MoreIf Vinny has the CV, there would be no popular appointment.
The story would be poetic, however, something inside me says we don’t want to have the man with the statue out front to take the helm and follow pep as manager.I’m willing vinny is the real deal. It would be somewhat poetic to see the man who we all earmarked due to his character but who has also lived the whole transformation of the club
The reality is whoever we get will be a downgrade, given we have the best coach of his generation, catch 22 and a decision I don’t envy up top…The story would be poetic, however, something inside me says we don’t want to have the man with the statue out front to take the helm and follow pep as manager.
If it goes wrong in any way it would be horrible
With that attitude Pep would’ve been gone after his first season.The last thing we need is somebody given more time than they deserve because of their accomplishments as a player, which should be entirely separate from their accomplishments as a manager. If Vinny, who I love, proves himself to be good enough to be a Man City manager that would be absolutely fantastic. But if he one day gets the job, he should be judged by the same standards as anyone else. "Time" "process" and other words that excuse failure may work in clubs that are not expected to compete for trophies every year. When we are expected to compete for every trophy the time is always now. More time should be earned, not given.
Thats completely false. Pep was widely known as the best manager in the world when he joined which obviously made him start on a higher level of trust than the average manager. Under Peps first season we also got more wins, lost less games, scored more goals, conceded less goals, got 12 more points and finished on a higher position in the league than in the year before. Clearly a step forward which earned him more time.With that attitude Pep would’ve been gone after his first season.

Much as I love Vinnie, we have to think with our heads, not our hearts.. . .only 1 candidate for me. Vinny - even if he was only 35.
Rub it into the scousers faces even more with years of continued success copying their Shankly model by bringing through from within.
Superb communicator, City legend and complete top bloke. Win Champions league first season.
Pep wasnt equivalent to Brian Barry-Murphy (current eds manager and I had to google that).Seems people really underestimating Txixi decision to appoint manager with less CV background.
This is the same man that appoint Pep as manager to Barca Senior team back then with only Barca B as his CV, it's akin to appoint our current EDS manager as next senior City manager after Pep leaves that's how insane the decision back then was.
The appointment of Vinny as the next City manager will not come as surprise given our DoF track record to appoint what he feel the best for the club regardless what anyone especially fans think about it.
Id be shocked if Txiki went after Kompany when Pep goes.Seems people really underestimating Txixi decision to appoint manager with less CV background.

Kompany has zero experience managing anyone with any sort of ego or attitude, ability to juggle all major competitions and plan against the best managers in the world. Pep leaving likely results in half the backroom staff going as well and perhaps several players.
Pep is likely to be heavily involved in his successor, rightly or wrongly. I doubt he would put Kompany on his list.
It's not really something I want to think about, but sadly one day Pep will call it a day at City.
Just wondering what the general consensus is on who should replace him? He's only agreed two more seasons, so looking at end of 2024/2025 season possibly. I know two years is a long time in football and someone we haven't even heard of could come out of the woodwork in the meantime as a top manager...
Somebody who Pep has worked with and moulded to his style, that would be a seamless transition, like Arteta?
An ex-City player, like Patrick Vieira?
A City legend, like Vincent Kompany?
Poach a good manager from a smaller club, like Thomas Frank?
Just any old 'big name' manager, like Conte/Tuchel/Nagelsmann?
Anybody but Pochettino, please!!
You think Kompany who has played with numerous world class players will allow individuals to ruin what he's trying to do? Not a fucking chance. They'll be straight out of there. He was a leader as a player, he's not going to let anyone fuck about when he's manager.
