L'Equipe report that Guardiola has met with United

[bugsyblue]

For some reason the main Guardiola thread is locked. Anyway L'Equipe are claiming that Pep has met with United... is it time to get flappy again?

L'Equipe spouts utter bullshit all the time, to be fair, so I can hardly see them being accurate on a topic of a Spanish coach who is at a German club and is probably off to England...

May seems a long way off.,.....

Despite being in central Paris, Hotel Bristol is at the quiet end of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, it's possible he'd have gone unnoticed

L'Equipe's claims about Man United meeting Guardiola are from French journalist Thierry Marchand, via French TV.

A French newspaper will obviously have the inside track on this story.

8/1 still with some bookies, you should get on it if you're worried.

Unless he was spotted in France ;-)

L'equipe are quoting Thierry Marchand on French tv. No idea if he is anyway credible or the French Tancredi Palmeri

The alleged meeting was in Paris last week so it's possible they would be the first to pick up on it.

Still, Bayern haven't been anywhere near Paris last week so he'd have had to either ditch one of their training sessions or make a long commute at unreasonable hours. And I've never seen L'Equipe get anything right previously.

Pep would be mad not to meet anyone who is interested in him, as long as he has even the slightest interest himself.

He's not a City fan. He's a manager at the peak of his career and earning potential. If I was him I'd talk to everyone before making a decision.

And - if he does come (hope he will) then in two years time we will all be wetting ourselves about "will he stay or will he go" - and based on his track record he will go.

This pleases me. Redcafe haven't had any pep stories on their forum for ages but this has got them giddy again.
Hope he's linked with them every day until he's unveiled at the Etihad.

Also, meeting in a hotel is a hugely effective way of ensuring your business is kept fully confidential.

It's like pretending to throw a toy to an especially stupid dog.

Yep, a bit like meeting in a Madrid restaurant. ;-)

That was different for reasons which I shall go away and consider.

Can't wait for Big Yaya Wilko to see this thread. Actually, someone should probably check on him.
