Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[SidJames]

I think some fans get too emotionally attached to managers.

Football is a unique environment. It is a constantly evolving sport.

New managers come along,with new radical ideas,they bring different concepts with them.

Pep idea of how the game should be played was radical when he first came in to management.

It has delivered us domestic success beyond our wildest dreams.

Now unfortunately his style is starting to look a bit stale,and in need of an overhaul.As more and more teams figure out how to combat it.

We wanted to replicate Barcelona yesterday, hence why Pep is our manager.Tomorrow we will want to replicate Bayern Munich.

Just the way the game is.

Maureen looks like an old Dinosaur today.Pep Star is fading also.

No room for sentiment in football.

It’s looking like we are going into next season with Pep in his last year with us. Normally this results in a car crash of a season as seen with Pellegrini when announced he was leaving in February and even Slurgie when he announced he was off only to change his mind.

How do we avoid these mistakes of the past, a few dodgy results early on next year and the knives will be out for Pep. Speculation will be rife on his successor and will be a side show all year.

Who do we want next...

someone like Pochetino who hasn’t won anything yet but had a decent record at Spurs

perhaps Nagglesman who looks to be the next best thing but at 33 could get swallowed up by a move to a big club

a complete change in philosophy with Simeone

this is the problem we face, there is only a downward step after Pep Guardiola , the last 4 years are probably as good as it will ever get for us

 

[peoffrey]

I wouldn’t want Simeone. He’s a bully and his football is far too defensive.

I can’t think of anyone. It’s that bad.

 

[chesterbells]

I'll add a bit more shite. Fuck the bald fraud off today and bring back Brian Horton; )

Howard Kendall is the one for me

 

[mat]

I expect PiGMOL will do to us what they did to get rid of Mourinho at Chelsea if they get wind he's leaving. They wouldn't want him going out on a high.

Expect lots of what the fuck decisions on the first 10 matches.


I don't think he will mind.

He has unfinished business with us.

 

[mancityscot]

nagelsmann perhaps?

 

[simon23]

Yes!! I would!! In a heartbeat!

fair enough - i would rather play the most attractive football the league has ever seen, win lots of domestic cups/titles on the way and if we can get a bit of luck (which is also what you need) keep cracking away at the CL. However the CL is put on a pedestal by the media (higher than the world cup when they are talking about what players have won what -for instance David Silva - which astounds me). i also recognise that the owners want the CL but as a fan (and this for me has never changed ever( the domestic comps (esp the league) is always the first and foremost.

I would not want otwin it for instance the way Chelsea last did in one of the most boring games i have ever witnessed

 

[RayCTID]

Louis van Gaal although that would an interim appointment until we find someone more suitable.

 

[Keeper!]

If the rumours are true it's Pochettino, many whispers we have paid him a retainer (true or not, who knows)

If he is the man the club think is right, they have a big decision to make and very quickly.

Barca job is available.

Does Tikix go as well? I am sure Ferran is in for the long term with the CFG ( his baby) .

But tomorrow morning I hope all 3 are sat in front of Khaldoon and sort this mess out, because it is a mess.

Last night was embarrassing, after the decision at CAS things were looking up and that should have motivated everyone at that club to go and win the trophy and shove it UEFA proverbial.

This morning the world of football looks on and sniggers again, and rightly so.

F.H.Lee was right, if there was a cup for cock ups we would be champions.

I said it after the arsenal game and have been worried by it all season but you can't really say much on here without getting pelters. The signs are so obvious it's hilarious others don't see it.

Like Mourinho the stubbornness and total belief in what he is doing was once a great strength but is now killing him. His time has passed unless he changes but he cannot see it. Neither can our own supporters.

We will win plenty of games next season with him in charge because of the ability of our players. We will also lose more than we should. If he doesn't adapt him being here next year will be a big mistake.
