Next Manager after Pep

[ancoats]

He doesn’t though he sees out his contracts and shortly before it’s up decides whether it’s time t for him personally to move on. There is nothing in his past to suggest as soon as he’s reached his personal targets somewhere he ups sticks and leaves them in the lurch, which leaving the day after a June C/L final would be doing.
We will know months if not a year before he is leaving and have that time to prepare.

i just think city and pep have some sort of agreement in place that if he wants to leave if we win the champions league this season then he can leave

there is far to much going on with interviews and media reports about his future and after todays question about his 200 game for city in the premier league and could he see himself doing another 200 and he said no a BIG no

so read into that with what you like ? but that sounds like winning the champions league is the end and he will move on and take a break then look for a new project ? that's what it sounds like to me because why would he need to stay on when he's won everything possible with manchester city

Every manager will want this job when Pep leaves. I guarantee you if pep was to leave now every manager in the prem , possibly in Europe as well would want this Job. Rodgers at Leicester has said he doesn’t want the United Job as he wants City. Do you think that the other managers don’t think the same. We have dominated English football since pep was here domestic treble,100 point etc.

We have money, a more than competent board compared to other clubs, amazing owners, a brilliant academy its a dream set up for any manager.

its a question that says manchester city are the best and under pep its been unbelievable. so do you fancy taking up the hot seat and be successful straight away because you can bet the media will be all over you if not

the manchester city manager job after pep will be the hardest in football and the premier league ?
because you will be judged on what pep did and you will have money to spend or new players and everybody will have to hit the ground running and maybe win a trophy

It's taken nearly 6 years to get to 200 league games so it is hardly a big clue that he doesn't think he will do another 200.

true

but he looked like its been a long 6 years and he did not fancy many more. so if he can win the champions league this season. i see him looking at it and saying well maybe its time ? little signs are starting to stack up and maybe he feels he can not go on anymore.

for me if he wins the champions league this season then its all down hill from there. its takes a hell of a job to get there in the first place. i don't see pep enjoying and looking back on success and just going through the motions with being manchester city manager because he's a winner and know what it takes to win

the best thing for manchester city would be pep leaving after the champions league if we win it this season
it would be painful but ? for the good of manchester city we have to let go of pep at some point and winning champions league would give a little breathing space for a new manager

Didn't Txiki say years ago that after an intense manager like pep, you need to bring in someone a lot more chilled to give the players a break?

A bit like the dippers having a year off the asthma drugs last season?

Did he really say that?
That's definitely putting your eggs in the one basket

Many of the players would be on their way out too.
Would Klopp give the players a break? Lol

I would love to see a list of the 100 managers most often mentioned to replace Ferguson over the years and where they ended up once he did....(ironically I would suspect Pep would have made that list). Bottomline is even 18months is a really long time in football. It wouldn't shock me if its some really off the wall person, I get the feeling the club will look to appoint someone that fits the system over changing the system for someone else.

If that's the case it's important that it's more of a Villanova situation than an Ancelotti type, where the chilled successor at least isn't too hands off tactically or in training.
