Where would City be now: if Mourinho replaced Pellegrini instead of Guardiola?

[Indaparkside]

Parking the bus

He'd have nutted Anthony Taylor

Or poked him in the eye.

 

[Keeper!]

What the hell happened to him, went from the most charismatic, refreshing guy in football to an utter top hat.

Thank the lord he never came to our club, if he had no Pep for sure.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

Even more hated and shite

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Won a few things but it would’ve been ugly and we’d be several managers down the line by now.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We would of win stuff, he always does wherever he goes, but we'd be on a new manager by now.

Also Pep came in and instantly put KDB and Silva together in midfield when the 'experts' at the time believed that will never work and the rest is history.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I'd have to see who he bought, Mourinho is no idiot, he'd have been successful with the same players. Definitely wouldn't have been as easy on the eye.

Hard to be objective as he's Pep's nemesis and has been United manager, but I find it hard to imagine he wouldn't be massively popular if he won the league and talked some shit about United and Liverpool in press conferences.

 

[Lowtower]

He'd have been box office with Klopp and the charges, pissing more and more people off.

Wouldn't have been as successful as Pep, but we would have still won things.

 

[KS55]

We would be universally loved for our brilliant defence.

 

[manimanc]

He would've put us back a few years, fell out with everyone at the club from the tea lady to khaldoon and damaged our reputation.
I actually said at the time I wouldn't mind him but if you look at how his star faded and the repeat behaviour of him at every club he went to I'd say we dodged a bullet.
