Well the 2006 team had brought in shevchenko (i love shevchenko (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) brought in ballack, big expectations of that team, even coming off the back of a 05-06 title winning season, but then again man united were on a revival themselfs, heck on the old manager games chelsea had fucking massive amounts of money.
that team also did well that season FA cup glory to go along with it.
2012 team's containing well some has beens - off formers, the team just needs some real rebuilding changing around, and a need to not sack a manager every season. i reckon villas boas should have been given more of a chance but..well it just looks like things didn't work out. that or he should have stuck at porto for a few more years, gain more experience and learn more, face teams that are known giant killers/Teams that could rip porto to shreads/teams that porto could rip to shreads
i do wish villas boas well, wherever he goes next
