Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the club

[GStar]

I actually think Pep is a good Manager - but when I said around 20 pages back in this thread about how he has only managed at one Club and I would be concerned if he got our Managers position I was accused of making a "Lazy" post.

Ha, i actually think the championing of Gaurdiola itself is lazy, i think the recent managers, such as Rijkaard and Vitanova prove that poor managers can make that team not only look god but win silverware too.

The fact Guardiola left them without anything isn't great, the fact he's only ever held one senior management position is worrying and the fact its Barcelona even more so.

If I owned the club, I would not take the risk

Prepared to put decent money on whoever next manages us and I hope its sometime before that happens for obvious reasons it won't be either Jose or Pep.

Strong mail in Spain today from reliable sources that Pep has been offered and accepted the Chelsea post for next season.

Really doubt it will be either Pep or Jose at City next season even if RM leaves us at the end of this season.

so you'd take experience but lack of anything of note in Europe despite numerous attempts against inexperience but proven silverware both domestically and in European football?

End of the day Txiki and Ferran know Guardiola inside out, you don't, so from your perspective taking what you see as the safe bet may not actually in the bigger picture be the best move.

He's earnt himself the reputation that means that someone somewhere will take the gamble, if not us then probably Chelsea.

Agree about Pep, can't see the attraction. The new guy has taken the same players and done far better so far in the Spanish league than Pep did...to date anyway. Smacks of AVB at Porto if you ask me.

1st part: He never said that, you can have experience and success in europe. Guardiola doesn't have both. Others do.

2nd: Moot point, Ducado like you or me can only give an opinion from our own perspective.

3rd: Disagree, he's had that reputation given to him, if not thrust upon him, he certainly hasn't 'earnt it' imo.
