Is Pep the greatest?

[Gordyola]

Yes

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Averages one trophy every 23 games. Unbelievable

Mendy laughs at that average.

Yes he is but would he do it without the financial backing? Much as I love him his first season here he seemed to almost not be arsed when it was apparent we didn't have the players he wanted and allowed us to put in some really poor performances with seemingly no plan b for what he had available.

I will say again , yes he is overall.

 

[purplenose]

Personally, I'd like it if he returned to his slick suits on the touchline but would appear he's trying to look more down to earth in that stupid grey jumper

How dare you show such disrespect to Peps nice warm cardigan, what without that and Gareths waistcoat we would still be in the dark ages of Tony Pulis baseball cap.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Bob Paisley was good very good in fact, I think he just edges Pep for me.

How? Genuine question, I don't know much about him.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

YES

 

[Indaparkside]

Yes as a manager/ coach!! But mancini delivered on his promise I’ll tear that banner down?? Stood up to fergie!! And restored the pride and silverware to Manchester City will always love him

I used to wear a New York sweatshirt for years until my wife decided to donate it to a shelter without informing me - I wish Cristina, who is a fashionista, would do the same with that jumper of his

 

[Saddleworth2]

No. There are plenty of managers could do the same with the money spent. Just imagine what Klopp would do with this group of players....

Good one :-)
Beam at them and say boom a lot.

Agree. It’s even gone bobbly. He probably got it at C&A.

Yeah, looks like one of Matalans finest if I'm being honest. ;-)

 

[Keeper!]

Were incredibly lucky to have this guy at the very peak of his powers, and after watching him celebrate on the pitch on Sunday, I think he will be around for a lot longer than people think!

He needs to win the Champions League with City. Forget the board, from Ballague's article it appears Khaldoon was very much level headed in saying that we could never control everything and that we should focus on domestic dominance and records instead. Pep meanwhile was almost inconsolable.

He wants the CL. He is a Barcelona fan and knowing many from Barcelona they put the CL above all else because they have had Real Madrid throw it in their faces time after time. I believe he carries that with him. He wants to win everything but it is the biggest trophy for him.

And he failed to win it with Bayern and so far hasn't managed it at City. We will go big this summer to get the players in to make sure we can win it mext season. If we achieves that with City then he is without doubt the best. Forget longevity and Ferguson. It is a different era and what Pep does in terms of footballing style, mentality and records in unrivalled.

Would Paisley have been as successful at two other clubs in two other countries?
Better than GPC but not Pep.

I wish to announce I have just got my Christmas Card List out of the drawer of my kitchen table and am CROSSING OFF all the names of those Bluemooners who have slagged off our Blessed Leader's (and best manager ever) fabulous, distinctive, practical, stylish, knitted overjumper with hoody.

Is he fuck, he's just a bald fraud.

 

[Claytop]

Anyone done the ultimate Guardiola XI from the BBC Site, it's tough!

 

[northwichblue]

Best ever, noone can touch him

Got to be displayed in the City Museum so we can gaze upon it

 

[Metalartin]

I think he is. All I know for sure, is that we are incredibly lucky to have him at City.

I can only hope the level of bias he has seen that the club and fans have to deal with, for daring to challenge the establishment, makes him stay even longer to fight our cause.

I did say Paisley just edges Pep because he won one more European cup thats all, everything else is practically identical. We will never know whether Paisley would have done it with 2 other clubs abroad, i think he may have come unstuck.

Look i hate the dippers as much as any other blue, but whilst growing up in the 70s i had great admiration for the way Bob Paisley did things as a manager, the respect he showed the opposition, just like Pep.
