Next Manager after Pep

[K-Bo]

Pep is doing this season and next and then he's gone.

The club are planning for that as it stands.

Rodgers was actually a United fan as a kid but has asked a couple of people to keep that quiet, as he also did when in charge at Liverpool.

His missus wants to move back to the north West, so it's not beyond the realms that United do push the button on him first.

Rodgers, however, is in love with the idea of coming to City and he's been given enough encouragement that he's near the top of our list.

That's what city get for not getting him a striker.

I really hope we don't go for Brenda, the drop off is huge for me.

The guy is clearly a very good coach, that is without question but for me as a man / personality , he is not for us, I would have worries about our future in the short term.

Whoever takes Pep's place is on a hiding to nothing and hence must be a very strong character.

I feel like it's a bit like post-fergie and wenger, the manager after Pep is almost destined to fail, as Pep has so much power at City top to bottom. the shock of any kind of adaptation will cause problems. the manager after him will be the key appointment. If we win a title within 2-3 years after him leaving we've done very well I think

i personally think vieira would be the best bet.
I could see him having a rapport with the fans more than say Rodger’s or another new foreign coach might.
vieira would also add a bit more steel to the style of play which is probably going to be a good move as any new coach is going to be less effective at implementing the pep style so a slight variation is better than a pale imitation

Actually think that’s probably what keeps him here longer than he might have been.

Eh, we’re better run than both of those clubs. I’d expect a Year 1 shock, but we should be back on track within 2.

Don't think it makes the slightest difference either way. He signed a 2 year extension we all expected would be his last and he'll do the 2 years. Most likely that will be it, it will be unexpected if he extends further.

It’ll likely be similar to the period of 2011-2016, when we had Mancini and Pellegrini.

A couple of league titles, and the odd cup win.

I would expect the same in the 5/6 years after Pep and can live with that.

Before we then look for the next Pep, which is harder said than done.

Not sure he’d have signed if he had had an aguero replacement in earlier/had a better crack at CL.

Pretty sure he would. Dont know where this myth of a c/l obsession comes from Well I do , the medie, but not sure why so many of our fans follow it.
