[sir baconface]

There’s talk that Pep’s sending Phil in as a substitute to sign the contract for him...

As you were Phil has sat down again.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Pep looks tired and frustrated when interviewed. Maybe even a little sad.

City are playing well below what we've come to expect from these players, and enjoy over the past couple of years.

But which is "chicken" and which "egg,", is hard to tell ?

 

[remember arthur mann]

I think the main problem is pep needs an energetic assistant manager that helps keep his fire burning. Someone that challenges his decisions and gives him a mental chess game. Would pep be like this if Arteta had stayed

Need to get Torrent back on stream now he's been sacked by Flamengo.

 

[FantasyIreland]

If he doesn't then i think we should be all over Rodgers.He is a marvellous tactician,brilliantly enthusiastic,and very very hungry for success.

He can bring that young kid,Fofana,with him too.

I really don't want Pep to leave , but I really think he is going . I read something the other day saying he is going to give a decision in January . Isn't that when he handed his cards in at Munich ?

I'm not sure,but its really bad timing where his successor is concerned.I would hope if that's true,he provides us with the pleasure of his presence until the summer.

I don't think he was suggesting he would leave in Jan. Pep would probably make the board aware of his decision to leave at the end of the season and leave it up to them whether they wanted to make it public. Problem is the board would be sounding out other potential replacements and as we know football is a small world so whether they chose to make it public or not, it would get out.

If Pep does decide to leave for a sabatical , then we should only consider a manager with a proven track record of winning trophies , Allegri would be ideal , a manager like Rodgers is a proven serial bottler the only trophies he has won is in a one team league , like shooting fish in a barrel. Pochetino is similar , a bit of a nearly man anyway he will be at the Swamp before Xmas were top four is their holy grail.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Our rivals would piss ourselves if we hired the bottler that is Rodgers.

Can you imagine Brendan Rodgers lifting the CL trophy? You'd have to be pretty optimistic if so.

Allegri plays defensive football which is no go for our board, rightly so.

Pochettino or Nagelsmann, no body else really.

mmmmm.

 

[Centurions]

I don't understand this insistence that we only get a manager who's won something, would people be happy with Mourinho? He's won a shed full of trophies.

Pochettino, Nagelsmann or Rodgers would do me fine.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

If we believe in all the long term, strategic, joined-up-thinking, then the club will have probably already approached a successor who is fully conversed with our current issues, allied to the potential of our Academy prospects.

However, we're fast approaching the point where a decision needs to be communicated, as the last thing we need is the sense of drifting that happened under Pellegrini.

That actually concerns me more than whether Guardiola stays or goes.

 

[waspish]

I feel Pep ain’t going to stay so.

Come pep decision time in January club will probably make the statement that he is leaving at end of season and we have a manager to take over.

i dont understand this insistence that we have to play open attractive football , Allegri or Simeone would bring trophies , they are proven winners , Rodgers teams (outside one team Scotland) have never run the course and never will.

I'd be very happy if we hired Allegri, but I would still thinking unlikely unfortunately - Soriano has stated on numerous occasions that the style of play is a key part of the Group's strategy, so I would think that reduces the number of potential candidates.

I personally think Pochettino will get the job, and I think he could be a good manager for us even if he hasn't won any silverware. There's no guarantee of success whoever we hire, and regardless of the manager our transfer dealings will need to improve significantly over the next couple of years.

Whilst open attacking football doesn't guarantee trophies, I believe than many would prefer that to dull defensive tactics, favoued by Mo\urinho for instance , which might achieve the same objective.

And hoof ball tactics are not going to cut it either imo.

He`s gonna stay 100%
