Well that's bollocks for a start.
It's says the rags are among 3 other top European teams in for him.
They're hardly in the top 3 teams in the north West of England never fucking mind europe

Not even the Union!. Even Celtic and Aberdeen are above them!

maybe...maybe not...supposedly whoever this other team said he had to wait...utd said now or never and so he chose them.....

could all be crap however

Do you seriously think any manager would turn down City to go to the swamp???
All they have to offer is Thursday night football and a Mish mash of a squad..

depends on the person I guess.

Amorin is relatively inexperienced so he may see going there as a real chance to show he can do something ....or as a stepping stone to something bigger (which would be hilarious)

I guess the other way to look at it is that whoever does come to city when Pep leaves will initially be in the shadow of the most successful manager not only for us but anywhere in world football - again someone of lesser experience might not fancy that.

Whoever takes on City after Pep is going to have to deal with that shadow....if they come in and inherit a title winning team no matter what success they have you just know that the media will spin it as its been done off of Peps back - but does the new man come in and risk changing things (which we know wont work as the whole club from under 6's to first team is set up to play in one way - Peps style) - there are a lot of coaches who might not fancy that....

its going to take someone of not just immense ability but also a fantastically strong individuality and personality to take over from Pep......its almost a thankless job

That might put us in a similar situation as trafford rangers, being controlled from top to bottom by Slur alex and look how that turned out.

A certain Mr Kompany springs to mind, at least as mentally strong and single-minded. Whether he has the coaching ability to go with them is another matter. He has certainly made a great impression so far.
