Not doubting your comments at all.Pep’s successor will not be an improvisation from another CFG club. The only one with some pedigree is at Spurs, and even him doesn’t have enough stature. You can’t fuck around. You can’t go from Pep to a vacuum of influence and respectability. A manager isn’t there to prove a point, that’s why talk of Kompany is delusional is well.
We must have some long term plan in place though.
Pep has been a 100% success as far as I'm concerned.
There are things that happen though that Pep has no involvement.
The expansion CFG, purchases for these clubs, sponsorships, advertising, kit deals, youth teams etc.
We are at the top, or close to the top, in all of these.
A lot of the " top" managers are now with new clubs.
The new manager will also most definitely not be at Peps level which leads me to think it will be someone who works with him for a season before taking over the reins.
What is your opinion on Buckingham?
