Pep to leave at the end of the season

I agree. The domination we had during Pep’s first 7 years was due to him employing a brand new way of playing the game and everyone else trying to work it out and then play catch up, whilst Pep kept tweaking things to stay ahead. Ultimately he ran out of ways to do that last season but that was always going to be inevitable. He was lucky in the fact he already had 3 stunning players in Sergio, El Mago and Vinnie to be able to employ his system in the first place and then added Kev and Eddie to finish it off. I just don’t see that scenario happening again.

Pep’s doing the right thing getting out of the game, in England at least. It’s more about physicality than skill now.
KdB was here before Pep.

He arrived the previous summer with Raheem.
 
So many goodbyes, but nobody even mentioned Betinneli. Scandalous!

These things go in cycles, I don’t think the modern physicality will last that long.
 
I’ll be at the Co-op later with my Dad and my Daughter. I was done in yesterday so fuck knows what I’ll be like later, when it all becomes “final” so to speak. Blows my mind that there’s kids like my Daughter who’s 13, And Pep is all she’s ever known. Polar opposite to the football I was watching at a similar age, gonna be another emotional rollercoaster, but thankful we can say one last goodbye. We’ll treasure the memories Pep has given us as a family, and will be eternally thankful. Whatever happens from here Blues, we lived it, and were blessed with one of the greatest managers that ever lived. Not only that, he got us, fell in love with us, became one of us, and leaves a dyed in the wool Mancunian. God bless you, you beautiful bald bastard.
 
60k+ people in the stadium yesterday, staying till the very end saying goodbye to decade long legendary players, the greatest manager around, long serving backroom staff, that have all contributed to 20 trophies in 10 years. And with messages from players over the last 15 or so years.

Anyone else thinking, man, they have really commited to this sportswashing malarkey!
 
Pep Guardiola is simply the best English club manager ever.
Before he arrived, English football was a high-energy kick and rush sort of game.
That has totally changed since his arival: In the Premier League and all.leagues in the pyramid, even down to park football! Park football is no longer a cloud of kids following the ball around.
Everywhere, to a lesser or greater degree, maintaining possession and working the ball to probe the opposition defence, while maintaining possession, is much more important.
No other English club manager has changed the nature of English football landscape as fundamentally as Pep Guardiola.
Even the average trophy haul is better than any other manager over a consistent time period.
The points haul won in title wining seasons is simply incredible.
No other manger in his best seasons has won all the domestic honours in a season. No other manager manager has won the league 4 years in a row.
No team of any other English club manager has got to 100pts in a season or scored the volume of goals that City has under his tenure.
It is simply churlish and pure jealousy to think Pep Guargiola is not the best English club manager ever.
