I think it is highly likely that Amorim will replace Pep pretty soon. All good things come to an end, the trick will be to make a new regime work.

Hugo Viana | Director of Football

Yes, but each club will be slightly different.I read an interesting article about being a sporting director at an elite club and apparently talent ID isn’t at the top of the list of what you need.
At a club like city the scouting network is so huge, all the scouts will be reporting and advising the sporting directors, makes sense really. I don’t think Txiki is watching hours of tape. He makes decisions based on advice from people that do. He’s a busy man
Far more important is negotiation skills, fostering relationships, protecting the clubs style of football and creating an environment in which the team thrives.
“Pep’s style will never work in England.”Remember they said kev was a 60m reject, lol, they never learn

Fulham was enough "chaos" for me thanks, a game we never got a grip of, and could easily have lost.It’s also Pep playing slow and patient build up. I don’t care but sometimes I also miss some chaos.
i understand the logic, but there seems to be this idea that pep cant work without txiki, he worked for 3 years at bayern without txiki to be fair, there is as much an argument that pep might relish the challenge of working with new people, collaborating with new ideas etc etc.I think it is highly likely that Amorim will replace Pep pretty soon.

This.It's the teams we play, not Pep, the 10 man block is not easy (or exciting) to beat, but more often than not we do.
And other teams obsession with passing the ball in their own half. Very difficult to get the ball off them but they aren’t dangerous having any shots with it. Eg. Fulham. All their chances came on counter attacks. Made nothing from their keep ball.

Agree but obviously at some point in the not too distant future he will leave. Amorim must be the favourite to take over at that point. Whether that happens remains to be seen.
oh certainly, i agree with that and think he will leave in the near future but wouldnt say amorim is necessarily favourite tbf, city do tend to go completely left field with signings of players and managers, i think when we heard txiki was leaving most peoples thoughts didnt turn to vianaAgree but obviously at some point in the not too distant future he will leave.

Shame really as that leaves Alonso available for the rags & I thought he might be our next signingoh certainly, i agree with that and think he will leave in the near future but wouldnt say amorim is necessarily favourite tbf, city do tend to go completely left field with signings of players and managers, i think when we heard txiki was leaving most peoples thoughts didnt turn to viana

Yes of course that is possible too. But City will know more than any other club that having a manager that has a rock solid relationship with the Dof is critical.

I doubt Alonso would want the Unitied job.....Shame really as that leaves Alonso available for the rags & I thought he might be our next signing
i think its ancelottis last year at madrid and thats where alonso is off too.I doubt Alonso would want the Unitied job.....
Absolutely but what’s stopping any other manager having a good relationship with him? I think we’ve had something amazing and people think we will try and recreate it. But we have shown with certain players over the years we do re create we evolve.I'm sure we will look elsewhere but the relationship between the manager and DOF is fundamental and that gives Amorim a huge tick in the box.

Viana will be desperate to work with Pep imo, who wouldn’t?
So Txiki will still be around for another 14 months or thereabouts. Not too bad that.

End of this season (after the world club thing) so July.

Wow this Rubén Amorim is young, only turning 40 next year. Well young because he is only a few months older than me and I don't consider myself old yet. If he does sign he could be here 20 years easily if he is any good.
