Another Guardiola Rumour - The Sun.

[woahmark]

I have never been his number one fan but every time I start to doubt Mancini again he comes back and delivers.

5th, 3rd plus FA cup, 1st, 1st or 2nd this season with FA cup still to play for.

It's not really the end of the world where we are is it!

Europe disappointing but I think another go for Mancini next season and judge then.

Yeah, I think so too. If you look at his recent finishes like you've pointed out, he's been very solid domestically. The Champions League results were unexpected, but if you look at the calibre of the group, can't complain. Underestimated Ajax too, in my opinion. It takes time to get the squad used to Europe :)

Being a Barca fan though, I would have loved to see Pep come, he can really integrate youth players very well and obviously he is experienced in the CL. People can say what they can about him being unproven but as a manager I rate him very highly.

They can easily spin it as Pep rejecting City at the last minute to go with Bayern probably with some bollocks about uncertainty over the ownership model with FFP or whatever. Certainly Bayern will give it the big one as to how they fought off the Sheikh's and the Russian oligarch's to land Pep and how this is a triumph for their way of doing business etc etc.

Pep to Bayern had been gathering momentum for the past 3 days although the English media seem somewhat surprised if Twitter is anything to go by which makes you wonder if they do their job in a fucking vacuum.

No doubt we will have the 'Jose to City Part XXI' in the media (and on here) until he turns up at PSG but for the love of god can we at least bear in mind that the board gave Mancini a 5 year contract in the summer and they are not the sort of people to be handing these things out lightly despite what some people may think or hope. So barring a 10 game losing streak or half the players quitting in open revolt Mancini will be the manager for next season (and the foreseeable future) irrespective of whether we win something or not this season.

In short the whole Mancini/Mourinho/Pep/whoever debate has become a huge fucking bore. I get that some don't like or rate Mancini. Fine. Have a moan every now and then by all means but not every fucking day with the same fucking tiresome bollocks.

If he wins nowt hes gone imo especially if Jose is available. Plus if you don't want to read peoples opinions on Mancini/Pep/Mourinho why go on this thread?

Oh I don't know. Some perverse fascination on my part or perhaps to see if anyone has got anything fresh or new or enlightening to say on Mancini/Mourinho/Pep or whoever...

...and guess what. In 3 fucking years the argument has moved not an inch. The only change is the introduction of a new name like Pep or going forward someone like Klopp - although why we want a character from 'Allo, 'Allo is beyond me - but the argument itself hasn't changed even if the parameters have i.e. 'we will never win a big game with Mancini' to 'we will never win a trophy with Mancini' followed by 'we will never win the league with Mancini' and finally the last roll of the dice 'we will never win the CL with Mancini'...

And then we have my personal faves who after a conversation with Wimbly the fucking cat or whatever his fucking name is, pronounce with absolute certainty that we will see a new man in the summer. Nailed on. Mancini is toast. Deep pussy has given me the nod so pass the fucking bunting and get the punch bowl out...I mean okay law of fucking averages says that they are going to be right one day but so far the fucking Mayans have got more right then the Mancini out crowd.

So forgive me if I am a teensy bit bored with endless threads on Mancini's future every time we draw a game and endless debate on the merits or otherwise of Mourinho over Mancini where to be honest I have seen more cogent arguments on a Blur/Oasis thread on a teen girl forum..oh and FYI my user name is Jasmine so come and say hi sweet cheeks...

..christ showing my age on the Blur/Oasis line there

I agree with every word !

You do love a big post don't you :)

At the end of the day its not like any of these threads will make a difference if people want to talk about the manager let them I don't see the big problem just ignore the thread if your sick of it.

Just passing on the latest gossip.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...s-Man-Utd-Chelsea-AC-and-Bayern-for-City.html

PEP GUARDIOLA will decide to become Manchester City manager in the summer.
Guardiola has opted for City as he is convinced they can become a force to rival his former club Barcelona.
The hottest property in world football will snub interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and AC Milan to replace Roberto Mancini at Eastlands at the end of the season.
Only last week Guardiola confirmed he is ready to return to coaching this summer after a year-long sabbatical, although he was coy about where.
He said: “I will return next season but it would show a lack of respect to talk about any team that has a coach.”
However, last night a top source in Spanish football revealed: “It is 100 per cent certain that Guardiola is going to City this summer.
“And when I say 100 per cent I don’t mean 99 per cent, I mean 100 per cent!”
Mancini appears doomed after two failed Champions League campaigns.
Guardiola will be the highest-paid boss in Britain on £10m a year AFTER tax.

I would just love to throw this crap back at the Sun/Beasley and All the other media shite that try constantly to undermine our progress.

anyone could be sad for it but perhaps its time to start to think that Mansour was Not joking when he gave a 5 years contract to Mancini

As do I - though it helps when you agree with what he has to say.
Personally I'm made up that Pep has put this to bed as I'm under no illusion that had this news not come out today (or very soon) the rest of the season would have been story after story (no sources of course) belittling Mancini and undermining what he has achieved for us in his short tenure by advocating Pep (or Mourinho) for our hot seat. This would mostly be done on the eve or morning of a game and IMO done to cause the most unrest.
Mancini has more than earned the right to be our unequivocal number 1 for this and next season at least, and though people do have the right to their opinion and this is a forum etc etc, you have to wonder when some fans are so eager to want rid. Pointing out his errors yes, but the personal attacks and opinion based on heresay but passed on as fact is bizarre to say the least.
Anyway, onwards and upwards for the good ship City - it's been a pretty good week so far.. :-)

Haha, love it. Beasley could get chop for this one!

Hopefully, someone set him up deliberately by feeding him the 'exclusive'... congrats to them if they did.
