Probably by 6pm tomorrow if the first team plays to it's usual standard.Wilf Wild 1937 said:I'm not saying for one moment that Sabella is coming or indeed that Pellegrini is definitely leaving but it sounds like decisions will be made this week.

I don't care who we get for the iterim or if we stick with Pellegrini, so long as we get Pep for the long term.

and spend another £200m and fail FFP.
Think outside the box. We need to tweak our GK situation.
To wit @ Selhurst park, Crystal Palace scored 2 goals on 3 shots on target. Very poor % of saves by our GK.
As it is our opponents are sussed to our weakness. Parked the bus and score on the minimal chances that are afforded by our inability to stop or make the saves. Further making it more difficult for us to score by entrenching their parked bus.
Give it a fucking rest will you about our goalkeeper.
He is the least of our issues.
I would settle for anybody who could get the best out of the current squad, as Pellegrini has demonstrated that he can't.East Level 2 said:We could go for Pep this summer, or next summer, or the summer after that.
Pep, Pep, Pep fucking Pep. Has he ever indicated he'd like to manage City?
Bayern will dominate in Germany for many years, their coefficient means they'll continue to get relatively easy CL groups so qualification for the knock-out stages is pretty much guaranteed. He's seen the crap brought in to City by Sorry-Arse-No and Burger-Stain since we won the league in 2012.
Why are so many assuming he'll be coaching us in the next couple of years?
That may be why people want Pep, but it's no guarantee he's interested.Gray said:I would settle for anybody who could get the best out of the current squad, as Pellegrini has demonstrated that he can't.East Level 2 said:We could go for Pep this summer, or next summer, or the summer after that.

I don't think Sabella is a very good fit in relation to the aesthetically pleasing attacking football the club is looking to play.
Bielsa would bring back the speed and the fight that seems to have dropped out of the team lately.
With the resources we have and him in charge we'd probably be the best team to watch in Europe (at least until all the players get knackered).
Pep also calls him the best manager in the world and would probably revel in taking over a side already instilled with the Bielsa philosophy.
Then Txiki wouldnt pick him. Its quite clear that he only picks someone if that manager has the needed style thats very compatible with the way we want to do it...

That kind of assumes Txiki has final say in the matter.
Which would take us even further down the rabbit hole...
