Next Manager after Pep

[KS55]

Ole will be available. Close thread.

Totally agree with both men's credentials over Brendan ,in fact I'd rather have Buck Rogers too maybe even over all the Rogers... He has great leadership skills knows how to reach levels beyond the stratosphere and has a good friendship with Twiki, from Begiristain's stint as his sidekick robot he's also good with his finger on the trigger, knows how pilot a steady ship and has even shown good longevity into the 25th century.

Brendan on the other hand is a complete bottle job, whereas Buck is calm under pressure knows how to have a good tactical battle and is far more charismatic leader.

he could extend again

I think he could do 10 years here. He’s got a hungry squad with a lot of talent in the academy ready to bloom. 10 years at City then goes into international management.

Pep is a great manager and hope he stays for many. But when he goes he has to leave the club behind so the next manager can just get on with the job.

We must avoid the Rags situation - Mad old man in attic still runs club.

I always had a hunch he might although still not a certainty round it up too 10 years and then call it a day I really hope that’s the case as he is gonna be one hell of an act to follow on from when he does quit enjoy every minute while we can folks ..

A few months ago I'd resigned myself to pep doing another season or two and fucking off, but for some reason I'm not getting that vibe now. I don't think he'll want to go without winning the cl so I sort of hope we don't!
Obviously if ole or Steve bruce are still free in Jan we'll probably fuck pep off though ;-)

It’s almost unbelievable to older blues that
not only do some of the best players in the world come to City and love it so much that they stay for pretty much the rest of their careers but that the best manager in the world by far has spent far longer here than at two of the world’s biggest clubs.

We all have our little moans about certain aspects of how the club is run but man the sheikh and khaldoon and the execs have built something truly remarkable here. So special in fact that I don’t think Pep will want to walk away, he knows he’ll never have a set up that comes anywhere near to what he has here.

Yeah there is no football project to match ours I think. Some may beat us in certain areas but don’t think anyone matches us in overall quality as a football operation. Therefore there is nowhere for pep to go but down, doesn’t mean he won’t leave anyway just for a fresh start or something. But the interview tonight has improved my hope for another renewal. I think he might wait to see if we actually buy a bloody striker tho lol.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Keep the guys above him, give him what he needs to succeed and give him challenges and there's no reason for him to leave, everybody including Pep knows he won't have it better elsewhere.

I’ve commented on this before. One of the big Factors in our success is that players don’t want to leave. You have to credit Khaldoon and to a lesser extent Soriano and Txiki for creating that supportive culture. It always come from the top: if you treat people well they want to stay,

[mccity]

Paddy Barclay in shambles

he could extend again

Going nowhere IMO. If he needs a year out to recharge or even if he left to manage a euro/World Cup, I would be ok with it. Pep is keeping the door open to come back. Unorthodox but he is worth the hassle.

Hopefully the club will keep an open mind approach to Pep and his future role. We now have a bond with each other that won’t be easily broken.

We won the lottery twice once pep signed.

If he really does fancy international management next, he’d want time to mould whoever he managed before a big tournament.

2026 is in the US. Wonder if he’d manage them in their home tournament? imagine if he won? He’d be a hero.

Not a bad shout that. He has permission to leave city in 2025 and return 2026 for another 10 seasons ;)

I’m hoping his replacement hasn’t been born yet.

City do this very well, whether it’s from the top or the talented people we have at middle management.

Things like the recent family Halloween fun day they did in the indoor pitch for the players and their families.

When you don’t have the weather you have to do other things and City do it well.

Although I wish they would not recommend players to live in the City Centre. I’m sure if Bernardo had a lovely 5 bed in Prestbury then he wouldn’t be as homesick viewing then KFC litter polluting the River Irwell from his apartment balcony.

Pep stays forever.

Plenty of our players who’d lived in the area for years chose themselves to leave the Cheshire suburbs to live in the City centre. Aguero and David Silva amongst them.

It’s actually a really good city centre to live in if you’re young ish and got a few quid. Loads of decent coffee shops, some decent restaurants, a world class concert arena and decent shopping all within 5 minutes walk of your front door.

The views in Prestbury are better no doubt, but if you’re in your 20s, I know which lifestyle I’d prefer.
