We'll actually be starting next season (in all likelihood) with the same manager as last, seems a life time ago since that happened. Must be a nice feeling for the players to return after the WM/summer to the same group.

The Club has needed that and now with the trophy cupboard a bit more crowded they have a Manager they all must respect, his career in the game player and manager plus his record here should guarantee that.

I for one would have been happy for him to be in charge next season had we fallen short of the title this year but the success and the way the team played at stages has confirmed my belief that given time Ancelotti will have us playing some great football and winning things.

Roll on next season.
