Guardiola: “If the club wants me, I want to stay here”

[Heath Park]

Give him a sabbatical. He can't be permitted to actually leave ... leave.

Kind of like "The Firm" then.
Is Pep Tom Cruise?

 

[Heath Park]

we could have had the quad! losing to Southampton was a shock in the carabao I'm sure pep and the boys were kicking themselves that night that's our trophy and always the one to win early doors .
Let's see what happens .this season eh

Ironically it probably helped focus their minds and helped us win the treble...

 

[Heath Park]

Correct. He's the obvious emotional choice; I get that. And he's worked wonders at Burnley. But he'd need two very impressive seasons in the time that we have Pep for, to be even considered for the gig. Maybe a mid table finish next season, and a push for a ECL spot in 24/25. Managing City would be an enormous step up for him. Would the club "risk" such a move?

No.

I always said that the fella who took over from Ferguson couldn't win. Whatever he won, it'd be a case of "well, Ferguson won (insert number here) of them". Pep's successor will face the same thing. It's inevitable that comparisons are made between who went before and the incumbent.

True but Pep took over from Pellers who’s won the title and he’d took over from Mancini who’d won the title. Ferguson won the first title in decades for those cunts and then fuck all since.

We’re just so much better run regardless of who’s the manager.

I agree it’ll be nigh on impossible to match Pep but we won’t slump like those fuckers.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Yep. It's nigh on impossible to even match Pep's achievements, never mind better them.

I’d settle right now for matching them.

We are achieving remarkable things.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I hope so. Who the bucking hell succeeds him? De Zerbi? Feck knows. Dreading him leaving.

Vinnie of course…! Nothing more certain ..

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Currently Pep seems comfortable with his domestic arrangements,he likes Manchester and loves City.

I thinks he’s less interested in the rag/dipper records than he is in fighting the daily onslaught from the media and authorities with bias,lies and racism.

He fighting a battle for the owner,club,colleagues,players,fans and himself.

He’s a law abiding, anti authoritarian fighter for the underdog, a rebel for his causes and beliefs.....and City are his cause and his belief.

The rag/dipper records will fall as a consequence and will be a bonus to him.

Viva la Pepito !!

I think it will be someone within the CFG group or who is close to the club
Interesting to see who the new assistant will be.
Supposedly Des Buckingham is coming in as assistant in 2024 and if that is the case he will succeed Pep.
Very well thought of within the group and has bought into the CFG philosophy.
If not, Kompany looks the next option, if he's prepared to take on the challenge.

 

[ErlingBellaand]

I'm pretty sure that because of the CFG connections, the next in line will be Poctecoglou. Expect him to do well at Tottenham and then succeed Pep at City.

The same brand of football, the same philosophy. Pep that's also spoken highly of him.

 

[Keeper!]

Vinnie of course…! Nothing more certain ..

Just take a deep breath first, let's see how Burnley do this season, getting out of the Championship however impressive and managing in the PL are two very different things.

Whoever takes over from Pep has an almost impossible task, for me there will be a drop off, we at this time have the finest manager of his generation at the top of his game.
