The factors behind his demise are less about who picked him, and more about who he had to work for and with. I.e. the sporting structure was increasingly boollocks.never forget Alex Ferguson picked his successor... that didnt go well
I can’t believe people genuinely think that maresca is the one behind the leaks and is trying to force pep out.
Some of you are completely mad
If the new boss is Maresca, he won’t be trying more adventurous football. He would be defensive, possession based. Plenty of slow build up with sideways passing. Ugh!Two trophies is a brilliant return, and I've really enjoyed this season - but we shouldn't get too carried away.
I think that we beat 11 sides in total to win those cups - including Huddersfield, Swansea, Watford, Exeter, Salford and Southampton. So effectively we came through five tough ties to win two pieces of silverware. Looking at it that way, it's surprising that it isn't done more often. I'm not belittling the achievement, these are the facts.
Liverpool have been useless and this forum would have you believe that arsenal are the poorest champions for years - yet we still didn't win the league. If arsenal can be considered genuinely crap, despite winning it, then it must be possible that our coming second also papers over some cracks?
Apart from the short run from the Carabao final onwards, ending with beating Arsenal at home, there was only the odd game where we really looked the part. Posters called Anfield and the Bernebeu 'statement' wins when they were anything but. Terrific results, definitely, but not particularly outstanding performances, either of them.
If Pep does go and the new boss should try more adventurous football, we shouldn't forget that we've been punching above our weight this year when inevitably comparing any drop-off in performance by looking back at this year through rose-tinted spectacles.

Ah so nothing new then, whats everyone worried about ;)If the new boss is Maresca, he won’t be trying more adventurous football. He would be defensive, possession based. Plenty of slow build up with sideways passing. Ugh!
Or the fact Ornstein tries to back up his “exclusive “ on pep is leaving during the first half of Arsenal v Burnley just after Arsenal went 1 up with “Maresca is already targeting players “ for City this summer bullshit .I can’t believe people genuinely think that maresca is the one behind the leaks and is trying to force pep out.

How could we possibly have faith, the current ownership have only precided over one of the most successful decades of football and financials that english football has ever seen while delivering on every promise theyve made, it is entirely inconceivable that they might know what theyre doing and we should all believe that a muppet from sky or the daily fail or dave from stockport. Who plays championship manager clearly knows better.If people on this forum know it is Maresca, then I'm pretty sure Khaldoon would too, and the job offer would be swiftly withdrawn. It's a load of bollocks.
It does concern me how many people are on Maresca's back already, just because he isn't the 'Big Name' some would have hoped for. He hasn't even been confirmed as the manager yet and they're writing him off.
I can't remember many times the club have got it wrong since 2008! Have some faith that they know what they are doing!

To be fair thats a double edged sword because if he smashes it in 3 years we wont need to change it.Totally agree with this, but it would be naive to think he won’t get much time, if things go wrong, with the fan base. Plus Mancini and Pellegrini appointments did split the fan base, despite being good appointments. That being said we all need to get fully behind him for three years, and then see who the ultimate manager they have their eyes on will be.
What specifically do you mean by tourist chasing?For all the good Soriano did in his early days at City, I cannot wait for him to fuck off. He is behind the tourist chasing. Did it at Barcelona and decimated their local, match going support and he’s doing it here too.

Obnoxious rag **** Oliver Holt gone very quiet aswell .Or the fact Ornstein tries to back up his “exclusive “ on pep is leaving during the first half of Arsenal v Burnley just after Arsenal went 1 up with “Maresca is already targeting players “ for City this summer bullshit .
Just utter misinformation bullshit .
Only Pep has THE NARRATIVE and he isn’t committing either way
So the whole situation as been hijacked by the MEDIA at the expense of MCFC
It was big news at the time. Don't need either of their autobiographies to know about it (I haven't read either of them and don't want to.)It was Beckhams actually!!
( I was staying with a Rag relative nothing else to read). I actually wanted to see what Beckham said about 1) the boot throwing incident 2) Rebecca Loos. I recall feck all of what shite was spouted but I recall the GPC supposed retirement- I wish to feck he had gone that season. The cnut did another decade.
The second one was well publicised, so I'd say the first one is the most unbelievable.I'm trying to work out which one of these posts is the most unbelievable.
It is probably more nuanced than that. You can’t blame his agent for promoting his client. Im sure no one is forcing Pep out. It is Pep’s decision to make and his alone.I can’t believe people genuinely think that maresca is the one behind the leaks and is trying to force pep out.
