Ten Haag must be next
Spot on with his rotation today and use of subs. It's often one of the very few legit criticisms you can throw at him but he nailed it.
We can retire any anti Txiki threads bemoaning transfers that could and should have happened because the only important one was getting Pep here.Pep Guardiola: "I met Txiki [Begiristain] a long time ago. He is very humble and a reason why I extended my contract at #ManCity. We met each other, played together for 30 years and he trusted me. Without him, I would not be here..." [via

That's sort of true but that was only because needs must. If Aguero hadn't scored in 2012 Pep would have become manager that summer.Perfect example of why we are where we are today.
If we had gone for Pep 12 years ago, he would have turned us down. So, what does Khaldoon do? Appoint Pep's good friend to prepare the way. Spend what is required to build the perfect academy. Structure the club so that it is ready to receive the greatest manager of all time. Then once all the foundations are in place, make your move.
Long term, strategic thinking. Rome wasn't built in a day. Why United are where they are, and we are where we are.
I saw Txiki in town not so long ago.. I refrained from licking his face with love.We can retire any anti Txiki threads bemoaning transfers that could and should have happened because the only important one was getting Pep here.
Job done. Give the man a cigar.
