Enzo Maresca "high among candidates" to replace Guardiola if he leaves next summer

I watched the presser. I'm not going to read into it too much.

I don't think he's close to leaving though and his comment about the potential of the team sort of confirms my belief.

I'll be happy when I see an extension.

There is a part one and part two. Part two is emphatic.
 
It's very clever from pep and city. Create that narrative every couple of years, get the players to fight for the manager and each other, performances rise, pep stays, repeat.

When pep goes he will go with every city fans true blessing, and there will be a lot of guys apparently chopping onions that week around Manchester. But I also have confidence that this club knows what it's doing and can operate without being reliant on just one person, as important as he is in our history, persona and performances.

When slurgie left the scumbags, it was clear he left a team that he'd got to over perform. He didn't have mostly world class players, despite what their fans and pundits would have you believe, as evidenced by the fact that the majority of them won bugger all after that in their careers. In fact he handicapped them by going all out for van persie and put his personal record above the club to go out with one last hurrah. Neither situation is true, or would be allowed to happen, with us.

I can genuinely see pep here in ten years, if he wants it and if the club still want him, right down to the players and fans. He's not the same manager that rocked up here at all, I don't even particularly think he will do club management again after us. No way did he expect a pokey little upstart club from Manchester to push it's way into his heart alongside Barca, but it happened.

To 2038 would see him being the premier league longest serving manager, and 13 more seasons to get the 7 or 8 more titles needed to forever dismiss any other suggestions of anyone else being the best ever premier league manager. Maybe pie in the sky, but it's not actually that long.

1) Think of a reasonably successful manager in one of the top European leagues.
2) Type his name followed by a space.
3) Type: is favourite to replace Guardiola according to sources.
4) Job done.
5) Get paid by click-bait hungry broadcaster or publisher.

There's almost as much utter shite written about Pep's successor as there is about the 115 charges.
 
A huge rousing 10 minutes of "we've got Guardiola" would be fab to hear at the game today. Make it happen blues :-)
 
This is strange story. It hit all the back pages at the same time, suggesting, to me anyway, that it was deliberately placed or leaked. If I had to guess I’d say that this is much more about Maresca than Pep. I think he is trying to extend his influence at Chelsea and secure his position.
 
I can't but help feeling that whoever takes over from Pep will not be a 'replacement' by some distance. We will quickly find that we had the very best manager and whoever follows will be second best... I imagine we will be somewhat underwhelmed whoever it is.

Yep Kompany for me too! his all around management managing plus he can speak 5/6 languages which is important to get you tactics across and I believe he has that sleep eat football 24/7 always thinking about tactics systems..

Let him prove himself a few years. Winning Bundesliga with Bayern doesn´t make you a great coach yet.

What has Maresco won?

Burnley smashed the Championship with Championship level players playing Pep style football, so I have no doubt he can do the job with the quality of players we have.

Vinnie’s teams always play exciting football, and he has proved himself more than Pep had when he took over Barca.

We know his leadership qualities and he loves this place.
