I recon if we hadn’t lost Tito, bless his soul, before his time, he’d still be running the show there and they’d have seen a lot more consistency.Difficult call for me, but I probably rather have Pep.
Once Pep is gone, I think we will really miss him. Just ask Barcelona fans.
We need to dump that semi cult like notion of playing the exact style of football across every City outlet..It makes us sound like Starbucks. Play to your strengths ,keep inventing new strategy and tactics that's how you stay at number 1.Tongue in cheek mate. We will still compete without Pep. We are unlikely to be as dominant but if we continue to have the board we do, we should still be successful. We have a strong academy business model, excellent facilities and will buy great players. Most of the young crop will only know City as a successful team and will want to join.
We aren't likely to plummit down the leagues, but we have dominated England. Time to conquer Europe.
Not a patch on AC Milan under Sacchi and Capello in a far stronger league.In Spain there is no debate. even the people of real madrid recognize it. Pep's Barça won all the titles in the first year. and all with goal records and with 4 or 5 goals per game. look at youtube videos it was magical. 2009-2013.
Did someone say Aston Villa?It has to be the Champions League. Pep could leave, we could get relegated and when we are down in league 2 with 35,000 each week we can sing all about winning everything and dominating. We can dine off it forever more. Until we do, unfortunately the job hasn't been done.
It's the one the players, management, owners all want and it should be the ones us fans want now.
It's a joke, right? . compare milan with pep's barcelona...Not a patch on AC Milan under Sacchi and Capello in a far stronger league.
I can definitely see that happening when he eventually does tire. Also don’t see him tiring any time soonThis poll is nonsense. It's not realistic at all.
Pep has stated that he'll stay with us so long as it's fun, that he has influence, that he enjoys his job, if it's still challenging.
Perhaps he'll leave us if he wins the Champion's League - who knows? I don't think so though. He'll leave us if he's tired and no longer likes the job. City have bent over backward to ensure that Pep is surrounded by management that he likes - so getting tired may happen but we've done the best to prevent this.
Should Pep tire - what about a year or two or three off and then return? Pretty sure that City would offer this.

So - no vote in this poll for me.
Luis Enrique is a great coach. he will go to chelsea by the wayI recon if we hadn’t lost Tito, bless his soul, before his time, he’d still be running the show there and they’d have seen a lot more consistency.
Having said that, Martino and Enrique were solid and it was still all happy days for Barça until about the midpoint of Valverde’s reign.
You’re hinting at the European Cup, but I would argue they were the greatest of all time because of the way they steamrollered the domestic competitions week in, week outWhy is Pep's Barcelona the greatest team of all time? I agree, they are. But what's the reason?
I think he will replace Simeone at Ath MadridLuis Enrique is a great coach. he will go to chelsea by the way
