What I imagine Pep with RDM as assistant would be like.

[Santiago. 1,500]

How is Guardiola a cheater? Its bitterness like this that really makes it clear why Chelsea and Chelsea fans are hated. Why can't you just accept he's an incredible manager and won a ridiculous trophy haul with an amazing team?

Because some people are just fuckin morons.

do u mean to say that the assistant coach wont be able to win anything with the barca squad. pep won because of the great players he had not because of him being the manager. infact he was the reason that barca had an off time last season(if u can call that). any1 with the basic knowledge of football could have seen and predicted that fabregas wont be a good fit into the barca team but pep not only bought him for 40m but changed the entire way the team was shaped and played and that was what ultimately cost them.

also do u actually think that pep can do with the current chelsea squad what he did with the barca squad? every team has its constraints and so do we and so does barca. if barca start playing normal football and start conceding 10 corners a match then they will concede about 3 goals. hence the brand of absolute attacking and possession football. Pep did make the team with his philosophy of total football but if he dint have the players for it then it would have been shit. having players like xavi, iniesta and messi have made barca what they are today not having a coach like pep.

by the way 2008-09 semis against us, 2009-10 inter match, 2010-11 arsenal fiasco (persie red, really?), 2011-12 milan legs and u say there was no cheating involved. co-incidence and luck have a limit too. favouritism to barca from the refrees and uefa is pretty evident. so i dont care if people hate chelsea fans, i am only stating the facts.

I dont mind but its an opinion that a lot share though, I see Tito Vilanova being just as successful due to the squads ability in general. Any decent enough manager should do well with their current squad imo.

exactly. 3 of the greatest players of this era from their own youth academy, name any other team to have the likes of messi, xavi and iniesta. but some idiots just wont accept it.

[didierforever 7,349]

come on......... If u want the thread dead then don't bump it.

its my opinion. every post in thread cant have a positive remark or a "oh wow that would be great" or a "oh great i just came in my pants thinkin about it".. i simply feel pep is not great, he is a good coach who did the needful but it was actually the players who deserve the credit and won it. plus we got ourselves a new coach who has been a former player too and we are fantasizing about dumping him to the assistant manager position to some1 who has no links to this club. so i stand by my first comment "it would be a disgrace to rdm"..

[Beigl 1,387]

Guardiola to Chelsea? are you serious? Roberto is the man!!!

Guardiola is a disgrace the same like Barca.

[Chelsea? 892]

I wasn't complaining about the disgrace to the club part, stand by it all u want. I was complaining about u rejuvenating a thread that seemed to be dead.

its kinda hard to argue against a guy thats won everything and not look bitter.

But seriously this thread should be dead now that RDM is our coach.

No. I do not "mean to say" any of those points at all.

Your entire argument here is based absolutely on the points I have emboldened. Your point is based on assumptions you have made from reading my posts - incorrect ones. Actually, I don't actually even know where you inferred those points from at all. That makes your entire post null and void because it is completely irrelevant because you're arguing the toss over things I didn't even mention.

And in reference to your last point, your are not stating facts. You are stating an opinion. An incredibly biased and bitter one at that.

You go on about stating your own opinion, then go so narrow-mindedly criticise other people for disagreeing with you.

You make decent points - but the moment you call somebody an idiot is an indication you've lost the argument.

I would continue but I find arguing with hypocrites is about as productive as repeatedly headbutting a brick wall. Good day to you.

who the hell cares!?!? it will never happen lock this damn thread already!

the idiot statement was made for some semia guy who quoted u saying something about fucking morons. so know the whole story before judging and calling people hypocrites when u urself act like one. i make a comment saying idiot, and u go on your high horse but wen some1 agreed with u and called others "fucking morons", u had no problem with it. so please know thyself.

as for the argument y do u want pep to be chelsea's coach because people think that he was the architect of barca as we know it now and he has that magic touch to make any team win. but my point is that he might not be the guy with the midas touch but just a good coach who got extremely lucky. i dont know what u mean by saying that how i infered what from what but all i want and wanted to say was the above line.

[didierforever 7,349]

oh sorry, dint know that. just read the title and felt i should kinda comment. but totally agree that the thread should be closed.

Again, where did I say that?

[didierforever 7,349]

u dint dude but its a rhetorical question for the thread. read the next 5 words too. it says "people think". its a general statement for the consensus that is going on and that is what i have been telling you.

some people can be extremely self-obsessed.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

a disgrace to rdm. nothing more.

pep is nothing but a cheator and that too a lucky one. the only reason barca is so successful is because of the likes of iniesta,xavi,messi, all in the same team. even the spanish national team has won everythin so why not consider del bosque as a godly coach? if pep tried his philosophy of football used in barca to any other team it would be a total disaster and that is one of the reason he dint sign a contract for us, because believe me we would have gone all guns blazing for pep with a 200,000 pound a week salary and bonuses and promises of no interference and all the shit but the truth is that even pep would know that he would be a failure elsewhere so dint take the job.

I can't even muster up the words to form an argument to this post. There is so much stupidity within it that it's practically impossible to combat.

Its not even rhetorical... but anyway, enough of this, I'll answer your question - I have never said I wanted Pep at Chelsea. In fact, I was quite against the notion when it was suggested he was coming. But I said "no" without demeaning his phenomenal achievements at Barca, like so many people have done.

okay. then lets just agree to disagree. but again u dont get the point i was making dude.

also dont care if i demeaned him and his acheivements because as i see it, both the ucls barca won, they hardly deserved it. i dont have to explain y i think so as it is pretty obvious.

[capriccioso 2,545]

How is Guardiola a cheater?

Banned for taking a performance enhancing drug, nandrolone in 2002.

That's how he's a cheat.

Obviously that doesn't transfer to management but first and foremost, he was a cheater at a point in his career.
