Next Manager after Pep

[Bournemouth Blue]

This might have been discussed before, but the demise of our neighbours in Salford after the Fergie years has been quite obvious. So we now enter the later era of the Pep years, I doubt he will stay for much longer than his current contract, so do we have a plan beyond? If so, I hope it is better than the neighbours’ had. Thoughts welcome.

Just let Pep choose his successor.

Guaranteed to work…

Still Gareth Taylor as favourite for me. “In house“ and the continuation of those WTF jaw dropping team selections.

 

[Blue Til Death]

He won’t sit there and cry like Noddy. He will walk away with dignity and a big fuck off sack full of trophies ..!

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

Doing the opposite of what the Rags did would be an excellent strategy. No sinecures for the old régime, no Pep-picks-his-successor, no marquee-signings, no sense that we have a divine right to anything at all which hasn’t been earned by the same cleverness, craft, and graft that won our recent haul, no “give it to Zabba / Vinny til the end of the season“ shite, and - above all - no attempt to patent a City Way of playing, and get the new gaffer to play Pep-ball.

As Prestwich Blue said re paperboy’s sacking - be glad it happened, don’t be sad it’s over. And we’ll have a few more “Pep’s overthought this one again” threads before he zips his coatigan up for the final time.

There’s so many differences between City and that shower I don’t know where to start. Ok one very big thing, we don‘t rely on bent referees to win competitions. Our academy has started producing gems. All our teams play a set pattern. Our owners are not fucking drunken imbeciles who think ex players are the answer.
that’s a start anyway!

Iam sure the club haven’t thought about it for one minute and will just close their eyes and stick a pin in the out of work managers list when we need a new one.

One thread talking about him leaving is depressing enough never mind two!! :-(

 

[citymad]

Sorry Bb, absolutely no need for two threads on this depressing subject. We have enough of reading negative media there's no need for us to join in. Let's put this thread to bed early hey ?

Don't see any scenario where we turn into that shambles over the road because of the way the club is run. Pep has inspired a generation of coaches so in theory there should be options that could negate the loss of his brilliance. Ferguson, as good as he was, left no such legacy. His disciples generally end up doing media gigs inbetween jobs or end up on the after dinner circuit reminiscing.

Salford? There’s only one club in Salford and they’re called City.

United are from Trafford Park in Stretford in Trafford, not Salford.

dont fret lads
iv heard Ole is looking for work.

 

[Octavian]

Ferguson ran the entire club top to bottom, do you not think our leadership have a plan? How anyone can doubt them after 5 PL trophies, 2 FA Cups, about 3000 league cups, Pep Guardiola, the win at CAS and the facilities over the road in the academy… I’ll never fookin’ know.

Just like Pep is being inspired by Johan Cruyff, opening his mind and start pursuing manager/coaching seriously after his playing career.

Recently Kevin said on interview that he started pursuing coaching seriously after meeting and talk with Pep, i imagine many player like Kevin in City also being inspired by Pep after they meet and talking with him.

Kompany have done it, Kevin is following behind him and i suspect Fernandinho, Gundogan and probably more will going to be coaching career after their playing day is over.

This time unlike The Rags, many of our player have a solid idea of what an actual tactic and playstyle they will try to bring and teach in future. Ofc they need to prove themselves to be a good manager/coach outside a the Club with a good track record before the board even consider them on their list of the next Manchester City manager.

Ten Hag's contract is up the same time as Peps in 2023. Nagelsman is up in 2025. either of those would be pretty decent if Pep extends again or not.

The board have know since they came in what style they want and hired accordingly. We'll never take a turn where the squad has to be ripped up and started again.

 

[Bluekiwi]

His applications to First Bus, Stagecoach and National Express are pending.

Did Magic turn him down?

Ten Hag's contract expiring same time as Peps? The way we operate that can't be a coincidence, City wouldn't have to pay Ajax a penny for one of the most sought after manager's in Europe.
