Discussion: Potential Pellegrini Replacements {merged}

[NQCitizen]

Not a huge Guardiola fan and reading this underlines why I am concerned that his reputation has been built on 3 once in a lifetime players.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3041510/Is-Pep-Guardiola-right-man-lead-Manchester-City-bright-new-future-Bayern-Munich-manager-remains-choice-replace-Manuel-Pellegrini.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... grini.html</a>

The more I think about it the more I think Pep is in danger of being the legendary manager of Barcelona to an ultimately disappointing manager of Bayern Munich.

The way he cheered against us, the way he reacts to the slightest mistake from any player and now he treated that doctor makes me wary of Pep.

Plus it's not often mentioned how little time he's spent at these clubs and it's not necessarily guaranteed he's any less divisive than the likes of Mancini.

I think Mancini fell out with medical staff at City too

We could do with a manager who makes huge demands on those around him though. Obviously there's a balance.

It'd be interesting to see what some of Mancini's harshest critics make of it (without any dig - I'd be interested to hear Mister Appointment's take, genuinely)

Even Mancini never really came close to publicly humiliating a staff member who'd been there 40 years. Was good enough to win a CL right before Peps arrival. Now the whole medical team has resigned which is a bit unprecedented and surely is a pretty monumental catastrophe created by Pep.

If it comes down to Klopp or Pep, who would you choose? I'm not really sure about either tbh.

I'm fine with either or Ancelotti if it comes down to a decision.

They all have their own style, skills and risks.

Would you consider someone like De Boer or Koeman?

I have a feeling Klopp will end up at Real if Ancelotti leaves this Summer which makes him available for us. Pep will probably take another sabbatical if he leaves and wait for the next upcoming team to just take over.

Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt has been at Bayern since 1977. Treats SuperStars from all sports. For him to leave this way: BIG NEWS...

I reckon Pep might call it a day if Bayern get knocked out of the CL next week, tensions seem high.

I reckon if it happens Txiki will be on the phone to him at an instant and emailing him a contract over.

I'm unconvinced this week's events didn't affect his performance. I'm pretty sure he always saw England as his next move after Bayern and ourselves as a surefire option when his contract expired in 2016; now with the emergence of Klopp on the market he's having to consider whether to make some sort of commitment to ourselves now or we'll hire Klopp in his place. Klopp has taken his cards completely away from him.

Klopp, and not because of the the talk the last few pages I just think Klopp would be a better fit to the league and the club, also I don't think Pep is one for long term appointments probably 3 years and a new challenge. I think I am swayed because Dortmund have been the best team I have seen play us at eastlands

I don't think Pep would be that bothered if he got the City job or not, it's well documented he wants to manage so called elite clubs and even if he does leave Bayern this summer Txiki is going to have to do some persuading to convince him the City job is right for him next considering the overhaul and rebuild which has to take FFP into account and the shipping out of ageing players on big money contracts.

They are decent league managers sort of like Mancini was but I hope we're looking for a top manager who can attract top players to make us succeed in Europe. They wouldn't be my first choice.

Between the two you mentioned Pep would have his philosophy and stick to it. He'd want big names in and could rebuild a squad and smack Mou around again. On the other hand who knows how long he'd stay before he moves on again?

Klopp would bring some energy to the fans and players - he's got crazy passion and is liked by the media too.

I'd think he'd want to stick around and bring in some of the young talents from the academy. This season Dortmund hasn't been great defensively and he's been criticized a lot for it, that's where there's a bit of worry with him.

The way he enjoyed watching us lose I doubt his heart fell when he heard Klopp was resigning.
