Yes football is full of surprises but I believe our Board is not stupid. There is no way supporters would accept either of Arteta or Klopp as a Manager. Whatever one's personal view of Arteta he both bends the rules of the game and is anti-football. Our Board are very image conscious and our fans would not tolerate his style of play. Klopp is a different case. Whilst more image friendly than Arteta at the age of 59 he's hardly a forward, long-term appointment. They would want somebody who is going to be around for a considerable period of time and at his age that's highly unlikely

I thought Pep’s successor was already sorted. Hasn’t Neil Warnock already been seen many times with Pep and at the Etihad training camps? He’s only 77 so has got a few years left in him yet (as many FOCs on here will testify).
We’re also apparently interested in Anthony Kayode. Him and Semenyo launching long throws into the mixer would be right up Warnock’s street. Even better, Rudiger’s available from our mates at Real Madrid for a knock-down price to sort our centre half problems.
We might have to sign a snidey, diving cheat to go full anti-football though. Unfortunately Salah will cost too much in wages and Arsenal are unlikely to sell Saka to a potential rival. We could always hire Arteta to give Bernardo some advanced lessons as according to the matchday thread, he could do with a rest most games. A few minutes rolling about on the floor might do the trick.

However, Warwick would have to lose the hair though as he’d tarnish Pep’s legacy.

Yeah but the facts are martinelli was trying to push a player off the pitch who had never left it? You do see that yeah?

Liverpool player goes down ON the pitch with a serious knee injury. Arsenal player attempts to push him OFF the pitch.

It’s not rocket science pal

Strange things happen mate!
Arteta has gained top level experience at Arsenal, and has a very good performance record - second only to Pep since he went there.
While most of us think he's a twat, the same has been thought about every other top coach who has battled for the PL against us; GPC, Klopp, Mourinho, Slot...
When it comes to replacing Pep, second best will be as good as it gets, and the board will most likely prioritise PL and CL experience. The thought of Arteta having 'engineered' a move from City won't bother the board at all - it demonstrates ambition and self-belief, both positive attributes.
Personally, I think that the board will already have three names pencilled on their 'possible' list... Enrique, Arteta, and Klopp.
Like it or not, if we want continued success, those three names will be considered.

I still doubt that the hierarchy would want to see City playing Lego head's anit-football for three years or more.

We receive enough stick from the media now; can you imagine what it would be like, if we tried the shit that cheating Arsenal pull?

And I don’t think Arteta has it in to change his style.

I, for one, would be very disappointed, if he ever becomes head coach at Manchester City.

There’s a bloke, currently employed in Bavaria, who’s not doing too badly. He has age on his side, too, as well as connections to the Greater Manchester area.

Admittedly, he is still relatively inexperienced as a head coach, but the signs are encouraging.

The only thing I am worried about is we have the hardest away fixtures left we have to go to anfield, old toilet, stamford bridge, tottenham. I think Arsenal only have us and tottenham left.

From what I can pick up on, as I don't watch title rivals much these days, I don't fear City going to any of those grounds with their teams...maybe The Bridge,maybe.

I wonder who they will target when we meet at the Etihad especially if have eaten into their points lead.

All the team. They really are a set of thoroughly dislikeable individuals with the pack leaders being Martinelli, Gabriel and the oh so humble Lewis Smelly.

The apology as such was written by their pr team.

We came away with a point from cheating Arsenal, and really should have had all three.

It’s a shame either John or Nathan didn’t stay back to help out Gigi.
