Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Don’t rule out that master tactician Tony Pullis

Poch is a **** and loves to hang his players out to dry - always blaming them. He can get fucked.

I like him,but he may be off to Madrid if them rumours on the spurs thread are to be believed,where’s my salt ..

It’ll be Arteta and it’ll be fucking glorious.

I’ll still cry when Pep goes. We’ll never be so blessed again.

Executives at Manchester City want to put a succession plan in place. Van Bronckhorst is being given an insight into how the club operates at boardroom level as well as the workings of City’s extensive scouting network and coaching set-up. [@MullockSMirror]

Lets hope he's not a scouse mole.

Seriously, I think he would be behind Arteta, but good that we are thinking ahead, and Pep could teach him a lot in the meantime.

Reading the article, it sounds more like it would be to replace txiki or Marwood than pep

Only if he’s Arteta’s number 2.

Meh.. I’d rather go for the likes of the Ajax coach or dare say it Pochettinho..

well, neither are going to take a backstage role are they. In addition, Pochettino at least has hardly demonstrated true top quality with his team stagnating and going backwards, and by the looks of what Van Bronckhorst is having access to, perhaps he's actually seen as a long-term successor to someone like Txiki instead. If he was purely on the managerial side, then surely he'd get more of a coaching role.

Sounds like a fairly flexible, informal arrangement rather than him being fast tracked as Guardiola’s successor.
