Take your blue tinted specs off pal. Pep has a fair way to go yet before he catches Fergie up. Many blues find it hard to accept how successful a manager he's been for some strange reason. Guardiola is nowhere near as successful as Ferguson at the moment.

He's only done 12 years as a manager,take any 12 year period in fergusuns time to compare with Pep and Peps's will beat it.

Yep,he just doesn't do enough on a consistent basis.We can get good money and find a player who is far more reliable and dependable.We are in a period where unpopular and tough decisions need to be made.

We’d be absolutely fucked without Sterling. One of the highest scoring wide players in world football. You’d have to be buying Mbappe, Salah or Mane to replace those goals in the team from the flank.

We’ve already lost Sane and soon Aguero. Sterling on top of that would be a disaster.

Agree. We can get a quality winger and let sterling be. Pep loves sterling. He isn't going to let him go. Having said that sterling needs to improve his game get more consistent

Ferguson was a great manager for United, I have no issues accepting that.

His honours during his 39-year managerial career are:

2 Champions Leagues
16 league Titles
9 FA and Scottish FA cups
5 League and Scottish League Cups
2 Cup winners cups
2 European Super Cups
1 Club World Cup

37 in total

Which is 0.95 trophies per season.

Pep has the following honours in his 11-year managerial career:

2 Champions Leagues
8 League Titles
5 FA Cup (or equivalent)
3 League Cups
3 European Super Cups
3 Club World Cups

24 in total

Which is 2.18 trophies per season.

So it's not as cut and dry as you put it. The united team Fergie had was easily the best in the premier league for the 26 years he managed them. Also, Fergie is retired currently. Of all the great managers available NOW, who's better?

I agree mate, I think if you look at piss cans career as a whole, he was successful at St. Mirren and even more so at Aberdeen, not many of the big guns these days can claim to have had success with teams far below what is considered as top tier nowadays.. I hated the twat but his record speaks for itself (unfortunately)

Correct and if after any season he finished 2nd and won a cup ,then anyone suggesting he was a spent force having had a rocky start for 8 games when struggling with empty stadiums lots of games and injuries,while transitioning the team, would quite rightly have been laughed out of town, and down the road been made to look very silly.

I'd be looking to replace Mahrez,Gundogan,Mendy,Zinchenko,Bernardo,StonesAguero and,if the right replacement was available,Sterling.

A couple of those can be done via the academy.

i would include Rodri , big job trying to fill Dinho's boots , he just reminds me of Javi Garcia and Fernando not quite good enough for our level.

To be the very best , we have to sign the very best , if someone like Real came in with over £100m then we could approach Mbappe and add another £100m , he is the best in the world in his position.
Sterling has done really well and developed under Pep , but if he took even half his chances he would score 40 a season , he is very poor in one on one situations , and there are better players out there.

Realistically there’s absolutely no one we could buy who would score more goals than Sterling from his natural wide position. When you say let’s get Mbappe, it’s just fantasy football stuff.

When we are on it as a team Sterling gets enough chances to capitalise but when we're under the cosh or off form he vanishes.

He’s been playing as a centre forward for most of the season which is far from this best position.

Apart from that he’s had 3 poor months in the last 3 years.
 
Ball Bag is clown and knows nothing.
We have more than 5/6 players who can stay and perform, maybe our manager needs to recycle his tactics.
Kevin

Ederson

Sterling

Torres

Walker

Dias

Ake

Laporte


Are names which are good enough.

Bernardo Cancelo can be utilised properly and Rodri tok was a big investment so won't cut losses just yet.
Jesus can be a back up.


For those who are absolutely selleable include Mahrez gundo Zinchenko Mendy Garcia and Aguero probably going.

We don't neee wholesale changes, except maybe when it comes to tactics

What he did at Aberdeen was exceptional in winning trophies from the Glasgow clubs. Ferguson spent big at United but he also successfully integrated academy players into the first team and turned them into world class players. Something Guardiola hasn't done. And until he does he will be dubbed as a 'chequebook manager' by many.

If we know our Transfer policy we never go for big established names unlike real Madrid or Barcelona or do big money transfer Like 100 M + on a single player. we could argue that this method is incorrect but this is our transfer policy so far. And Mbappe has repeatedly said he doesn't want to join us.
