Pep Guardiola

[jay_mcfc]

Guardiola is a myth look at Tito Villanova, doing even better than Pep did

The fact is that it takes a manager at least 3 seasons to get a team playing the way he wants it and once he leaves a successful club then it takes just as long for his influence to wear off. Hence why Avram Grant came within a penalty kick of winning the CL with what was Mourinho's team. If Villanova can do the same thing in 10 years time with his own squad then you can fairly say what you've said.

Thanks for the FA Cup and League, Sparky

He actually does like and admire Jose.

I read something at the weekend, think it was Daniel Taylor in the Guardian talking about Ferguson's successor and I think that's where it was mentioned that Ferguson would not recommend Mourinho as his replacement

Lauren blanc is next utd boss apparently.

My arse.

That's what two League managers told me, quite independently, so I'd prefer to listen to them than you if that's OK.

Hughes wasn't the world's greatest manager but he had done some groundwork and it was only in Mancini's third season, having spent a lot of money, that we actually won the league. So you can take that as a fact if you like.

GUAARDIOLA

MANCHESTER CITY AND CHELSEA SET TO MISS OUT ON GUARDIOLA AS VILANOVA STEPS DOWN AT BARCA
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has stepped down from his position due to a recession on a tumour on a salivary gland which was operated on this morning.
Barcelona will give more information during the day and are preparing a statement at the moment but for now, they are said to have already approached a coach to take charge for the remainder of the season. Jordi Roura, Vilanova's assistant, will take charge until further notice.
It is telling that Barcelona are only looking for someone for the remainder of this season as Pep Guardiola is set to return to the game at the beginning of next season.

Rumours are already rife that former Barcelona manager Guardiola will return to the club to replace Vilanova, who replaced him in June, however we reported in November that Guardiola has a preliminary agreement to take over at Manchester City in the summer, according to a claim by a FIFA agent. Read the full report here.

Guardiola quit Barcelona in the summer in order to take a year out from football and enjoy some time out in New York.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich failed to lure Guardiola to Stamford Bridge after sacking Roberto Di Matteo and employed Rafa Benitez on a temporary basis. It was widely believed that Guardiola would join Chelsea after his sabbatical but Abramovich looks to have lost out for good now.

Also, Guardiola said he was apprehensive about committing to Chelsea as he thinks Abramovich is too trigger happy with his managers.

Manchester City appointed former Barcelona executive Txiki Begiristain as their director of football in October, to work alongside another former Barcelona chief executive Ferran Soriano.

PEP GUARDIOLA WILL KO MANCHESTER CITY BOSS BID IN FAVOUR OF UNITED

PEP GUARDIOLA is ready to snub the blue half of Manchester – for the red.

The Daily Star Sunday revealed this month how Manchester City told Guardiola to name his price to replace Roberto Mancini.

City sporting director Txiki Begiristain met with the Spaniard but the former Barcelona boss told friends it is the United job he wants.

That is expected to be available in the summer with Sir Alex Ferguson planning to retire but even if he changes his mind, Guardiola is prepared to wait.

In a huge snub to City, Guardiola, 41, would extend his sabbatical should Fergie decide to stay.

Guardiola could double his money at City but is more interested in the Old Trafford project and has met Ferguson over the last few months to discuss it.

The men have property in New York and are reported to have met at least three times there recently.

A three-year deal is on the table for Guardiola who will want two assistants and three new coaches for the clubs’s youth programme.

Well if Pep has told his friends and his friends then told the Daily Star then who are we to argue.

Daily star exclusive! no quotes by anyone connected. How are they allowed to get away with blatant speculation and calling it an exclusive?

 

[SiMCFC]

Are journos well paid because I feel I could do it quite well... It being making a story up, I do it often when I know I will be in the doghouse...

Great, his passing game style would fit their World famous midfield.

The only thing they can't do is make up quotes (hasn't stopped some in the past), that's the only thing they aren't supposed to do. They can and do make anything else up they like.

There job isn't to tell us news, it's to sell papers.

We have no idea how good he will be in the premier league. A least with mourinho you know what you're going to get.
