He would be aware the only possible criticism of him is that he has never won trophies without the most significant resources in the league he has managed in. He actually admitted it in an interview after the arsenal game. I would love to see him attempt to win big titles with a team with relatively less resources; he might see the challenge in that, but at the end of the day and practically speaking, I guess its unlikely to happen.
Wow, Evra, how is he wondering around on the sidelines like this at City. Obviously, not there officially unless he is running a bucks party tour.

Arsenal before WC was the best team in the world
