IIRC he was called the german saddam

Maybe 'arry should take over german NT when Low joins us.

its not being butthurt

its the truth, the only people that agree with the sacking are those chelsea fans who called for AVB's head

he is a nice bloke and I have a right to be irritated

You might run Google translation over this:

I particularly love this part:

Bei Werder Bremen wurde Magath als Strafe für die verwöhnten Spieler verpflichtet und sagt später selbst dazu:
„Hinterher habe ich erfahren, dass Willi Lemke den Spielern gesagt hat: ‚Das habt ihr jetzt davon, jetzt kommt der Magath‘.“

At Werder Bremen, Magath was contracted as punishment for the pampered players and commented this later himself:
"Afterwards I learned that Willi Lemke told the players 'It's all your own fault - now you'll get Magath.' "

Magath is the son of a former Puerto Rican soldier in the United States Army stationed in Aschaffenburg and a German mother. Both were abandoned by his father in 1954, when he returned to his homeland. The adolescent Magath first heard from his father when he was 15 years old, after he wrote a letter to Puerto Rico. In 1999, he visited Puerto Rico and finally met his father. They established a relationship and started visiting each other twice a year ever since.

not sure if this is true

van gaal would do well at cleaning up

Do you have proof that it is the truth? No?

Also, you are not the only one who is irritated yet you are the only one who turned petty. Take it like a man, I am no more happy about it than you are.

always knew he wa snot full german.. he does not look "german White" ( SORRY IF IT OFFENDS ANYONE)

Well, Magath did have 43 caps for the German NT, so he was obviously German enough

Another quote from Wikipedia:

Seine harten Trainingsmethoden, etwa die Arbeit mit Medizinbällen, gaben ihm von Anfang an die Spitznamen Saddam und Quälix.
„Ob Felix Magath die Titanic gerettet hätte, weiß ich nicht. Aber die Überlebenden wären topfit gewesen.“
– Jan Åge Fjørtoft (nach dem Klassenerhalt 2000 mit Eintracht Frankfurt)

His hard training methods - for example the work with medicine balls - gave him the nicknames "Saddam" and "Quälix" right from the start.
"Whether Felix Magath would have saved the Titanic I do not know. But the survivors would have been in perfect shape."
- Jan Åge Fjørtoft (after Eintracht Frankfurt narrowly escaped relegation in the year 2000)

You know, I'm not sure how successful Low would be at club level. Club management and international management are two different beasts and quite often one succeeds at one but fails at the other.

Maybe Abramovich wants to ask Löw about his opinion which German coach would be most fitting for Chelsea?

What kind of noob holds on to an Abra without evolving it? :vagi:

I would happy like to see Ozil, Khedira, Boateng, Lahm, Kroos, etc., at Chelsea then :vagi:

Lowes not an idiot no way would he go to Chelsea

besides the fact they have 0 players for his play style

mata?^^

BTW Löw was in Switzerland for a Mercedes promotional event, he probably did not meet Abramovitch to discuss a job offer, or at least not to seriously discuss ist.

Chelsea want a German? While I'm loving the Magath idea, since it's the best way to get a couple of overpaid players in line, his training methods will probably kill the older ones.

Go for a real bargain and hire Rangnick on the cheap before Bayern do after the upcoming sacking of Heynckes.

Or, if they're willing to invest in a proper squad restructure, get Tuchel (Mainz coach). They're all obtainable, affordable, and tactically brilliant.
