Next Manager after Pep

[bluealf]

Yaya, just about to cut his teeth with Mancini in Saudi, so in 2 years he be in our hot seat, you heard it here first.............honest

Dear lord lol

 

[Barcon]

What is a tier 2 guy?

It's like a small wedding cake I believe.

 

[bridgeno1]

I hope it doesn't happen but surely the obvious candidate is Arteta? He worked with Pep for a few years, has a similar philosophy and is as close to providing continuity as you're likely to get?

Plus he's great at drawing.

So Yaya would be a Tier 5?

I doubt very much that the people that run our club would piss down his throat if his neck was on fire to be honest.

 

[Barcon]

Maybe. Maybe a fruit cake.

Pep was a Tier 5 guy when he took on Barca
It’s all a game of gamble, guessing and risk
Nobody knows. It’s not a science

Its not a science but Barca were employing a club legend. A star of his generation with a decade of top level playing experience, several seasons under Cruyff. Timed perfectly with a golden generation of academy prospects.

but he is a massive ****, he can't have been that well thought of by the players, did you not see KDB shove him, mild-mannered Kev lol

I would hate Arteta to be City manager.

I'd be happy to take Ange after he gets sick of Spuds collapsing after Xmas lol

Results like the 5-1 defeat at home to Everton last season and the 6-1 defeat at Villa Park concern me hugely

He will always have results like that at Brighton as they constantly sell their best players.

At one stage he may have been seen as a successor to pep before all the tapping up and him welcoming it,now I’m glad as he’s doing a decent enough job at arsenal but unfortunately not good enough for City ..

 

[Phil1]

Arteta?? Haha! Fucking no chance. I barely warmed to him when he was here but the version at Arsenal? Those cunts are welcome to him.

 

[meeesh]

Pmsl

It was a joke

Dear lord lol

It was a joke

 

[Heath Park]

Meaning a coach that works well at a little bit smaller club like a Villa where the spotlight is smaller and you don’t have to deal with the egos of truly elite world class players. At City, Madrid, Munich etc. you have to manage the top tier of players which requires you to have elite man management skills to handle that type of player. This is precisely why Zidane was hired by Madrid. They know he can handle that type of locker room.

If Villa are Tier 2... what tier are ManU on?? :-)

If you look at your name in the quote, you'd have known I was joking also.

 

[freshie]

Everton were mired in a relegation battle at the time and Brighton still had players like Caicedo and MacAllister. There’s no way they should be conceding 5 at home to sides like that when they are in the top 6

If you look at your name in the quote, you'd have known I was joking also.

Didn’t notice that, didn’t know you could do that fuck me that’s given me an idea going forward now, you’ve opened a juicy can of worms now haha

 

[KingGeorge]

If Villa are Tier 2... what tier are ManU on?? :-)

Technically tier 1 but they are playing like tier 5

 

[Silva Citizen]

Technically tier 1 but they are playing like tier 5

Rag
