If he is appointed on a 2 year deal, there will be widespread speculation from day one that he is in effect a temporary manager. Obviously keeping the seat warm for Pep or Jose, possibly both.

 

[ElanJo]

I hope the 2 year contract is something lost in translation (hopefully referring to his remaining 2 years at Malaga rather than being given a 2 year contract at City)

Why? because such a short contract will bring questions about his future at the club straight from the off.

Give him at least a 3 year deal even if this Pep business is true.

 

[BobKowalski]

No disrespect to salfordpaul but I dont buy these "Pep in 2 years" stories for a minute.

Clubs don't strategise like that. Noone knows what will happen to us, Pellegrini, Pep or Bayern over 2 years. Managers don't sign short term deals like that when they can get long ones elsewhere with bigger payoffs. They don't want to be relocating their family for a fixed term.

It doesn't ring true at all.

It had to happen eventually...I agree with Dave

 

[BlueForever123]

Anything more than a 2 year deal though and the press would have a field day going on about how we will probably end up having to pay compensation if the first few years don't work out.

Maybe someone will step out from a private jet, show him a briefcase full of cash and say 'right this way Mr Pellegrini sir, leave Ryanir to the cretins'
