I'd actually forgotten that Maradona had managed Messi - I thought the Guardiola/Rijkaard and Messi connection would have been far too obvious.

Pissed off that Eds picked Cryuff.

I reckon for Question 2 (the first one in this section), we should be able to pick a player that Question 3 (?) has managed. I've already got a pick for Q3 and I've been forced into picking a 'not-so-amazing' player for Q2, whereas someone like GF can pick who he wants. Despite failing twice, he has a distinct advantage.

Yeah, Awta.

The choice was between taking a risk or playing with a manager with wider options.

I did pick a manager with wide options.

He was the one that got failed. Now the player I got has very few managerial options.

You should have considered what might happen if you had a fail on the manager pick but not the player pick.

GF is in the exact same position btw.
