Had we got Van Persie it would have been us. Mancini took us out from their shadows and they’ve never been the same since.

Until Pep wins the CL all he will have done is win the same competitions as Mancini but starting from a much easier position.

Pep said himself winning (under Mancini) the first one was the hardest of all and set the club up. Ie without RM nothing else would have followed.

Same as Liverpool with Shankley.

I hope Pep stays for another five years and wins us the CL.

I think being the first team to ever reach 100 points in the biggest achievement.

Really ? Even after all the trophies Pep’s won ? I guess everyone has their opinions I suppose. Mancini was great, love what he started here but Pep is on another level.

Pep was given a Lamborghini to drive in fact he was given one by Bayern and Barca as well, he has managed to outdrive other managers in slower cars with a certain amount of panache. However he has just been lapped 3 times by a bloke in a Toyota Corolla.

Some may say get the guy in the Corolla others like Pep will just demand a faster Lamborghini. The wider the gap the more of a genius he looks. Klopps Kia Ceed did show him his exhaust as well.

Anyhoo when pep leaves for another stacked in his favour race elsewhere the best options although two are somewhat unlikely are

Tuchel
Klopp
Rodgers
 
For sake of clarity as to my views:

What Pep has achieved has been incredible. He’s cemented our position as the dominant club domestically and taken us some way forward in Europe.

That is no mean feat. But, I believe that what RM achieved was more difficult to do and I will always feel more indebted to him.

I saw City beat Newcastle At Wembley in 76 when I was a little over seven years old. For 35 years I never met a single blue who was younger than me that had seen us win a trophy in the flesh. At the Stoke match I sat there at Wembley again, aged 43. 43 and the youngest person there to have seen City win a trophy. 90 minutes later that dreadful mantle passed to someone far younger than me.

Six months later I was at Old Trafford seeing us hand out out the biggest derby hammering in living memory when they were top of the tree. Shifting the power. The visible shock.

With the passing of time it’s easy to forget what an achievement winning the title was.

Breaking that duck, building a team whose key components would be the basis on which a decade of success would be built by the next two managers. Rm signed 3 of the best players to ever wear a blue shirt.
Pep hasn’t signed one of the top ten.

To me those are feats that count more than the points records etc. that followed, incredible as they are.

I really hope Pep wins us the CL, because that will be unsurpassed in our history and will something achieved by very few clubs.
Until then I will personally feel more admiration for what RM delivered because I think it was more far difficult to do.

To answer the question, hopefully Pep will still be here in 5 years’ time. Byvthen a new coach will have emerged who’s the obvious choice. It would be great if it’s VK or another alumni. Patrick perhaps.

I can’t see Klopp managing another English Club. Rodgers clearly has something. Ancelotti probably too old. I expect there is a clear succession plan. The owners are too smart not to have their eye on someone. It certainly won’t and shouldn’t be RM. never go back.
 
Like others have said on here it's perverse to think about him leaving when he's not long signed a new contract. I can't think of who might replace him but I do think there's a chance he may still go on beyond his current extended contract. It's clear to me he's never come across a team or club like us before (I know that's obvious but I hope you know what I mean) and he does seem to see us as a challenge. And a challenge is what he thrives on.

We shall see.
 
Depending on how Spain does in the next two years, Luis Enrique surely will be near the top of the list. Optics of it makes sense especially if Pep is only in it for two more years. I’m sure Pep will give clear indication early to the board anyways so they are aware and have a succession plan in place, seems like he has that kind of respect for our top brass.
 
I don’t get the love-in for Pochettino.

At Spurs and now at PSG he’s shown himself to be a nearly-man bottle job. His record at Spurs was shite considering the talent in that team.

Believes his own hype too much considering he’s won absolutely jack shit. He’s nowhere near good enough for City.

Bottle job, worst saying in football ever
 
When Pep leaves our club - I very much hope that our next manager is... Pep!

Pep is a unique manager in world football - at some point he will no longer be manager of our club - and when that inevitably occurs - we will be much worse off (I think) because of this.
