I didnt compare them though did i, I said who knows what might have happened if they stayed, I'm not slagging pep in the slightest,Pep in the same time as Mancini and Pellegrini won more titles with a better football, woth 10 times more records and with 10 times more domination im every aspect of the game. There are dozens of reasons why Pep is in every list of the top 5 best managers of all time.
Comparing them to Pep, is like comparing Ribery to Messi. A great player who can have some really good seasons to a player that revolutionates football, and whose 3 worst seasons are comparable to Ribbery's best 3 seasons. Are you joking?
I dont wish for him to leave, I am saying 1 day it is going to happen, and I am saying the club will surely have a plan for that day, maybe 1 of those 2 won't come, but it would be 1 of them I would like to see come, both still young and bot olay good attractive footballYou make out like he hasn't won anything with us. Be careful what you wish for pal. Why would Arteta leave Arsenal ? They have a conveyor belt churning out good talent and Howe isn't going anywhere while he's God in Newcastle.
Doubt there’s any plan yet as we almost certainly don’t need one yet.When we need a plan we’ll have one , it will most likely be a good one. As good as Pep probably not quite but who knows.
The fact we’re not hearing anything from the media about potential new managers says to me the club already know he’s staying
Surely if there was any chance he was going the club would be putting out feelers and if they were the press would get wind of it
Not sure I said we would know, if I did I didn’t mean to.Agree with your repeat point that if the club needed one, they'd have one.
What makes you think we would know if the club had one though?

You know what, it's ultimately sad. A real rotten core and closed shop.I love the way people round on other blues on here, his point was if pep wants out then so be it, we need to accept he won't be here for ever and yes we have had some wonderful times and seen some great football, but Pep isn't without fault, and we will see a new manager at some point, but do you all believe that city haven't planned for this? and do you all believe when Pep leaves we are done?
Yeah the dream appointment when Pep does go should be VK assuming he progresses enough.Peps stays,Burnley get promotion, do well in the PL for 2 years, and then "its to you Vincent Kompany". How I would love him back at our club continuing the dynasty. That is the wish.
I have not always been convinced by old players getting involved as managers but, Vincent, Vieira could do a job. Arteta although not an ex-player worked with Pep and will be building a gooner dynasty until we buy their best players again.There is a merry-go-round of more experienced managers like Ancelotti, Tuchel etc. and not convinced City would go for one of these guys.In fact Ten Hag was a consideration and had Pep been leaving I reckon he would have waited for City rather than deal with that shit show of a club in Salford.
So my theory is simple. Pep stays and sorts the squad deficiencies over the next two years. Then handed over to a younger more dynamic manager than some of the old duffers doing the rounds.
It’s plan BI love the old wet wipes comments, if anyone dares to question anything they are a wet wipe, how original, is the word wet wipes used for likes and popularity
Its going to be impossible to know if VK will ever be good enough. It would kill me to see him join and be out within 12mths like Lampard at Chelsea etc.Yeah the dream appointment when Pep does go should be VK assuming he progresses enough.
Bringing in one of the better/usual merry-go-round managers just wouldn't be right for us as fans or the club. Whoever follows him ideally should be in a position to do 8/10 years themselves.
Yes that is the worry but, assuming Pep does another 2/3 years, it'll give us as a club time to get a good look at Vinny.Its going to be impossible to know if VK will ever be good enough. It would kill me to see him join and be out within 12mths like Lampard at Chelsea etc.
We have to trust our board to pick the right successor when the time comes.Its going to be impossible to know if VK will ever be good enough. It would kill me to see him join and be out within 12mths like Lampard at Chelsea etc.
I think it will be Luis Enrique personally but be interesting for sure.We have to trust our board to pick the right successor when the time comes.
Theyve not chosen too badly so far, so hopefully they will do so again.
As good a shout as any. It’ll either be someone like that or someone young with less experience, but as close to Pep as they can find. Imho.I think it will be Luis Enrique personally but be interesting for sure.
Howe ? LolI agree with some points you make and some points he makes, Guardiola doesn't really have a plan B it's his way of playing and that's it, sometimes his stubborn ways are there for all to see, sometimes he over thinks things, he has been given more time than any other city manager, who knows where mancini would have taken us, who knows where Manuel would have taken us? Pep took over the club when it was in a great place, I dont give 2 fucks about the champions league if I am honest, but Pep has not covered himself in glory with us in that competition, the final against Chelsea was all on Pep, we kept the same team all competition, then he decides to change it all for the final, if he does go my 2 choices would be Arteta or Howe
Howe ? Lol
