God you lot are a bit sensitive today. He does have a point. Whatever the most blue tinted glasses you are looking through City do not have the prestige of Bayern, Barca, Madrid, or whisper it quietly United.

Yes we have history but so do most clubs. Huddersfield Town for example. More importantly we have recent success which has upped our prestige quotient a great deal so that we are now a bigger draw than Liverpool. Chelsea's sustained success over a decade plus the fact they have Mourinho means they probably edge us at the moment. Arsenal due to the London factor is probably a draw.

So is Pep prepared to drop down a peg? Well he can't go to Madrid, probably doesn't want to go to Barca. The question really is whether he likes the idea of United when LVG gets fired or prefers a slightly less prestigious club who happen to employ his mate.

A Step down to one of the best set ups in the world?

Prestige would have literally nothing to do. All the managers care about is the present. Barca/Bayern/Madrid would be an automatic choice above us but the talk to someone choosing United over us is far fetched considering they arn't even in the CL this year.

Which would bring more prestige to a manager's CV, winning a CL with 10 times winners Real Madrid, 4 times winners Bayern and Barca (iirc) or 3 times winners U*****d, or winning it with a team from outside the established elite?

Nail on head

I reckon I could Manage Real or Barca and get them to the CL final

Not exactly a challenge is it?

Why the fuck did he go to Bayern then? There are very few managers who put their reputation on the block.

Sorry to say I don't think Pep Guardiola is ever coming to City and it's pie in the sky to think it. Lets look at this from the outside.... City are akin to PSG, lots of money, not much history when compared to the really big clubs in Europe. Would he go to PSG? I really dont think so, he deals with big big clubs, he wants prestige imo.

I think the only way he will come to City is for the challenge and/or the money :(

A lot of posts have already rubbished this post, so I add:

Maureen was fucked off by Chelsea's owner because he hadn't won the Champions League. An ex-Chelsea player won the Champions League for Chelsea. Maureen is now back at Chelsea but still nowhere near winning Champions League.

Yes London as nice place to live whilst managing a London club, but if you are going to factor in London with Arsenal, then you need to factor Chelsea too. Arsenal have only once gotten close to winning Champions League. Most seasons the Arsenal board are quite happy with Arsenal just taking part and nothing more.

The Rags don't have the money to buy the players Pep needs every season to compete in the various competitions.

Pep will go whereever he thinks has the best project.

Robbieh is bang on there. Guardiola also worked under LvG at Barca, has a lot of respect for him. In terms of his club career, other than not managing in Holland, he is following the same path as LvG. Barcelona, Bayern... United?
If Pep does have a one year rolling deal then he can stay at Bayern til the end of LvG which will be next season or the season after. Pep also has a close relationship with Fergie, a lot of mutual respect, he's on our board of directors and will have an input on the next boss, as will LvG. And I know who both will recommend. Especially as the 4-3-3 Pep plays was played by van Gaal at Barca, and the past few weeks seems to be implemented at United
