Saw a title on another sports page regarding Villa-Boas, as Mr Anti football and his tactics and style as soooo boring. Zenit though have just been crowned champions. Even with this achievement former players slate him as poor. They almost hate watching them.

This got me thinking (happens on occasion). We came close or at least strongly linked with AVB. We went with Rodgers.

My banter question to fellows fans, incl ed001. Would you rather AVB dull boring negative football weekly, but a title. Or Rodgers exiting fluid play, like last season and finishing 2nd. For this you have to imagine consistency of exciting football, not our reality.

Both result in CL football. Check
Both result in accolades. Check
Both result in decent players. Check

However, one constant excitment, goals decent players, which move on but are replaced and I'm afraid no trophies - but you enjoy going each week.
The other is the opposite. You're champions, but wow you almost can't bear it.

Which would you take, just for banter.

{Ed001's Note - I would take the better football, but not under either of those two, both are not my cup of tea as managers.}

After 25 years without a trophy I can't think of any LFC fan who will not prefer taking the title with as boring football as it can be at least for 2-3 seasons. Then we can think about style. In practice it is hard to see how it could be boring. Winning the title meaning winning many games including winning matches against the top teams. How boring can it be to beat ManU, Chelsea, Arsenal etc?

AVB and BR are totally irrelvant here. AVB failed miserably with Chelsea and Spurs, was never near the title and LFC this season was in most games one of the worst teams to watch in the PL.

Bear in mind that they are both the offspring of Mourinho. AVB absorbed all of the pragmatism and stifling football, whilst Rodgers absorbed. Erm, something else. Neither has the charisma of their mentor, but Rodgers tries to bring his own twist on things (a sprinkle of the worst bits of Barca, and a half hour lesson off Bielsa), whilst AVB just doggedly follows the basics. Take your pick.

I would take a title any time. that's what its all about! The end result. The fancy football is just a bonus.

I must be of the old fashion brigade because I always thought we pay our money to be entertained. Whilst being entertained by exciting football the end result can quite possibly turn into a league title.The days of winning the league sorely playing boring football is a thing of the past

Avb nor Rogers can win a league title in the epl. Rogers would have a better chance in my opinion, but he won't. If he stays, he will most likely be gone by the end of next season and his status dampened even further meaning the best job he could get in this country Spurs or Southampton. Unless city prove they are the morons they have proven to be and take a punt on him, and even then he won't win, because we all know Mourinho owns Rogers. So he will coach in Spain, and will not win a league there either.
