Explain why it’s a nothing argument?? if Pep goes, who do you suggest replaces him to the benefit of the club, I can’t think of anyone.That's a bit of a nothing argument, to be honest.
We are lucky to have him but most important of all, he is a very lucky man to be the manager at this football club at this time.
He does not want for anything, has a wonderful owner and board that give him all that he needs.
Only to someone who doesn't have an answer...That's a bit of a nothing argument, to be honest.

I say he goes, what do you advise City do to replace him, I’m genuinely interested to hear..

What point?Doesn't worry me in the slightest.
I think u kinda missed the point tbh.
Again, I can see where you're coming from but I don't think Pep or any other manager is going to rebuild this team into something long lasting on his own. That's down to recruitment and the quality and mentality of the players we bring in. The manager can have input in that department but when you look at the failed transfers of the likes of Sanchez, Jorginho and Maguire (and if we're taking the reports of Pep being extremely disappointed at missing out on them as fact), I think it shows he isn't exactly bang on the money when it comes to freshening up the squad with quality young players.
In my opinion, the most important thing a manager can do is get the most out of the squad he has at his disposal and I don't think Pep has done that for over a year. It's not a question of results and silverware but one of performances and fixing recurring issues and I think things have stagnated under him.
I get that he's Pep Guardiola and his pedigree speaks for itself but you could have said the same thing about Mourinho about seven years or so ago. Times change and I'm not saying he's fallen behind but it does happen to even the greatest managers so I'm not putting more faith in him than I think our performances deserve just because of his name.
If he goes we will find a new manager, this is the life of a football club, we will not die off when Pep leaves, we will get a new manager and he will come in with his own ideas.Explain why it’s a nothing argument?? if Pep goes, who do you suggest replaces him to the benefit of the club, I can’t think of anyone.

A nothing argument is calling for or suggesting a change without stating what you would like the change to be. I have no problem with you stating you want a change or even putting it out there but let me know what that change is and we can then discuss the merits of it..To be fair, if you both read my comment on the page before* that then it's pretty clear that I've acknowledged that I don't know who the replacement would be.
I also think it's a question in relatively bad faith seeing as whoever I could mention would be immeditalely shot down as being inferior to Pep. I'm not well connected enough to know who would be available and I'm not clairvoyant enough to know who would work out.
We've won titles under each of the last three managers so I'm comfortable letting the club find a suitable replacement. But I also think it's worth noting that the previous two didn't exactly go out on a high.
There are some very good names on your list and in time maybe we can land one of them, as it stands though I’m happy with Pep and I think he’s got a lot more to achieve at City before he goes .. At least another 2 seasons would do me ..If he goes we will find a new manager, this is the life of a football club, we will not die off when Pep leaves, we will get a new manager and he will come in with his own ideas.
Like Mancini - title, Pellegrini - title, Pep - title.
Julian Nagelsmann - Leipzig FC
Marcelo Bielsa - Leeds
Marcelo Gallardo - River Plate another Bielsa devotee
Marco Rose - Borussia Monchengladbach, a Klopp fan.
I could add Pochettino, Villa-Boas whose stock is rising again, Brendan Rogers who could very well do a great job here and maybe bring more youth through to the first team.
If Pep decides to go it will be an end to a great period for us but it isn't the end of us as a great club with a future.
How many did pisscan win in 25 yrs ? 2 ?Had to laugh at the Telegraph's spin on Pep staying by claiming Guardiola won his only two CL successes while at Barcelona. How many CL titles do these cretins actually think is an acceptable number?
