Would rather someone with greater connection to the club

Fernandhino

Isn't he still playing? Does he even want to get into coaching?

Fernandhino

The same one who is literally still playing at the top level in Brazil?

Still playing in Brazil

Worth a shout though

Haha at least as a 44 year old player he’d have no real purpose or responsibility. He could just sit in the stands doing nothing. I’d actually prefer that to him being responsible for aspects of our play and offering advice to Pep.

But if it were to happen surely it means Pep has a high opinion of him but also the club probably do from his 1yr & New York. They clearly know what he is like and may have a great mind but lacking in certain managerial traits so assistant would be a good move for him.

I was actually scrolling through YouTube recently and came a across a really causal interview which he says he got some great support from pep. Once receiving a message saying how impressed he was with him.

Better option than someone who loves Chelsea

I like Frank. Always come across as a decent bloke but clearly wasn’t ready for top level management.
If Pep thinks he can bring something to the table then I’m happy to go with it.
Would be a fantastic move for him and will take a bit of heat off him whilst he tries to rebuild his reputation.

What was Peps connection before turning up at City? A failed trial so ended up in Mexico.

Obviously Frank is no Pep but seen as a good fit no reason he needs a connection.

Although he did play for us for a year and was in New York.

A better option is to go and force Fernandinho into retirement so he can become an assistant coach. Right.

Too bad Pep maybe likes Lampard and if he wants him as his assisstant manager then there's little that us fans can do about it.

The reason he'll be an assistant and not our manager

The reason he'll be an assistant is because he's been shite? I'd hope that being shite would preclude from either role
