Next Manager after Pep

[Didsbury Dave]

Rather he say something like ‘who knows it’s impossible to see into the future’ then to completely rule it out. Perhaps I’m being too precious but I don’t like him basically ruling out Staying for another 5 plus years.

Sometimes get the feeling he feels as though he is doing us a favour being our manager.

That’s a totally ridiculous thing to say and it comes from your Likkle City inferiority complex.

He’s our longest serving manager and we are his long serving tenure. He fights our corner in the media every week. What more do you want? Him to sing Munich songs and have a City tattoo ?

winning the champions league will see pep leave straight after the final
make no bones about it ? the one last thing on the list of what pep has to do at manchester city before he can feels its job done and time to move on

maybe its this season and i would think the city board should be looking for a new manager right now and should have a short list of managers ready to take over ? forget ex-players like kompany ? its far to early and he needs more time. also its a no to arteta. and vieira or brendan rodgers

for me nobody can replace pep and the club may need to look at the whole coaching side of the club and change
yes we can keep the DNA of playing out from the back but i think looking forward the false 9 or not having strikers needs redressing and fixing

No, it won't he'll leave at the end of a contract, do you really think if we win it this year,he would n't do next season?

Every year is a bonus as far as I am concerned- love the guy and his football .

Its going to be weird when he's gone and we know the next person will not be as good.

I guess its because normally a manager is sacked when things go bad you always have optimism that the new guy will be better than the old one, but with Pep he will walk out on his own terms and his replacement will be inferior and we just have to accept that.

199 it is then

 

[trevorriley]

the sort of manager we attract will be totally different from what we normally do.

top managers will want to come because what pep leaves with players coming through and player investment will be a pleasure for somebody to walk in to.

There also must have been times where potential managers would think "can i trust the owners". Id say the combination of our owners & directors is about as solid as anywhere in the PL. Coming to man city means you are at the top of European club.

He will think it totally alien that anyone would want him to stay for another 5 years.

There’s a bizarre obsession in this country about managers staying for years. That is refined to England only.
Ferguson and Wenger were anomalies and especially Wenger would have been fired anywhere else in Europe when they won nowt for 2 years.

European teams rotate managers every 3/4 seasons max..

Ten Haag is the obvious candidate but I imagine things may well change in the next 2 years.

You’re bang on. Ours will be probably the best and most attractive job in the world. One of the best indicators of Pep’s brilliance is that he leaves clubs in a very healthy state.

he is always honest - unlike most managers, many of whom would just say they’d love to stay another 5 years even though they know it’s unlikely in this day & age. However, Pep didn’t say he was leaving either!!
