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

[James2401125]

City in some form so let's allow the media to post something to cause infighting at the club. Wankers

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Enzo after a new contract from Chelsea, is he

 

[Gordyola]

From the article

“According to numerous well-placed sources outside the club — speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships — there is a growing anticipation of this being Guardiola’s last season at City. A firm decision will likely be made closer to the campaign finishing”

“In the meantime, City are advancing contingency planning for the possibility of that outcome materialising.”

No other candidates mentioned only other significant thing is Maresca has switched agents to Mendez

The rest is just conjecture and padding

Ornstein is well place with either Arsenal or Liverpool and does get reliable info. However is he being fed disinformation to destabilise City now we on the rise and have transfer targets in January that rivals might well be looking at, is it propaganda to destabilise and unsettle targets?

 

[Banano]

What's Ten Hag up to these days?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Pep ain’t leaving for another good few years. Another summer window and this squad will be ready to blow everyone away again.

 

[bluemc]

He's another volatile Italian whose mood seems to depend on what side of the bed he got out of. Don't need that at City

Why not? The last one worked out pretty well and changed the club from wannabes to winners.

 

[Nevizade]

How to tell we're firmly in the title race without looking at the league table.

 

[Gaz76]

Slow news day, suspect ornstein wrote this report in October and has gone on the piss with his mates for the day

I see what you're saying but the last volatile Italian gave me (eventually) one of the best days of my life :-)

According to sources "outside of the club" is vague enough to cover all bases. Stephen Warnock fits into that criteria FFS.

You'd think journos would try and get some kind of steer from INSIDE the club.

And look how it ended.. culminating in defeat by Wigan in a Cup Final

i like you're thinking what about wreck-it ralph

 

[mattcity5]

How odd that this comes out when we've won six on the run......

 

[bluemc]

Absolute shambles of a day on and off the pitch, but will never overshadow the 2011 cup win and 2012 title.

Just like Pep's tenure won't be defined by losing cup finals to the rags and Crystal Palace.

Anyway......Maresca. Doesn't exactly get the pulse racing. But in the event of Pep's departure, I'm not sure who does!

Ornstein broke the news of Haaland's mega long-term contract so I think he gets snippets from City too. That's not to say this particular story is true but he's one of the more reliable journos out there and for that reason alone I think it's a bit of a concern that he's reporting that this could be Pep's last season with us.

 

[SheeshKebab]

Please no.

I think there's only one suited to the job and its Vinny. Pay Bayern whatever they want.

 

[decmancity]

Most reliable reporter out there and it's met with suspicion on here because we are doing well.

Amazing how many people can function round here with the weight of their tin foil hats.

the thing that gives me pause is the vagueness of it, well placed sources outside the club who only spoke with the conditions of remaining anonymous to protect relationships say there is a growing feeling that this may be peps last season but no decision has been made.

Hes said a whole lot there while basically saying nothing.

 

[TinFoilHat]

He's just called his club a bunch of cunts in an interview then had to retract it.

It could well be his agent fishing for jobs next season.

Still recall Ornstein saying on a podcast 'my sources have told him this will be Pep's last season at City' a month later he signed a new contract. That was about 5 year ago.
