Croatian Manager Living in 1999

(Extract from F365)

Party Like It's 1999

Like most right-thinking people, the Mediawatch is a massive fan of Slaven Bilic.

How could you not love a manager who chain smokes (it's cool and you know it) and plays in a Croatian rock band named 'Rawbau'?

And today we love him even more, thanks to his thoughts on where Jesper Olsen lookalike Luka Modric would be best served playing his football next season.

Here are those quotes in full: "I would be very happy if Luka finds a new club before Euro 2008. I would want this for all of my players who are looking for new clubs and are at the end of their contracts.

"As for Luka, Newcastle United are no doubt a big club - just behind the top five: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton. "NUFC are in the range of Chelsea, Leeds United and Aston Villa but can invest a lot more money in new signings than let's say Tottenham. "Also it's more likely that Newcastle will be English champions than Tottenham. Luka wouldn't be making a mistake if he signs for The Magpies."

Brilliant stuff. Those quotes were brought to you directly by the year 1999.
