Arteta

[Tugay One Cup]

You sound more of a tit now with that response than your original nonsense - keep digging

Are you seriously claiming there are no egos in this squad? For starters, De Bruyne is renowned for being very opinionated and outspoken. That's not a criticism of him but he's far from the only ego in the squad and it's fair to ask whether or not Arteta has the man management skills to handle them.

Pochettino will be City's next manager.

United will make a big push if they have to bin Mister Tumnus, but next summer could be the time if Pep cleans up again.

I hope so, he'd be my first choice.

The most important thing is trying to get Pep to carry on until about 2023-24 for me.

I think someone has already mentioned it but it would be nice if Pep's time here mirrored the 8 years Cruyff was manager of Barcelona given the obvious comparisons.

I could definitely get behind Poch. Any groundwork been put into this?

If we could get the 5 year extension, That would be perfect.

Was Rodgers linked to City before.

I’ll be interested to see how Fonseca fares at Roma. His Shakhtar side always played attractive football when we met.

Inexperience. When pep goes all his backroom.staff will leave too. Arteta would be a huge gamble,one City will not take

You could argue Txiki gambled on Pep at Barca. Without question, he did so because he had seen enough to know Pep is something special. Txiki will have a view on Arteta, based on both his own observations and Pep's. If he thinks Arteta is good enough, he won't shy away from recommending him. Equally, if he thinks there is someone better available for the job, I trust he won't shy away from going down that route.

Whoever gets the job, they will be a step down from Pep but, hopefully not so much that we won't remain thoroughly entertained.

I think Rodgers will be on Txiki's watch list.

Obviously for the time being Pep is here to stay but when the time does come, do we feel Arteta would be a good option given his close work with Pep?

Nope! Don't want him. Once Pep his done here, if he is still here he should go too.

Then again I'm biased. I don't like him.
