Or maybe hes just doing what hes always done?
Torrent left and Arteta got promoted.
Arteta leaves and Borrell gets promoted.
Why do you think Pep has the time to go sound out new people to come in to the team mid season?
People like Xavi, Kompany etc. Might become available at the end of the season, but very few people youd want are just sitting around waiting for a call mid season.
I'd actually prefer Roger's as I think he'd be a better fit.Yep. City don't really have a firm succession plan in place, by that I mean, Pep can obviously stay for as long as he wants, as far as Khaldoon is concerned.
However, they really do like Pochettino, who knows this also. It would not surprise me if City have paid him a significant retainer sum to not commit to another job until next summer.
It is becoming more and more common place. United paid Mourinho £4m to wait it out until they could sack van Gaal at the end of that season.
Nice money, as he could keep it if United went elsewhere or kept Van Gaal.
My own view is that many have fallen into the thinking that it has to be someone who will essentially be a carbon copy of Guardiola's vision for football?
I don't see it that way. Pep is a one-off for a reason. We have to think about who can continue to give us success, coupled with a decent tactical set-up.
Pochettino and Rodgers are the only two managers I would trust at this present time.
Pep is my guy, love him to bits, we will never see his like again. We must avoid the trap United and Arsenal allowed to happen, however, letting two men become bigger than their actual club, regardless of their fans claiming otherwise.
Bit surprised that David Silva is not being mentioned at least

I always used to hope it would affect United when the likes of Kidd, McLaren and Queiroz left but it never seemed to have much impact on them. Hopefully it'll be the same with Guardiola. Didn't really seem to be a problem when Torrent left, so the signs are good.Is the job of number 2 being a bit over hyped, is the person really that important, when we have pep.

Why? Has he mentioned wanting to coach, much less stay in Manchester/England? In case you didn't know, he isn't retiring after this season.Bit surprised that David Silva is not being mentioned at least
