Sorry for asking the question several hours after it was first posed, but has there actually been any credible itk about Jurgen (and by credible I don't mean Tottenham_Teddy or whatever his name is)?

Oh God no. And by all indications here in the US, he loves his job and makes a boat load of cash already. Enough to afford a gold grill and hydraulics for that sweet-ass bug and there are some shops in East LA that could hook him up solid.

It's not about loyalty. He took the job, not because of the money being offered, but because he wanted to really set something special up. He wanted to change everything about US soccer from the ground up. He isn't the type to just dump that after less than a year in charge, especially with qualification starting up this week. He has stated he loves it in California and his wife and kids are Americans. He stated that he had plenty of offers all over Europe after being let go by Bayern, but that he only wanted to move home. Loyalty to Spurs is the only reason I could see him even consider taking the job.


Post #2 and FUCKING NAILED IT. It took me six months and the best I've done is "That post actually didn't make me wish your mother had an abortion". But that Starting Price is always quick with a kind word so I don't trust it totally.

Something that I wish people would remember when describing players as 'legends'.

But came back again and helped save us from relegation. I was only young at the time but still remember his four goals against Wimbledon.

Nice to know he's doing well and appreciated in the States. I get the feeling that he's cutting his teeth in at the deep end at international level (and it doesn't get much deeper than your own nation, followed by the most up and coming country in football right now) before he eventually goes back to club football armed with experience.

I certainly don't think it's the right time for him, us, or the USA national team for Jurgen to leave right now.

I think our managerial options are Moyes, Martinez :eek: and AVB if Redknapp is a gonner. I know this isn't remotely on-topic or 'itk discussion' but given the last 30 hours or so (and the fact it's 2 minutes to 2 in the morning UK time) I just don't care.

He didn't do it all by himself, although he had a big hand in it. But why did he come back? Because he had bombed at Sampdoria.

Club legends don't abandon the club half way through a contract. Club legends - like Perryman and Mabbutt - choose to stay in spite of offers for more money from more successful clubs. Club legends are made by outstanding service over a long period - not by scoring a few goals and fucking off.
