Pep to leave at the end of the season

[KS55]

Not sure that would work in the PL anymore!

Bring back the WM formation.

The ‘Give it some welly’ formation.

The ‘Give it some welly’ formation.

With a little more finesse, I hope.

A more balanced 5-5 system where one player can be added to either defence or attack dependent on the game situation.

The 226 worked amazingly until teams got better at the low block and counter attacks.

The problem we have is no one is as good as pep he's a one off the next guy is going to be in a difficult position from day one all the focus will be on him, unfortunately it will be a similar situation to when the old **** left the rags whoever it is he will need to start winning very quickly.

Difference is is that Pep won’t be in the directors box for every game and we have a director of football.

Viana will be the key. Recruiting the right players that complement the next managers’ style.

It will be the hardest job in the world following the bauld one.

What do you mean by “the entire new Bayern project”

Vinny and Max Eberl the sporting director are trying to make Bayern more youth focused, possession based philosophy.

Max Eberl basically put his job on the line to get Kompany in as the other higher ups didn’t want Kompany after his Burnley stint

Max Eberl wanted to build Bayern around a young manager with potential and young players so the new project and new look Bayern is built around Kompany, his tactics and philosophy.

Max Eberl would’ve been sacked with Kompany if it didn’t work out.

If City decide we want Kompany and are willing to pay the compensation fee, and Kompany decides he wants to leave Bayern for us.

The entire Bayern project crumbles and they would be in serious trouble, it’s why they offered Kompany a new contract.

Maresca wouldn’t be my No.1 choice. Would much prefer Vinny.

 

[Sibierskii]

Enzo Maresca lol. Dark days ahead.

 

[Ban-jani]

Enzo Maresca lol. Dark days ahead.

He’s a good manager, although my Chelsea supporting colleague is happier with the football played under Rosenior, which is a concern.

 

[Semper aggressus]

If we can spend £100m or so on a new player, we’d do much better if we just offered that much to Pep, tax free, to stay another three or four seasons.

 

[1961_vintage]

What substances must he have imbibed during this party at which he was "high among candidates"?

I think pep should stay one more season and complete this build up before handing it over to next manager

No reason to think he won't.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

No reason to think he won't.

Unfortunately there is obviously a reason and we all know what it is. Its the exact reason they making the contingency plan with Maresca and others for - verdict on charges. If its going the wrong way and punishment is going the wrong way (like lets say relegation or -20 points for 3 seasons etc.), then Pep is arguably and understandably gone.

So - no reason to think he won't

Yes we can all invent reasons why he might not, but there isn't a reason to think he won't be here next season.

Definitely wouldn't be against Enzo getting the seat after pep, clubs in nowadays are built on structure behind the scenes, especially ours, our rivals seem to think we will fall to bits when pep finishes, a bit like the rags did, difference being we are not run from top to bottom by pep.

Enzo knows the club well and wouldn't want to make wholesale changes like another manager could,

 

[MCFC !]

NO, NO AND NO! THE BEST COACH FOR THE TEAM WILL BE ILKAY GÜNDOGAN WITH ASSISTANTS KEVIN DE BRUYNE AND SERGIO AGÜERO... OUR PLAYERS NEED TO LEARN FROM THE BEST MASTERS OF FOOTBALL AND THIS 3 GUYS WERE THE TOP ON THEIR PLAYING POSITIONS... HOPEFULLY ONE DAY....

 

[citytill1die84]

Have to trust the hierarchy on this one.

He's not my choice but neither were Mancini or Pellegrini and they more than ok.

 

[lee one pen]

One day but IMHO he's not a City-calibre manager yet. His tactics were very naive against us at the Emirates. Unless he comes in for a year under Pep to hone his tactical nous a bit.

Winning the Bundesliga when you are by far the best team isn't the same as winning niggly games at Newcastle etc.

It's got to be Luis Enrique for me.

It all depends on the personnel mate.
He’s proving to be a top coach.
He did an unbelievable job with Burnley when they got promoted, and he looks the part, with bigger and better players at Bayern.
I would love to see him replace Pep whenever that time comes.
