sounds like Xavi to meMy thinking is the answer is still sat inside or has been around Barcelona all their careers

And has the best single eyebrow raise of any top manager .European trophy record holder, and manager of the year Ancelotti? Probably, aye.
Not that I would want him here to be clear, but he is an excellent manager.
It’s been good while it lasted mate!We're done now as the Rags have beaten us to our number 1 target......they've done us again as they did with piano man and fake Ronaldo. They still have the hex on us...

Pep's tactics have evolved over his career since he left Barca, he's tweaked the basic tikka takka to meet the different demands of first the Bundesliga and now the PL so someone who's been solely at Barca may not be totally suitable.Can’t just bring someone in surely we must be preparing for the transition of Peps methods philosophy etc etc now in our DNA so we can speculate but let’s hope his successor is already being prepared
Even Pep had to sacrifice his first season to groom the whole club in his ways which meant clearing out those as good as they may have appeared didn’t have the hart for it
If we don’t continue his blueprint we could end up like the rags with each new manager wanting his “type” of player

I’ve said it before, Unai Emery is the man. Won European trophies with smaller clubs, got Villa into the CL, imagine what he could do with our resources and board backing him.
was reading more on him the other day (link below) the evolution of tactic from Dortmund to Bayern was impressive.Maybe am going for Nagelsmann and if Pep has said to the sheik he is leaving end of the season he is the only one we could announce early to stop speculation if pep doesn't commit by end of November


I really rate him too. Signed a 5 year contract in the summer so wouldn’t be cheap.I’ve said it before, Unai Emery is the man. Won European trophies with smaller clubs, got Villa into the CL, imagine what he could do with our resources and board backing him.
Well it seems nailed on that Alonso is going to Madrid according to Spanish press, so surely hewas reading more on him the other day (link below) the evolution of tactic from Dortmund to Bayern was impressive.

Yup, it's been during the November international break in the pastI reckon we will get news on three weeks time during the break, isnt that usually when he says his decision ?
How many times was Aguero heading to Madrid according to the Spanish press?Well it seems nailed on that Alonso is going to Madrid according to Spanish press, so surely he
must be next choice ,not really anyone else of his quality.
I hope so because I’m incredibly bored of all the speculation now.I reckon we will get news on three weeks time during the break, isnt that usually when he says his decision ?
I think Utd have dropped lucky with Amorim. He'd been on our radar for a while and Pep's situation becomes ever more important as a result. He'll be expected to dislodge the Tarquins and scousers pretty quickly. Go on Pep - stay a few more years.as a potential future coach really rate him too. Signed a 5 year contract in the summer so wouldn’t be cheap.
But I’d like to think we’re gonna start spending big again when the 115 shit is done and dusted and we’ve torn the PL a new one, again.
Only signed a 2 1/2 year contract which is tellingI think Utd have dropped lucky with Amorim. He'd been on our radar for a while and Pep's situation becomes ever more important as a result. He'll be expected to dislodge the Tarquins and scousers pretty quickly. Go on Pep - stay a few more years.
