Already history between Pep and the Guardian's Jamie Jackson. Although it's apparent that Pep's spoken English is better than Jackson's written English

That was very funny. Jackson was being rude, and got called on it.

As for comparing their English, not hard really.

Ha, the club have decided that our CL place is now at risk so they are loaning Pep to manage West Ham tomorrow and then he takes over for us at Swansea on Sunday!

That would just about sum up their planning of the last few months.

 

[Healdplace]

His contract begins July 1st.

I said that on the other thread - as it was what I had understood too - pointing out that it was good we now did not have to play a possible Europa qualifier in July days after he arrived.

That was what we had from the Cup win. But now guaranteed 5th = straight into groups in September - a big plus I thought given that start date.

But I was told on that thread that Pep takes over on JUNE 1st.

Not sure anybody knows for certain.

Is this right?

It's gonna take longer than that to get us playing how he likes. He's got to adjust to the Prem for a start. I'll certainly be giving him a years grace before I expect to seriously challenge for a trophy.

I think thats a valid viewpoint and an important point to make. We have a good team but its not a great team and its been chronically mismanaged. No magic wand is going to turn us in to cinderella overnight. Plus the Euros and copa america are a hinderance.

Exactly and that is one big plus of getting Europa instead of CL.

CL and we have to play a 2 leg qualifier in August right at the start of the season. As 4th is our best bet now presuming Arsenal do not lose to Villa at home (ha!)

Europa we go straight into the groups and Pep gets 4 or 5 free weeks with PL only to get something ticking.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

He's already being described by one hack as a "one trick pony" The vitriol from the media next year will go up a level imo.

By a one trick pony do they mean winning all the time, if so I like it

Is this right?

No mate, its a long standing forum joke.

 

[Maldeika]

I could imagine that he is in Manchester or that he is meeting with club officials today and/or tomorrow. The Bayern players are off for 3 days until Wednesday. Then the preparation for the last 2 Bayern matches follows. I think he wants to make the last match and Cup final against Dortmund something special.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Thought I was watching a pep style team quick, hungry, closing players down quickly just couldn't pass as good as a pep team!

 

[cibaman]

I read somewhere that, although he's contracted from 1 July, he's expected to start full time from 20 June (4 weeks after the end of the German season). Seems about right. No doubt he'll be in regular contact about transfers by phone and have the odd meeting, but he's better recharging his batteries than hanging about the Etihad.

 

[goatersnipple]

When ever he starts.
It's atleast 12 months too late

 

[citytill1die84]

When ever he starts.
It's atleast 36 months too late
