I’ve heard he’s now been sacked for smoking big you cigars

He’ll extend for another season.

Possibly even bring the next geez in to work as his assistant for the season to suss the ropes out.

I think he’ll stay on after that in some kind of “global” / DOF type role.

You don’t let a man like him go. You let him stay around on his own terms.

My man.

You mean like the Pisscan?

More like Hendrik Johannes Cruijff, I think.

Lots of expected links to Ruben Amorim because of Viana appointment. However, Xabi Alonso has a very powerful block of supporters within City. One of those is Pep. He was his number one choice to become his assistant after Arteta left. City were extremely impressed with his loyalty towards his employers at that time. Alonso had a clause inserted in his contract renewal which included accepting any offer from City and some other big clubs.

I'd have to see who the "other big clubs" were before evaluating that clause. Bayern, Real and Barca, fair enough, but if it includes liverpool, not so much.

I expect the club, management and/or board to be that professional that we won’t see another Arsenal/Wenger or United/baconface.
And we all know the bible says after 7 good years … welk it’s 13 since the FA Cup win vs Stoke, but there will be a period we will not win much silverware. Even relegation to Div 2 won’t unbalance me as a City fan. Been there. Seen it. We move on.

To be fair to Arsenal they've been as successful without Wenger as they were with him in the final decade of his career. Perfect continuity plan.

I’ve heard he’s left today.

As long as he’s right on Sunday

Alonso be my number one choice! I know Madrid maybe looking at him but he will get better backing from our board if he goes through a sticky time than Madrid's he will get everything he needs to succeed too!
