Blanc

Typical of some of the people in here.

PSG have reached the quarter finals for the last 3 seasons, hardly a poor record is it.

It's not like people on here to have knee jerk reactions is it

Indeed but some closer digging reveals that in those 3 seasons PSG only beat these sides in the knockout rounds to get there.

Bayer Leverkusen
Chelsea

The first time he has ever come up against a better side he comes up short.

I don't think he's a bad manager but he's not what we need right now - i.e a manager who can come in and change things right away

Still would prefer Blanc over Mourinho

For what that team has spent in terms of Europe they have underacheived drastically. I'm not saying Blanc is a bad manager and is still very young. He's not at the required level yet to take the job.

Having said that, still prefer him over Giggs

How long has he been manager there?
How long did it take SAF to get his first?

We won 2 in twenty years, were they bottle jobs?

We see it every year though, if a team has walked their domestic league (as PSG do every year) then once the league title has been sewn up they dont have the continuing momentum to carry the fight into the CL. The best teams that get furthest usually have something to play for domestically as well.

To be fair, some of them were

Robb then maybe we can cut Blanc some slack.

I have nothing against the guy. I just don't think he's good enough yet.

I just have this feeling that people mention Blanc simply because he is not Mourinho rather than looking at what he's acheived. Like I said he is not a bad manager, just he hasn't done anything to merit the the United job.
